About Kim Aikens M. D.
I bring extensive experience across multiple industries to my work as a career coach and mindfulness trainer. I have helped individuals transform their careers, start new ventures, become better leaders and learn to cope with setbacks and disappointments. In particular, I am passionate about coaching in healthcare and bring a fresh perspective to health care professionals who are seeking career advancement or transition.I am also the founder of The Aikens Approach, an innovative corporate mental fitness and mindfulness-training program. Research on this program, done at The Dow Chemical Company, showed statistically significant improvements in employee well being, work engagement, and resiliency. Because of this experience, I am able to combine mindfulness training with powerful coaching strategies. This dual approach can result in remarkable outcomes for individuals and corporations alike.A graduate of Middlebury College, I received my M.D. from the University of Vermont. After private Internal Medicine practice, I completed a fellowship in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona. In addition, I have an MBA from the University of Michigan Ross School of Business.
