Why the Peace Crane?
Peace Crane Wellness was influenced by the origami peace crane, a symbol of hope, peace, resilience, recovery, and the belief that small, intentional acts can create meaningful change.
Its meaning is deeply connected to Sadako Sasaki, a young girl who folded origami cranes after developing leukemia from radiation exposure following the bombing of Hiroshima during World War II. Her story of hope, perseverance, and peaceful action continues to inspire generations around the world.
To us, the peace crane represents the courage it takes to heal, connect, and choose peace and compassion for ourselves and others.
About peace crane wellness
Through meditation, breath, movement, sound, rest, connection, retreats, workshops, and community-centered experiences, Peace Crane Wellness aims to create spaces where people feel empowered, supported, seen, and safe enough to return to themselves.
Our work is rooted in the belief that healing is not linear, softness is powerful, joy matters, and every person deserves the opportunity to thrive.
About our founder
Hi! I’m Kim. Years ago, I walked into my first yoga class hoping it might help my back hurt a little less. Instead, it changed the way I understood myself, my work, and what it means to care for our bodies and nervous systems. Yoga became a way to take care of and reconnect with myself and rediscover my voice.
I've spent almost a decade working alongside nonprofits, schools, healthcare organizations, and community partners, learning that the magic happens when people feel safe enough to be themselves, creating space for both healing and joy. That's the kind of space I hope to create every time we meet.
Today, I'm an E-RYT 500, Reiki Master, and Certified Sound Facilitator with advanced training in trauma-informed yoga, mindfulness, and breath work. I'll also forever be a student, learning from the people I have the privilege to practice alongside. Whether we meet on a yoga mat, in a workshop, or on the dance floor, I'm really glad you're here.
