Welcome! I’m Kim Colegrove. Author, educator, and founder of Pause First Academy. I teach breathing, meditation, and mindfulness for stress management, nervous system regulation, and trauma recovery.

For years, I worked primarily with trauma-exposed professionals including first responders, veterans, healthcare workers, and social service professionals. I’ve seen firsthand what chronic stress and unprocessed trauma can do to the nervous system, and what begins to shift when people learn simple, practical regulation tools.

In 2026, I’ve widened my circle.

This channel is for anyone seeking evidence-based and practical tools for:
•	stress relief and stress management
•	nervous system regulation
•	emotional resilience

Alongside traditional approaches, we also explore holistic, integrative, and alternative perspectives on healing and wellbeing.
