My name is Kim Masters. I founded MATS Consulting and Make Peace With Money in 2008.
It is safe to say, I help people to look at money in a very different way.
In my work, I combine 25 years of accounting experience in South Africa and the UK, with a passion for healing therapies (Shiatsu, Reiki, Swedish Massage, and EFT). This approach means that I teach people practical money skills and also help them with the mental and emotional side of money.
Bloodclots & Breakdown.
In 2010, I suffered from two blood clots to the lungs, and in 2016 my husband had a work-related mental breakdown. Both of these events negatively impacted my financial situation, however it is this lived experience that has aided me in the development of my work, and means that I deal with money in an empathetic, non-judgmental way.
Work Smarter, Not Harder.
This is my motto whenever I help people, whether it is individuals or business owners. I enjoy helping people to see the story of their numbers, and showing them that no matter what that story looks like, you can always keep making new choices. The trick is to try and simplify things and remove the fear.
