About Me

I am a dedicated and passionate Life Transformation and Weight Loss Coach with much international experience. My initial training and education as an educator and trainer with a B.A and later a Masters laid the foundation for my love of supporting individuals to realize and reach their potential. Coaching was the vocation I always naturally aspired to and was ecstatic when I discovered that I could study, practice and certify as a coach.

With my background in education, training, coaching, an intercultural lifestyle and the tools, techniques, strategies of coaching and my innate intuition I am able to support many clients on a global level to achieve their potential and dreams.

As a direct outcome of my own life experiences I have discovered that despite one’s environment or perceived limitations, one can create the life and culture you want no matter where that may be. This may not always be easy - trials and tribulations are part and parcel of life, but with new perspectives, success tools and by re-framing our circumstances, we can overcome all hurdles and dare to dream our biggest dreams.

My brand differentiator is my experience in real life international experience in living abroad in many countries which has enabled me to coach across cultural and demographic borders. Another reason for clients choosing me as a coach is my passion and my absolute commitment to not only my clients, but also my own continued growth and self -development. I have the ability to really hear what my clients are saying and to zone in on what the real issue is. I listen, provide honest and effective feedback and very importantly I provide a safe, trusting and non-judgmental environment place for my clients to open up, discover their true selves and embrace change and success. I have no agenda whatsoever except to help my clients get what they want and deserve!

Dear Kim, I cannot say enough about the work we've done together. You saved my life. I know that sounds dramatic, but you helped me in ways that I really didn't ever envision. Today, I no longer feel wound up like a top about anything. Yes, I get agitated and irritated, but it doesn't last as long as it used to. It's as if the percentage of time I spent agitated is now the time I spend more at peace because I'm now doing and saying things I never did before. Me! Lots of love, Diane

Kim Knight's weight- loss program and expatriate truly changed my life! I began coaching with her as an expat, living in South Korea, at a time when I was feeling anxious about my weight, health, and the transition of coming home to Canada. I began her weight-loss program in April, at 74 kilos, and reached my goal weight of 60 kilos only 3.5 months later. Having tried countless programs and always failing, I didn't expect that I could possibly achieve this goal. When I was on the last week of my vacation in Thailand -right before flying home- I reached my goal weight! The best part was that Kim was there to share that moment with me. I'm so grateful to her for inspiring me to ask more of myself and continuing to offer support and coaching. Since I've been back, I've managed to stay at my goal weight and was even asked to model ski clothes for a magazine- never in my wildest dreams did ever think I'd do something like that!!!! Kim's approach is different than anything else out there- it will target and impact every other aspect of your life. I found that once I got started, it just got easier and it has had a positive affect on every aspect of my life. Thanks Kim!

I contacted Kim Knight in Oct 2005 and agreed to a life coaching contract of 12 weeks. I am now in week 20 and still going strong. The reason I am still coaching with Kim, is not that I haven’t resolved or made progress on what I originally went to her for help with, but that I have made SO much progress, even more than I ever thought possible, that I choose to continue our coaching relationship. I will continue to use coaching to support me in living the best life possible. Now I understand why world class athletes have coaches. They definitely have the skills and talent, but their coach helps them get to the top level in their field. That is what my coach does for me; she helps me be at the world class level in my life. Life coaching brings a very positive focus and forward movement towards what I want in my life. I feel so positive, inspired and enthused about myself and my life. I have someone who is totally behind me, supporting me to move towards what I want. I know that so much more is possible and I will continue coaching to help me get there. I make much more progress with a coach, than I have ever made on my own or with anyone else’s support. I am happier, more peaceful, more content, and believe in myself and my abilities more than I ever thought possible. I am amazed at the real changes that have occurred in my life in such a short period of time, changes that I have been wanting for 15 years, but no other method or process helped me achieve. I can highly recommend coaching to everyone, and especially coaching with Kim. She is supportive, challenging, insightful and a great coach.

The formula is incredibly helpful. Kim, I know I’ve said this to you before and I may have already said this to you last week, but I’ll repeat it. What I’ve learned in our sessions together over the past couple of years feels so concrete; even the words you use such as “tools” is very concrete/tangible. That I can mine an incident, for example, successful or not and come away with a tool for more successful communication still leaves me shaking my head. You’ve made something I thought was a one-off possible again. You’ve shown me that I do have the power.

Having a coaching session was something new to me, but I was willing to try it to help me deal with someone whom I thought was "difficult". I discovered that there were tools available to me that I could use and apply to the problem with my coach's help. Kim is a great listener and she has helped me handle things differently, not only with the issue we were working on, but other issues that could be solved in a similar fashion. She inspires one to take action and direction to find your own solution.

In the time that I've been a client of Kim's I've found her to be consistently professional, dedicated and sincere. I started the coaching process without any prior knowledge of the field and consequently, I was a little wary at first. In very little time Kim's honest and practical character reassured me that I was in good hands. Her real desire to help is immediately apparent and her wisdom, positive energy and pragmatic approach have been a balm to my soul time and again. I started the coaching at a time of great confusion and hopelessness in my life and, with Kim's help, my thinking has become clearer and I now feel that real change in my life is possible. She has helped me both outwardly in choosing my career direction and she continues to help me move forward inwardly in many facets of my life.

Kim has got me to meet my own rebellion! It was this rebellion inside me that made me sabotage myself when it came to eating. To be able to see that when I ate something that jeopardized my weight loss the only one I was cheating on was me. Today I have found that instead of having the feeling of "missing out" on something when I “can’t” eat what I want to eat, I have the ability to see the benefits instead when I decide to NOT eat whatever is enticing me. It is a GREAT feeling. Kim has supported me by listening without judgement; she believes in my own strengths and believes that I can drop weight. She has held me accountable and has REALLY MOTIVATED me to move out of my comfort zone and take responsibility for what I want and where I want to go. I will ENCOURAGE all those who REALLY want to find your way to losing weight and get fit to takestep out of your comfort zone and ask Kim to support you on your way! I want to give Kim A BIG BUNCH of flowers for supporting me in all the ways that I needed.

When I first met personal life coach Kim Knight I was a deeply frustrated person. My personal growth had been stuck for years and although I appeared to most people to be functioning well, I knew something was very wrong. After a while Kim started coaching me for an hour a week and bit by bit I discovered things about myself I had never even suspected. She has given me the key to unlocking my blocked potential and helped me to change within some important relationships in my life, so that I have not been growing alone. Our work is continuing and she is unfailingly supportive, professional and insightful. I have great admiration for her and even greater gratitude because without her I would not have opened these new doors.
