Sometimes the simplest stories hold the deepest wisdom. Primal Health Coach graduate Kim VanDolah’s path is a beautiful example of this truth.

Kim VanDolah credits the PHCI coaching practicum for expanding her confidence to grow her business.
Kim is a certified Primal Health Coach and the founder of Return to Simple LLC. She has turned her own journey with ancestral living into a mission-driven business. Through her coaching practice, she guides women back to clarity, peace, and purpose.
Kim’s approach is rooted in what she calls a Simple Ancestral Lifestyle—focused on simple food, simple life, and simple presence.
Through this lens, she supports women who feel overwhelmed by modern chaos. Her coaching helps them slow down, reconnect, and reclaim their health and joy.
Here is what infuses Kim’s work:
Helping women clear the noise—inside and out—to find calm and wholeness
Encouraging small, heart-led changes grounded in timeless wisdom
Sharing practical guidance inspired by Amish and True-Hearted traditions
What makes Kim’s approach so genuine is her own story of transformation. She discovered the Primal Health Coach Institute (PHCI) because it aligned perfectly with the depth she sought—especially in communication, client support, and building a thriving coaching business.
Kim credits the PHCI coaching practicum for expanding her confidence. It sharpened her ability to walk alongside clients through real, lasting change.
Helping just one person reclaim health and peace is a success Kim treasures. But she is also celebrating a major milestone in her business journey—publishing her debut book, Return to Simple: A Journey of Hope and Truth.

Kim VanDolah's book, Return to Simple, is a guide that will invite readers into intentional living through ancestral wisdom and faith.
This heartfelt guide invites readers to step away from overwhelm. It calls them into intentional living, inspired by ancestral wisdom and the stories of Amish and True-Hearted people who live with quiet strength and faith.
Here is Kim’s encouragement for new coaches:
“Take a deep breath. You don’t have to figure everything out today. Spend time outside—often and in silence. That’s where inspiration and clarity tend to meet me, gently pointing me back to my purpose and how I’m meant to live it out, one step at a time.”
