My Philosophy About Highly Sensitive People
You aren’t weak because you feel so deeply. In fact, it makes you brave. Our society needs more HSPs like you to lean into your sensitive nature so others can benefit from your talents and gifts.
When you allow yourself to be who you are wholeheartedly, you attract the right people, career opportunities, and experiences far more than when you try to hide your sensitivity.
You can build resilience, set clear boundaries, and build a happy, healthy life. Sometimes you need the right support and intellectual feedback to do it in a way that helps you create meaningful change in a way that feels good.
Welcome to Happy HSP Coaching!
I’m Kimberly Marshall, creator of this space and a Life Coach for HSPs.
One of the most profound moments in my life happened when I discovered I was a highly sensitive person (HSP). I was 19 and pregnant. My world was caving in as I struggled to focus on schoolwork, navigate changing friendships, and sustain healthy relationships with my family.
In my search for answers, I stumbled upon Elaine Aron’s book The Highly Sensitive Person and immediately flipped to the “Are You Highly Sensitive?” quiz to evaluate whether I was an HSP. To my surprise, I checked every box.
I bought the book, read it in one sitting, and my life has never been the same. I no longer feel like there is something “wrong” with me, which was a message I’d long internalized. Instead, I’ve learned to embrace my sensitivity and enjoy experiencing the world with deeper emotion and awareness. My journey toward healing and honoring my highly sensitive self hasn’t stopped since.
After nearly 20 years of working for some of the best companies in their respective industries, including Time Inc., W.W. Norton, and Monster.com, I decided to embark on a new and meaningful path. I’m on a mission to change the way people perceive HSPs and their ability — but also, even more importantly, how HSPs perceive themselves.
HSPs can be resilient leaders.
HSPs can pursue fulfilling careers.
HSPs can build healthy, happy lives.
HSPs can nurture satisfying relationships.
HSPs can do anything they set their minds to!
Once you realize how special, gifted, and capable you are, there is nothing that can stop you. Join me on this journey as we work together to unlock the power you already have within you to create the life you want and deserve.

A Bit More About Me…
I live with my husband and daughter in a stone house that was built in 1710.
Our other family members include a mini goldendoodle (Moose), an adorable Pekingnese (Charlotte), two cats (Billy and Luna), and a ball python (Tom, aka “Noodle”).
Our property is nestled alongside a beautiful river and nature preserve in New Jersey where we often hike, kayak, and fish.
In my downtime, I love to read, garden, and create cozy spaces.
