Dr. Kim Calder Stegemann
Dr. Kim Calder Stegemann is an educator, therapist, author, and researcher. She has spent her professional career helping others to make positive changes in their lives and feel better about themselves. She does this through a wholistic approach; looking at brain activity, external behaviour, social context, and a person’s emotional well-being.
“Neuroscience isn’t an exclusive club. Everyone should be able to access information on how their brain works. My goal is to be able to explain and share the information in ways that are understandable and useful for each person.” For over two decades, Calder Stegemann taught at Thompson Rivers University and is an esteemed Professor Emerita. During her tenure at the University, Kim furthered her studies into counselling and neurotherapy because she felt there was a gap that needed to be bridged to understand the “whole picture” of a person. Her comprehensive approach makes her unique in what she can offer to her clients. “What I love most is making a genuine difference in people’s lives,” says Kim Stegemann
