Hi, I’m Kim.

I was introduced to the concept of Non-Violent Communication by my grade seven teacher. Around the same time I discovered Dan Savage’s advice column and The Sunday Night Sex Show, and inherited my mother’s well-worn copy of Our Bodies, Ourselves.

Growing up in a sex-positive environment led to some lively dinnertime conversations, including discussions about attachment theory and bisexuality. Friends started to come to me for advice on sexuality and relationships.

I studied Gender and Women’s Studies at Dalhousie and spent my free time perusing the shelves of Venus Envy, a sexuality store that inspired me to open Red Tent Sisters (RTS) with my sister in 2007.

Running RTS gave me the opportunity to talk to hundreds of people about their intimate lives. Conversations would often start with, “I’ve never told anyone this before…”

As a therapist, I offer a space where you can share without fear of judgment.
