Kimberly Blair brings a unique blend of science, spirituality, and real-world experience to the healing space. With a background in Psychology and an MBA, she seamlessly integrates academic expertise with holistic therapies, helping clients move through grief, stress, and personal transformation. She’s a Grief Counselor, Clinical Hypnotherapist, Conscious Connected Breathwork Practitioner, Reiki Master, and Sound Therapist, offering a deeply personalized approach to healing.
Her journey into holistic wellness began with her own profound loss, leading her to explore alternative therapies that address the mind, body, and spirit. Through hypnotherapy, she helps clients release limiting beliefs and past traumas. With Reiki, she restores balance and vitality. Using transformational breathwork, she guides deep emotional release. And as a Grief Counselor, she provides compassionate, evidence-based support for those navigating loss.
At The Guides Holistic Therapies, Kimberly combines ancient wisdom with modern tools to help you find peace, clarity, and healing—whether you're seeking relief from stress, processing grief, or unlocking your full potential.
Background & Roots
Before launching her own practice, Kimberly built a diverse career across property management, higher education, tech startups, and later, as the General Manager of Saffron & Sage, a renowned holistic health clinic. This experience gave her a well-rounded perspective—one that values both tangible results and the unseen forces that shape our lives.
Her approach balances data-driven insights, ancient wisdom, healthy skepticism, and deep intuition. She believes in meeting clients where they are and guiding them to places they’ve never been—emotionally, spiritually, and energetically.
Born and raised in Indonesia, Kimberly later moved to Texas, where she got a crash course in American culture before making San Diego her home in 2006. When she’s not working with clients, you can find her at concerts, traveling, practicing hot yoga and pilates, or simply unwinding at home in Bird Rock with her husband and black cat, soaking up the sun and cozy slow moments.
At The Guides Holistic Therapies, we believe in a grounded, no-nonsense approach infused with empathy and honesty. Our practice is dedicated to providing effective therapeutic and coaching services, both online and in person, tailored to meet the unique needs of individuals and couples.

At The Guides Holistic Therapies, work is guided by more than just a desire to help people heal. It’s built on a conscious commitment to the Triple Bottom Line: People, Planet, and Profit.
People
Each month, I donate my time to a local senior center, holding space for those who often feel unseen or unheard in the later chapters of life. Creating connection and offering presence in that environment is one of the most humbling and grounding parts of my work. It reminds me that healing belongs to all of us, at every age.
Planet
As part of my dedication to environmental wellness, I tithe monthly to the San Diego Sierra Club chapter. This supports the preservation of our natural spaces and contributes to the long-term health of the planet. Nature is an essential co-regulator for grief, stress and overwhelm, and a reminder of the need to rest and abundance during our seasons. Protecting it matters deeply to me. Many of my clients feel the same and find real solace in the natural world.
Profit
Financial sustainability allows me to keep two beautiful, welcoming locations open here in San Diego. These spaces exist so that clients can experience healing in person, away from the screens so many of us are tied to all day. For people working remotely, managing grief and receiving therapeutic sessions through a screen, can often feel disconnected or flat. Being in the same room, breathing the same air, and sharing real presence makes a powerful difference. Profit helps me maintain these spaces with consistency and care.
This is what a values-based practice looks like. It’s not just about what the offerings. It’s about how I offer it, and why.
With over 15 years of diverse training, credentials, and higher education, I’ve cultivated the expertise to guide you through healing work in a safe and effective way.
