The Visionary Behind the Spirit of Avalon

After graduating from Lenoir Rhyne College in North Carolina, Kimberly explored her dreams and aspirations and she realized she wanted to help people strengthen their health, heal and sooth their minds and discover happiness.

Kimberly was fascinated by the interaction of the human body and mind. She was intrigued by the healing relationship between the two. She also had a deep abiding love of nature and animals.

Kimberly moved to Florida to pursue graduate studies at the Fitness Institute in Boca Raton in Wellness programming, exercise and nutrition. It was here she was introduced to the innate wisdom of the healing power of the horse as she worked with handicapped riders. She then launched Life Management, Inc. in 1994. Through Life Management, Kimberly contracted with health clubs and corporations to provide a unique combination of wellness and training programs. Along the way she added fitness, stress-reduction, pain release therapy such as myofascial release work, and self-growth programs.

 

All the while, the idea of Avalon continued to grow in Kimberly's heart. Kimberly took the necessary steps towards making her dream come true - developing Avalon, a center for wellness, with her horses and nature as catalyst for self-growth. Kimberly has also studied with other local and regional experts and organizations. Ten years later, Avalon is half way to its complete vision of all four phases of development.

Wherever Kimberly goes, she spreads a healing energy, a sense of purpose and an infectious enthusiasm.
