Kim (“Kimla”) Desrosiers, RMT, MEng, ORDM

Kim, also referred to as “Kimla” by Buddhist and Reiki students, shares awareness and energy practices learned from Tibetan masters, energy healers, and vegetal master teachers throughout the world. Through decades of study, practice, facilitation, and teaching of highest yoga tantra, energy healing, Mahāmudrā, Dzogchen, sleep and dream yoga, and psionics (e.g., metal bending), she blends her consciousness with unconditional love. She is a Reiki Master Teacher and Founder of The Art of Reiki Collective, Psychedelic-Assisted Hypnotherapist, QHHT Practitioner and ordained minister.

Kim has taught energy and consciousness practices internationally with Dr. Robert Thurman, at The Monroe Institute, at Menla Retreat - Tibet House US, and at corporations and Buddhist organizations around the world.

For 30 years, Kim served as an environmental engineer and mediation consultant. She was the first woman ever to be promoted to equity partner in the construction and environmental segment of one of the largest consulting firms in the world. She holds Bachelor of Science and Master of Engineering degrees from Rutgers University and Pennsylvania State University and completed post-graduate work at Harvard Law School and MIT.

Kim has written extensively, on environmental forensics, transportation, geospatial systems, and meditation, and has been widely published by The Brookings Institute, Google.org, CEO Today, and Finance Monthly, among others. Kim has been written about for her ice climbing.

In 2014, Kim’s crown chakra opened, and for a twenty-four hour period, she received light energy into her central channel. Following this “upgrade” Kim came into all of her Clair-senses overnight. After this enlightenment event, she began her studies in Reiki following higher guidance provided at Mount Kailash, Tibet during a Tibetan Buddhist pilgrimage. After discovering Dolores Cannon’s work, she devoted herself to learning her method of hypnosis, a process very similar to Nature of Mind practices Kimla learned from her Tibetan teachers. Upon seeing the impact made by using Cannon’s visionary methods, she recognized QHHT to be an extremely powerful methodology for both healing and revealing one’s Higher Self. To read more about the similarities between Nature of Mind and hypnotherapy, see here.

She founded The Art of Reiki Collective in 2024, following the recognition that the transmission energies of Universal Life Force (Reiki) in western culture were dramatically reduced as a result of the omission of the Reijus (empowerments). The Art of Reiki Collective brings back into Reiki practice the spiritual teachings of Dr. Usui’s Reiki and the Tendai Buddhist lineage, along with the power of the Reiju.

As an Energy Master, Reiki Master Teacher, hypnotherapist, QHHT Practitioner, intuitive, and poet, she is most passionate about illuminating the path through bringing awareness of one’s Higher Self aka SC aka Buddhanature, whatever one calls who they truly are, outside the experience of karma. Once that inextinguishable fire is lit, and you realize you are so much more than you have been led to believe, you will never go back to the default world. You and your world are made new.
