Note From the Founder

“Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.” -Nelson Mandela

I too fall down repeatedly but I have learned selfcare skills that help me get back up again. I am Kim Byrd-Rider, a licensed medical expert in pain and suffering. I have spent my lifetime in the academic world searching for answers to the plight of pain and suffering, like many seekers throughout history. I am not alone nor unique. 
 

During the lengthy time it took to earn four healthcare degrees in academia, I expanded my search into the world of holistic healers and wisdom-arts teachers. I have participated in all of the wisdom-arts listed in FWR’s curriculum and am certified in many. My journey has not only been time consuming and expensive, but the resources have been difficult to find and scattered worldwide. My perseverance, tenacity, and grit (developed along the way) helped me to overcome these hurtles. My mission is to simplify this learning process for everyone while still preserving the information quality. 
 

“There is no more neutrality in the world. You either have to be part of the solution, or you're going to be part of the problem.” -T. Siedner

As an authentic healthcare provider, I cannot watch the madness of powerlessness devour people’s lives any longer. I must act from what I know. Firm Water Road is my action solution. 
 

In addition to monetary discounts, our competitors leverage people’s superficial desires to stay pretty and 

young forever as motivation to continue selfcare practices. This type of motivation works from a foundation of guilt and shame: guilt of being fat and shame for getting old. I guarantee that people will never be young forever and time demands this reality. That is where our competitors have failed, and where we succeed. Our goal is to build lasting resilience for whole health, not beauty and youth. We go deep into positive psychology for motivational solutions, leaving guilt and shame behind.
 

Motivation > Selfcare > Resilience > Adapt to Change
 

We focus on psychological hurtles like motivation for learning, relapsing, and universal human needs. People need something more meaningful than just thin pretty girls in tights to motivate them to the whole health level of permanent resilience and adapting. We provide that.

Resilience work also develops clarity of vision, and I am very aware of my life’s purpose. I will most likely oversee this project until the end of my days. My dream is for others to easily obtain what I have arduously struggled to find. I want to offer others the opportunity to experience what I now know: physical pain can be dampened, or even eliminated, and chronic mental suffering is unnecessary.

Much Love,

Kim Byrd-Rider
