Turning her pain into purpose, Dr. Kim became a certified Advanced Grief Recovery Method Specialist and created the DoctorKSD Evolved Brand to help others by empowering them with the proper tools to navigate life after any type of the loss, to reprogram their mindsets and to see themselves as the amazing creations they were designed to be through her P.A.V.E. The Way and Mold Me programs.
