Kim Carter is a life coach certified in the EquineFlow method, a Certified Financial Education Instructor (CFEI) and an ARIA Level III hunt seat instructor. She is also a writer and you can find all her latest articles on Medium. She specializes in igniting transformation in people who want to heal hurt and step into the light. Kim grew up riding and showing in the traditional hunter/jumper world in upstate South Carolina. Horses were always her safe place, barns her salvation through a hard childhood. She wrote stories focused on these barns from a young age and had great early success as a writer. Kim attended the South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and the Fine Arts Center in Greenville and won numerous poetry prizes, including the coveted Young Arts award. She attended Wofford College on a full scholarship where she studied English and Art History, completing a novella and continuing to publish. She graduated with honors and quickly built a career as a journalist covering the arts and food in SC while also working for an upstate gallery and The Greenville Museum. Her career path set, she thought she was doing everything right until panic disorder left her virtually housebound. Horses, again, became Kim’s salvation. She took a year off to write a book and began cleaning stalls for a large Quarter Horse operation. The hours in the barn quickly led to the purchase of a young horse named Max who pushed her to move past the prison of her fears into a sense of her own power and transformation. Twenty years later, Max is still doing the same work for her and many others who come to Kim’s riding school, Bramblewood Stables, to explore the pull that brings us to healing with horses. Life coaching is a natural extension of the work Bramblewood does daily. Small, private sessions draw on the beauty of the natural wold surrounding the stables and give clients a safe place to delve deep, manifest goals, and draw on their strengths to create a balanced way of being.
