ABOUT SURA
Meditation Coach
It was during that time that she began integrating coaching, healing and meditation for her executive clients. Sura helped her clients release stress through meditation, while coaching them to achieve their most important professional and personal goals. She taught at a number of places including Exhale Spa, Equinox executive club and the Cancer Support Community center in Ann Arbor, MI.
In 2010, Sura began offering Certified Online Training Courses.
Due to the number of requests to learn an integrative approach to coaching, Sura began training others in integrating different healing modalities with coaching and meditation. At that time, she also co-produced “The Sura Flow Complete Integrative Video Series Program,” a nationally distributed DVD yoga and meditation series.
Sura writes for The Huffington Post, Thrive Global, and has appeared on Huffington Post LIVE. She attended the University of Michigan and The London School of Economics. She is also a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and Reiki Master.
Sura is passionate about helping people to tap into their joy through meditation.
OUR TEAM
Sura Kim
Founder
Sura began meditating while working in finance in New York. She learned the art of meditation from a beginner’s book, and after experiencing its profound benefits decided to commit her life to her spiritual practice. She left the East Coast for Asia to immerse herself in her studies, which further refined her meditation practice. Later, she took personal retreat in nature in Salt Spring Island, B.C. to develop a unique form of meditation that includes the feminine expression of spiritual practice. Her Sura Flow meditations integrate healing, energy cultivation, prayer, focused intention and manifestation. Sura is passionate about sharing meditation with others so they may learn how to find calm, and receive the guidance they need to realize their full creative and spiritual potential.

“After acquiring formal training in Mindfulness and Creativity Coaching, Chela found herself searching for ways to combine all that she had learned. Sura Center presented her with that missing piece. The LIBERATE Meditation Coach Training course allowed Chela to experience the deeper, authentic parts of herself, and helped her to refine her unique style of coaching. This deeply profound experience has inspired her to give back and share the gifts she received from her training at Sura Center. Chela proudly collaborates with Sura and the team in “Creating Leaders in Meditation.”
