Kim Colegrove
Background
Kim Colegrove is an international speaker, author, and training instructor with extensive experience in mindfulness, stress reduction, and emotional resilience. She’s the founder of Pause First Academy, an online platform that provides trauma-informed training and practical tools for professionals in high-stress, service-oriented roles.
Colegrove has taught professionally for over 15 years. Her early career included teaching in corporate settings such as Garmin International, United Way, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the National Court Reporters Association.
In 2014, Kim’s husband—who served 30 years in law enforcement—died by suicide shortly after retiring. That personal tragedy shifted the trajectory of her work. Since then, she has focused exclusively on supporting trauma-exposed professionals, including first responders, healthcare workers, veterans, and others in high-stress professions.
Kim is the author of Mindfulness for Warriors, The Mindfulness for Warriors Handbook, Wellness Warrior Style.
