About

Beth Kim, MAEd

I deeply cherish my time working with families, and I am committed to creating a non-judgmental, growing, and healing atmosphere where you can be listened to, valued, respected, and cared for.

I am deeply concerned for the well-being of children, teens, young adults and all those who care for and support them. I believe supporting you and your child with regulation, connection, and felt safety can make a huge difference for you, your family, and our community.

I am an early childhood education professor, a mom, a certified peer counselor, and a Kindergarten-college level educator with 15 years experience, and I've spent many years developing my toolbox. I'm here to encourage and support you and collaborate with you as you navigate the ups and downs of caring for yourself and your family. I offer relationship support, ideas for navigating school systems, nutritional support, and suggestions for ways to parent peacefully (including highly sensitive/deep feeling/neurodivergent people).

I have a Bachelors degree in Developmental Psychology from The Evergreen State College, & a Masters in Education from Pacific Lutheran University and I'm an avid reader. I bring the latest information and strategies together with my own hard-won expertise. I offer wellness coaching, and lots of encouragement and empathy to support evolving families. I believe we need to slow down and lead with love and compassion (for ourselves and others), and the rest will fall into place.

Blooming with Beth Parent Coaching & Support

Beth Kim, MAEd

Congratulations on taking the step to come to coaching! I trust that you will be glad that you did.

My Part: I will listen to you with my full attention. You can expect respect, focus, and the “benefit of the doubt” from me. I am not a judge, nor am I a stakeholder in your story. I am an observer on the sidelines, who, after listening closely, may have a perspective that will be helpful. I will, to the best of my ability, tell you the truth as I see it. You can count on that.

Sessions will take place in person, on the phone, or on zoom.

Your Part:

During our sessions, please feel free to correct me if I misinterpret something you say. Do your best to tell me the truth as you see it.

Please come on time.

Cost for one hour of individual consulting is between $120-180 (you decide where you fit on the scale based on your financial resources) and I have various coaching packages as seen on my “Offerings” tab on my website www.BloomingwithBeth.com.

Please pay at the time of service. This is a small practice. I don’t accept insurance, or credit cards. However, I do accept cash, and check and have a Venmo account @BloomingwithBeth.

A few specifics about my practice:

I will set aside a full hour for an hour session.

I don't typically charge a missed appointment fee. I understand that life is busy, and appreciate your thoughtfulness of my time.

However, please try to give me 24 hours notice, and if you miss two or more sessions, we will have a conversation about whether or not there is room in your schedule for coaching.

Communication:

With pre-purchased coaching packages, you have unlimited communication with me, so please feel free to reach out regularly. I want to be here for the day to day support, and I will respond when I can between 8am and 9pm. For consulting clients, you may text me for check-ins and updates. And please be thoughtful of my time, and schedule an appointment for larger conversations. The response will often not be immediate, but I will reply within 24 hours. I would love to stay connected.

Client Disclosure Statements-Beth Kim Life Coach

Confidentiality and release of Information: I keep a record of the date of services that I provide. This includes dates we meet, only. I have a ethical responsibility to protect your privacy, and I will not normally disclose your records to others and I will not go to court. However, there are some limits to that protection. In some instances, I may be required by law to disclose your confidential information. This will occur if:

1. I have a reason to believe that you or someone else’s life and safety is threatened or endangered.

2. If there is evidence, or even a suspicion of physical or sexual abuse or neglect of a minor child, or vulnerable adult (dependent, developmentally disabled, or incapacitated person).

3. As part of a good professional practice, there are times when I will consult a colleague or supervisor about one of my clients. When I do, I will not disclose any identifying information about you.

Testimonials

"In the decade I've been parenting, I've worked with various parent-support professionals, and Beth is truly top notch. Her neurodiversity-affirming approach, deep compassion, lived experience (both as a ND child and as a parent of ND children), and creative problem solving empower parents to create real, lasting change. With wisdom and warmth, she starts at the root - supporting parents so they can support their children. Most of the parenting support I've received in the past is focused on what we can do better for our children, which creates a cycle of continuing to hold myself to a higher and higher parenting standard, while still trying to pour from an almost empty cup. Beth's work is different. I, myself, as the parent get nurtured and replenished through her groups - which recharges our whole family system. The shifts are both sustainable and deeply meaningful. If you're looking for someone who truly gets it, Beth is the guide you need."
