Kimmi’s journey into health and wellness began after the devastating loss of both parents—just eight months apart—to preventable illnesses. While the grief was profound, it ignited a passion that would shape the course of her life. Kimmi transformed that pain into purpose, embarking on a path of healing and self-discovery, learning to nourish herself not only for physical well-being but also to become a more present parent, supportive friend, and effective leader.

Along the way, Kimmi recognized how often individuals—particularly those serving on the frontlines—neglect their own well-being. Fueling the Frontline evolved from a program into a personal mission: to empower first responders to care for their bodies with practical, judgment-free, food-based strategies that enhance energy, recovery, mental clarity, and long-term health—without the clinical feel of traditional therapy. Her goal is to make wellness accessible, sustainable, and deeply human for those who dedicate their lives to serving others.

“It’s not just about surviving the job—it’s about building a lifestyle that sustains strength, clarity, and purpose long after the shift ends. Saddle & Sea aligns perfectly with my personal mission to help first responders fuel their bodies for resilience without judgment or pressure—just support, connection, and real-life strategies that work.” - Kimmi Denesha
