About Us

Estes Park Concierge

Thin spaces, according to Celtic tradition, are spaces where Heaven and earth merge.  Thin spaces are places on earth that allow people to feel God’s presence in a real and palpable way. It’s a porous space that blurs the boundaries of our own mortality with longevity and well-being.

Estes Park, Colorado instantly became a cherished retreat for our family, so much that we chose this enchanting location for our elopement at the historic Stanley Hotel. Post-wedding, we reveled in sledding adventures in Rocky Mountain National Park. This deep connection led us to formalize Estes Park Concierge, aiming to provide other families with stress-free, meticulously planned experiences in Estes Park. As active members of the Estes Park Wedding Association, we leverage our expertise to assist wedding couples in realizing their dream ceremonies with the finest local venues and vendors. While you’re here for your special day, let us curate entertaining and mesmerizing activities for all your guests to enjoy.

Kim Branum, RN-BSN

Kim received her BSN at UNC-Chapel Hill and spent the first 6 years of her nursing career in the Cardiac ICU with Carolinas Medical Center and Novant Health. After caring for patients with critical illnesses, including close family members, Kim began a mission to promote wellness and longevity from a preventative approach.  Her journey led her to create and establish a virtual weight loss company in 2017, and eventually to co-create Thin Space Wellness, which focuses on a more wholistic medically preventative option for patients.  As a 5k finisher in 2000, to a marathon addict-gone-Ironman finisher by 2012, Kim is passionate about fitness and exercise as part of her life and the lives of all those around her. Kim’s 20+ year love for yoga led her to become a 200 hour certified yoga instructor to better serve her clients and their need for physical and mental wellness. Kim is a Nurse Injector and Weight Loss and Fitness Coach for Thin Space Wellness patients.

In addition to direct care of patients and wellness coaching, Kim is a writer for numerous magazines and websites, including Lake Norman Woman magazine, Estes Park Trail Gazette, and Mountain Island Living. She is the primary contributor for the This Space  recipes and blog posts.
