ABOUT ME
I am a Yale University Professor in Medicine and Psychiatry, Licensed Psychologist, Yoga Instructor, and Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach with certification in Lifestyle Medicine.
I have more than 15 years experience in studying the mind-body connection for cardiovascular diseases, and I have supported both individuals and teams from industry, the arts, and the sciences who seek aligning experiences in healing, wellness, and health.
I have also worked with physicians, psychologists, and other clinicians with roots across the globe who are growing their careers while promoting health and wellness and working on their individual missions in life.
My work with industries in the cardiovascular device and pharmaceutical realms centers on designing evidence-based, value-based care frameworks as well as focusing on holistic care experiences.
Kim G. Smolderen, PhD
A JOURNEY OF SELF DISCOVERY
My roots lie in Flanders, Belgium. From there, I navigated Antwerp, The Netherlands, and eventually the U.S. I have lived and worked in the Midwest and then moved to the New England area, working with many individuals pursuing their passions and building their own heart lived experiences.
In an ever-changing world, the art of living your life united with your heart and soul’s passion becomes key to not only survive, but to thrive, and become the best version of yourself.
