My Journey to Art and Healing
Hi, I’m Kim Rogers
I am an ARTIST and HEALER. Wow! It has taken me a nearly a year to say those words out loud. In my 57 years in this human body, my journey has not been a straight line, but more so a roller coaster of twist and turn moments. I've always related to the Incubus song lyrics "The world's a rollercoaster and I am not strapped in". I wouldn't have it any other way for those moments of adversity have brought me the most growth as a human.
January 2023 Journey Update!
So much has changed since the release of my website in June 2022 (7 months) I felt it was necessary to update my Journey page. If you'd like to learn more about my initial journey to art and healing, skip to the content below.
My spiritual journey has grown exponentially in the past few months. I can feel shifts in my gifts when they appear. I've created a daily ritual practice including self-reiki, grounding, breathwork, Qigong, visualization, journaling and sometimes journeying and periods of deep shadow work in order to help me remember my gifts. All of this helps me stay grounded so I can remember my gifts in order to help my clients.
What I've experienced in the past 7 months:
Vision and communication with my spirit guides
Vision and communication with my passed ancestors
Vision and communication with deceased friends - helping them journey to the light
Communication with client's spirit guides
Insight from client's spirit guides
Communication/messages from client's passed on loved ones
Visions of client's past lives
Clear insight on specific client trauma to be healed
Feeling and seeing energy including orbs of different colors
Feeling and seeing faerie energy
Feeling and seeing dragon energy
Connection to the Goddesses Sekhmet and Durga
Feeling activations and downloads
Astral travel
Past life memory recollection
Telepathic communication with animals
Remote viewing
Visual shadow work
Feeling huge magic that is untapped, but within reach
Some of the above is also known as channeling. I prefer to describe it as vision, connection, etc. I will be honest and tell you that I don't necessarily have complete control over these gifts right now. I think that is the point. I'm letting them come in on their own with no expectations. I find when I try to force, rush, or control these gifts things become unclear.
Even though I don’t necessarily have control of these abilities, they are being helpful with clients and even my artwork. I trust that Spirit will bring in what is needed and when it is needed to help myself or a client.

Initial Journey to Art and Healing
Prior to September 2020, If someone would have told me that I would be an artist and healer, I would have thought you were crazy. I didn't think I had a creative bone in my body. I would even say "I'm not creative". I would attempt to create a costume or headdress and it would turn out like a pre-school gift for a mama!
I've always been left brain dominant with strong analytical skills, hence my career in the chemical engineering field. Looking back, I can say my journey to art and healing began decades ago, but the messages only became more clear in July of 2020. I'm sure everyone in the world can play back 2020 in their head and will do so for years to come. Between Covid-19 and the fear related to it and racial tensions exacerbated by George Floyd's death at the hands of police in May 2020, my mind (and physical body as I understand more now) were in a state of breakdown. The onset of this breakdown had been coming for years. I needed help, I needed relief, and I needed peace. So I began meditating.
Meditating…
During my first meditation I felt the connection of oneness. The connection of every living thing. I had a vision of it. It was like a mesh overlaying the Earth that continuously moved like waves in the ocean. It was like I was breathing in energy that filled me with peace and calmness. I now know I did breath in life force energy for healing, for I immediately felt peace. There was no drug or mind-altering substance involved and I was hooked! My life had changed.
Purpose…
Over the course of a few months I began asking the Universe what my purpose was. After all, isn't that what we all should be doing? To remember who we are and what our true purpose is? The message became overwhelming clear that I was to create art. It's not like the messages appeared like subtitles on a movie or a text on a phone. I had to really listen and tune in. It showed up as a deep knowing. I began investing in art supplies and watching YouTube videos for inspiration and jumped in with both feet! Making art has brought me immense peace and joy. It's as if I'm in a perpetual state of meditation the entire time I'm creating. Every moment I making art, I'm in the present and not focusing on the past or future.

The Beginnings…
I did attempt to draw in 2019 and drew the heart on paper to depict the pain I was feeling at that time. As you can see my heart was injured, even beginning to die. It had scars. I was suffering. The mural I painted in June of 2021, shows a heart open and overflowing with love! This is because I dove into my darkest shadows and brought light to heal those parts of me in pain. Art has been a huge part of this breakthrough. Nothing else in my life had changed. It was me - I had changed.
New Orleans
I do want to give credit to New Orleans, where I lived for a bit in 2018-2019, for providing an incredible environment rich in creativity around food, music, and art. New Orleans will always have a special place in my heart and I believe aligns with my spirit. That city has a soul like no other.

Art to Healing…
So, no, I don't have any formal training in art, but more of a drive that comes from deep in my soul. Every time I create, I heal and a bit of memory of who I am is recovered. Every piece of art will have come from my heart and soul and will contain magic including being infused with Reiki!
I haven't quite discovered my niche because I'm still experimenting. You will find my art to be very eclectic with me mostly using bright, bold colors. Much of my art has come to me through visions during meditation or dreams. My art is about sharing my journey and taking you along with me as I grow, evolve, and learn.
I'm still on my journey to heal and uncover my true self. We all have a need for healing whether it be from social programming, current life trauma and past life trauma, or even trauma carried to you from past generations.
“As soon as healing takes place, go out and heal somebody else.”

Ah, yes. We all need to share our gifts. We all have that magic that can heal the Earth! I had experienced Reiki several times in my life, but living in Miami Beach for a few months in both 2020 and early 2022 I had exposure to Reiki and sound healing circles and it brought me immense peace and contentment. They both resonated with me. I had the opportunity to train under experienced mentors there for both Reiki and sound healing and I continue to learn more daily.
In February of 2022 I clearly received the message “Come as you are, you are ready”. I am ready to share my gifts of artistry and healing. I am being divinely guided and feel confident I can help people unlock their own magic. Thank you for following my journey.
A bit more about me…
I was born and raised in Delaware and now currently reside in Milton, Delaware near the gorgeous Delaware beaches. I do travel in the winter and have lived in New Orleans and Miami Beach. I have two sons, Hunter and Jake, ages 26 and 23 who have been an intrical part of my life long journey to where I am now. When they were very young I decided to live an authentic life for them.
I have three kitties that are a family. Bella is the mama and Maui and Remi are the babies. They’ve been with us for over 5 years and are simply magical. They came into my life at a critical time. They are definitely a key piece of my spiritual journey and are my protectors
I obtained a Bachelor degree in Chemical Engineering and have worked in the corporate world for over 30 years and am journeying to my true purpose. I have been interested in fitness for over 20 years and have been an avid CrossFitter for the past 13 years owning a CrossFit Gym for 4 years and competing in the CrossFit Games as a Master Athlete in 2016-2018. I took up Chemical Engineering 2 years after high school without having any advanced science or math in high school and become an elite CrossFit competitor without having any real athletic background. I was guided on these paths all to prepare my mind and body for my current spiritual awakening. All of this is part of my journey leading me to where I am now. I am excited about life and excited about my future!
