MEET YOUR COACH

Meet Dr. Kimber Kenzli, OD, FAAO, CPC, ELI-MP

Founder & Certified Professional Coach

Hello, my name is Kimber and this is my story from burnout to alignment. As an only daughter in a family shaped by disability and military service, I learned early that love meant being useful. I became a caregiver, an achiever, and a server of others long before I had language for what it cost me, including my mental well-being, which I struggled with from a young age.

That pattern carried me through nine years of higher education and into my career as an optometrist specializing in pediatrics and brain injury rehabilitation, just as a global pandemic reshaped healthcare. My love for my patients fueled me but I was checking every box and putting myself last. Eventually burnout, compassion fatigue, and chronic exhaustion caught up with me. My body knew I needed a change before my mind did, and physical illness finally forced me to pause. In that pause, I asked why I was struggling when I “should be” thriving as a Doctor of Optometry. Along the way, I found courageous clinicians who were struggling too, despite their deep compassion for their patients.

Through that honest reckoning, I healed, relearned my boundaries, and helped facilitate group well-being coaching for my fellow clinicians. I learned the language and practice of coaching through International Coaching Federation-certified level 2 PCC coursework, which led me to this journey as a Certified Professional Coach. Today, I split my time between patient care and helping high achievers, clinicians, and student doctors build resiliency, purpose, deep alignment and a life of true fulfillment. I help others lead their lives, and others, exceptionally well.
