My Story

I’m Kim, mom of two — one girl and one boy, who keep me crazy but add all the magic to my life. ✨

Aside from being very family oriented, I’m also a part-time nurse. I’m an empath to the MAX (IYKYK) and thrive on connecting with others, understanding their stories, and finding ways to support them through my work. I’m a lover of lake life, and if I could choose a perfect day, it would be spent sipping coffee on a porch, watching my kids catch turtles, frogs, and fish. Overhearing their little kid conversations is EVERYTHING!

My heart lies in the deep conversations — learning all about what motivates you, your fears, your flaws, and how we can all grow and become better versions of ourselves. All the realness.

In my quest to find a way to live a slower life, homeschool my kids AND create a career that I love, I discovered the world of permanent jewelry. It’s more than just a business for me; it’s a way to connect with people and create meaningful pieces that tell their stories—reflecting where they’ve been, who they are today, and the journeys that lie ahead. I may have two small people assisting me along the way. ☺️

The name GENE + george is a heartfelt tribute to my babies, a constant reminder of my motivation to be better every day. Please join me on this dream! Let’s start your permanent jewelry addiction! I can’t wait to meet you! 🫶
