The Guides Holistic Therapies Named Finalist for Celebrating Women Awards by San Diego Magazine
We’re thrilled to share some incredible news: Kimberly Blair, founder of The Guides Holistic Therapies, has been named a finalist for San Diego Magazine’s 2025 Celebrating Women Awards in the Fitness & Wellness Rising Star category! This prestigious honor recognizes trailblazing women in San Diego who are creating real impact through their leadership, innovation, and community service.
Holistic Wellness Empowering Women in San Diego and Beyond
Kimberly’s work is rooted in helping women heal and thrive: emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Through her in-person holistic therapy practice in La Jolla and Pacific Beach, she supports clients navigating grief, burnout, anxiety, chronic stress, and life transitions. Her credentials include a background in psychology, an MBA, and certifications in Clinical Hypnotherapy, Grief Counseling, Conscious Connected Breathwork, Sound Therapy, and Reiki.
Each session at The Guides is a sanctuary for deep healing where clients release stuck emotions, reconnect with purpose, and emerge feeling stronger and more aligned. Kimberly’s unique approach has made her a go-to resource for women seeking transformational mental wellness care in San Diego.
A Rising Star in San Diego’s Wellness Community
Kimberly was selected as a finalist not only for her skill and compassion as a practitioner, but for her pioneering efforts in the wellness space. She is among the few holistic therapists offering specialized pet loss grief counseling, partnering with Paws Into Grace, San Diego’s trusted provider of at-home pet euthanasia and cremation services. Her clients describe her as “a lifeline,” especially in moments of profound loss.
She also serves as the primary wellness practitioner for Urban Street Angels, offering trauma-informed care for unhoused youth in San Diego. And as a socially conscious entrepreneur, she runs her business with a triple bottom line: people, planet, and profit; donating a portion of profits to the San Diego Sierra Club and volunteering monthly at senior living communities.
Why Kimberly Blair Stands Out
In a city known for cutting-edge wellness, Kimberly stands out as a compassionate, strategic, and forward-thinking leader. She was featured by Collective Financial for her business acumen and selected for the inaugural cohort of the Better Business Bureau’s Business Accelerator Program. She is also proudly listed on Psychology Today as one of the few holistic grief practitioners in the region.
