Kimberly Hartke: Illuminating Wellness Through Light and Leadership
Publicist, health advocate, and visionary entrepreneur Kimberly Hartke has spent her life shining light on what helps people heal. From her early passion for natural health to her leadership with LifeWave, she’s built a mission around empowerment, education, and helping others thrive — body, mind, and soul.
“No one will take care of your health better than you. It starts with self-responsibility and the courage to explore what truly works for your body.”
From Public Relations to Purpose
Kimberly’s journey began not in medicine, but in messaging. As a public relations consultant, she spent years helping wellness associations and non-profits tell their stories. But her own story — and passion for holistic health — began when she and her husband faced personal health challenges.
“I had knee pain, and my husband had high blood pressure,” she recalls. “Through diet and exercise, we lost 50 pounds between us. My knee pain disappeared, and my husband got off his heart medication.”
That transformation changed everything. Kimberly began exploring natural healing on a deeper level, blending her communications background with a new mission: helping others discover what’s possible when you take control of your health. When she discovered LifeWave — an innovative light therapy technology — she immediately recognized the potential. “It felt like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” she says. “No one knew about it yet, and I had the skills to help share it with the world.”
The Power of Light and Innovation
At the heart of LifeWave is a breakthrough: wearable light therapy patches that stimulate the body’s natural healing process by reflecting specific light frequencies back into the skin. “Each patch activates different peptides or hormones to create positive results,” Kimberly explains.
Among them, the X39® patch stands out. “It was developed over more than a decade of stem cell research,” she shares. “It restores the body’s natural ability to heal itself — something that fades as we age.”
The results, she says, speak for themselves. “I’ve seen pain disappear, scars fade, memory improve, and even athletic performance increase.” She tells the story of one client — a heart patient who avoided a second open-heart surgery thanks to improved cardiovascular health after using the patches. Another client, who suffered from chronic back pain, is now pain-free and off medication.
“We’re not just helping people feel better — we’re helping them reclaim their vitality and joy for life.”
Leading with Heart and Vision
As a team leader with LifeWave, Kimberly finds fulfillment in mentoring others to grow both professionally and personally. “It’s a people-oriented business, and that means constant growth,” she says. “I love mentoring, educating, and inspiring others to be their best. Watching my team gain confidence and seeing their lives change — that’s the greatest reward.”
Her leadership extends beyond business. As a founding member of the Global Woman Club in Northern Virginia, Kimberly celebrates the power of community and connection. “I love the diversity of women in this club,” she says warmly. “Every meeting brings new faces, new energy, and genuine support. It’s a space where we lift each other higher.”
A Lifestyle of Longevity and Love
For Kimberly, health isn’t a trend — it’s a lifelong commitment. “LifeWave is a longevity company,” she says. “Our inventor, David Schmidt, is determined to help everyone live longer with a superior quality of life. The simplicity of his invention and the incredible results are what connect people around the world.”
Outside of business, she finds balance in the life she’s built with her husband. “We married later in life, and we cherish every moment,” she smiles. “We travel, dine out, and work out together. LifeWave has become an extension of our healthy lifestyle — the next right thing.”
Her holistic philosophy is simple yet powerful: wellness starts with awareness, and success follows when passion meets purpose.
“We all have the power to heal, grow, and create abundance — not just in our health, but in every area of life.”
The Legacy of Light
As she looks to the future, Kimberly’s mission remains clear — to help others take control of their health and their happiness. “We are changing the paradigm of human health,” she says. “One day, LifeWave will be as common in every household as a box of bandages — and I’m proud to be part of that evolution.”
Her story is one of faith in science, trust in the body’s intelligence, and belief in the human spirit. Through her work, Kimberly Hartke continues to remind others that true wellness isn’t found in quick fixes — it’s built on knowledge, consistency, and the courage to shine your own light.
