Hi, I’m Kym.
I’m a Certified Apitherapist & Bee Venom Therapist living in South Carolina with my husband Christopher.
I was born and raised outside Chicago, and loved going to Bulls games and watching Country Music Television as a child. I went to Duke University for traditional medicine, but ended up becoming a holistic medicine healer instead.
These days, you can usually find me with a bee in my hand, or on a hike with my favorite herbal tea.
As a kid, I was a nationally ranked competitive gymnast and always had tons of energy. I was super active and would sometimes very literally bounce off the walls. I got a normal cold or flu like any other child, but was always healthy and robust.
Then when I was 21, my health took a turn for the worse. It started with acne, then the brain fog came…and the list just kept getting longer as each year passed.
I hit the metaphorical wall when I was 27, and was utterly exhausted. I had insomnia, skin issues, heart palpitations, extreme joint and pain, depression, memory problems, full body rashes, exhaustion, vitamin deficiencies, food allergies, and days that I struggled to function. I was physically dragging myself through life.
I hopped from doctor to doctor in search of someone who could actually help me. They kept telling me I just had a minor vitamin deficiency or was simply stressed out because I lived in New York City. But I had a feeling that something else was going on. And finally I had the instinct to ask my gastroenterologist for a Lyme test. He agreed, even thought it wasn’t his field, and got me the test. A few weeks later, I went for a follow-up appointment. And sure enough: my instinct was right. I had chronic Lyme disease, and my numbers were off the charts. I went to a Lyme specialist after that, and he confirmed the diagnosis.
I’m a very determined person. Once I found out I had Lyme, I was gung ho to find the cure! I exhausted every health protocol and diet under the sun in my search. But I didn’t find any solution…until I realized I had to start trusting myself. And then my health started to transform.
I have a mentor who taught me how important it is to trust my instincts, and through a magical series of events, I found Bee Venom Therapy.
Suddenly my health radically changed. I was blown away by Apitherapy and its healing powers. The bees were healers that created major movement in my Lyme Disease where nothing else had helped. And finally…I started eradicating my symptoms.
I was so blown away by what I was feeling, that I trained for 3 years with a few master teachers to learn about the medicine of the bee. I studied ancient and modern forms of Bee Venom Therapy, learning various modalities to help my clients heal.
And in 2023, I officially became a Certified Apitherapist and Bee Venom Therapist.
Health crisis is a gateway to massive opportunity to grow. My wild and crazy and incredibly frustrating health journey changed my life forever. And I can’t wait to help you change yours.
All of my Lyme disease experience is experience that I can give to you. I learned how to make the ever-maddening realm that is Lyme an incredible adventure. And a fun case to be cracked! I know you probably wouldn't think that’s possible, but I promise you...it is.
