We had the good fortune of connecting with Kim Secco and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kim, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
For 20 years I worked in the mortgage industry as an underwriter, working 40+ hours a week, making a very decent living but not actually “living”… . I’ve always had a passion for holistic health, held a massage license and reiki master teacher certification but never made the jump to leaving a cushy salary.
Finally in 2017 I decided to walk away from my work at home 80k salary plus bonus job, to open a massage and reiki practice….. everyone I knew thought I was insane.
to do it i decided to decrease my debt and things, sold our house and new cars, bought a cash car, and started my own healing practice.
My income was about 1/4 but I was so much more happy and was actually living again, not “working” but living my soul purpose and passion and having time with my family. It was the best decision I ever made for myself and my kids.
Especially after 2020, as now I am a full time homeschool/unschooling/roadschooling mom working part time raising conscious kiddos, this is another change that would not have been possible while working 50 hours a week for “the man” .

What should our readers know about your business?
I have a healing practice located in a Littleton, Co chiropractic office. I’m a massage therapist that incorporates reiki into every massage, healing the mind body soul and spirit. I also provide aromatherapy, cupping, singing bowls, tuning forks for energy clearing with each massage at no extra cost if desired. CBD and natural pain relief options are also available. I like to custom each massage to what the individual needs at the moment so they leave me feeling a sense of healing.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Hmmm…. I enjoy being outdoors with nature so anything near trees, mountains and creek and hiking would definitely be on this itinerary… I would say top 2 local spots for me are the magical woods of Idaho Springs & St Mary’s Glacier is a must see.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would say my husband has been a huge support to me and me being able to follow my life’s purpose. If it was not for him letting me be my crazy self and make these decisions that seem insane to most I would not be happily living my soul mission today.
