CO-FOUNDER TK Stretching + Starlift Academy

Kimberly started her health and fitness career in 2010, where she graduated from National Personal Training Institute in Chandler, Arizona. She started personal training at Lifetime Fitness and continued her education in the fitness industry where she got certified in NASM CPT, Corrective Exercise Specialist, and Institute of Integrative Nutrition.

In 2012, she left Lifetime Fitness and started her own business, Arizona Fitness Trainer.

Between 2015 – 2017, Kimberly completed all 3 levels of Fascial Stretch Therapy through Stretch to Win and got certified through the ONNIT Academy in Unconventional Training.

During that time she met the love of her life, Timothy Lucas. Timothy and Kimberly joined together in business and started TK Stretching in 2016. In the beginning of 2018, Kimberly and Timothy decided to relocate their business to Austin, TX in search of more growth and more opportunity.

Between 2018 to 2022, Kimberly furthered her education but this time through the lens of spirituality. She became certified through the Completion Process by Teal Swan and finished level 1 and 2 of Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique as well as Level 1 and 2 of Reiki. Kimberly then began to work with others who have been struggling with past trauma/struggle/addiction and more. She has also received her certification in NeuroLinguistics Programming.

In 2023, Kimberly Co-Founded the Starlift Academy with Autumn Bouakadakis where it is a Christ-Centered Trauma Healing Ministry.

Today, Kimberly and her husband Timothy continue their passion guiding others out of pain physically, mentally, and emotionally. Their mission is to empower people to feel safe and comfortable in their bodies through Fascial Stretch Therapy and Spiritual Guidance.

CO-FOUNDER of The Starlift Academy

Autumn Boukadakis began her training in the creative arts after graduating from The University of Texas with a Bachelor of Arts at the Butler School of Music. Her career has spanned a multitude of talents, art forms, and genres.

For over a decade, she worked on-air in the radio industry in Austin, TX, fine-tuning her creative skills, while touring as a singer/songwriter, sharing her many gifts and releasing four studio albums.

She is also a 600 hr certified teacher in the healing arts of body alignment, and advanced her artistic cravings further when opening an interior design firm called Spindle Design Co. Additionally, she is a published author of The Book of Love.

While training to work with foster children in 2015, Autumn realized she was being divinely led to various faith-based approaches to cognitive behavioral therapy and alternate modalities to healing, which fueled her creativity and curiosity even further.

She quickly realized how misunderstood mental health is, and how patients have been stigmatized, institutionalized, and completely misguided.

Autumn started working with Kimberly Lucas in 2019, and discovered firsthand that by unlocking our faith with creativity, one can realize their true potential and limitlessness, and take accountability for who they are.

Combining the creative and healing arts through a sacred lens led to an innovative and visionary approach to higher connection and Truth.

Amid this adventure of creative meanderings, and among many, many trials & tribulations, a spiritual awakening of salvation occurred and sweet Jesus brought the revelations needed to proceed with a clear, direct, and most poignant mission: THE STARLIFT ACADEMY.

Autumn and Kimberly created The Starlift Academy in service to their faith and devotion, in hopes of guiding others back to the center of who we were all born to be, in the most spirit-filled, imaginative and loving way.

Autumn is particularly interested in serving the gifts of neurodivergent minds, the highly creative, PTSD survivors, veterans, addicts seeking recovery, ACA travelers, and children.
