Welcome to The Starlift Academy!

Christ-Centered Trauma Healing + Recovery

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Romans 12:2

Bridging the Dimensions of Heaven and Earth within the system of self.

The Starlift Academy is an innovative & Divinely-led system designed to gently heal trauma, alchemize underlying pain, restore mental & physical health, and reclaim Truth in your spiritual agency.

What is The Starlift Academy?

The Starlift Academy serves as a guiding light on the journey back to Truth and the essence of our divine nature, aligning with the purpose that God intended for each of us. Through its teachings and experiences, the academy facilitates self-discovery, transformation, and a return to the authentic selves we were created to embody.

In essence, The Starlift Academy is a pathway to reconnect with the divine blueprint within, unraveling the layers of conditioning, beliefs, and illusions that may have veiled our true essence. It acts as a compass, pointing toward the core of our being and fostering an understanding of the universal truths that transcend individual perspectives. As Psalm 25:4-5 says:

“Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.”

The academy is also a sanctuary for those seeking recovery and healing, particularly for individuals overcoming addiction. It acknowledges the deep pain and struggles that addiction can bring and offers hope, guidance, and restoration. Jesus’ words in Matthew 11:28-30 provide a foundation for this mission:

“Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

The academy encourages individuals to explore, question, and unlearn societal and personal constructs that may hinder the realization of their authentic selves. By providing insights, tools, and experiences, it empowers seekers to navigate their unique journey of self-discovery. This journey leads back to the Truth at the heart of their existence, as Jesus declared in John 8:32:

“Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

For those recovering from addiction, The Starlift Academy offers a space to rebuild their lives on the foundation of God’s love and grace. It supports participants in breaking free from the chains of addiction, aligning with 2 Corinthians 5:17:

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”

Through practical tools, spiritual guidance, and community support, The Starlift Academy equips individuals with the armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) to protect their hearts, minds, and spirits as they face the challenges of recovery:

The Belt of Truth: Standing firm in the truth of God’s promises, rejecting the lies that addiction tells.

The Breastplate of Righteousness: Living in the righteousness of Christ, embracing a clean slate and new opportunities.

The Footing of Peace: Walking forward in peace, letting go of chaos and fear.

The Shield of Faith: Trusting God to shield them from temptations and triggers.

•The Helmet of Salvation: Renewing their minds and embracing the hope of salvation and recovery.

The Sword of the Spirit: Using God’s Word to combat negativity and despair, and replacing it with hope and truth.

At The Starlift Academy, recovery is not merely about breaking free from addiction—it’s about rediscovering one’s identity as a beloved child of God, worthy of love, purpose, and a bright future. As Isaiah 61:1-3 declares:

“The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.”

Ultimately, The Starlift Academy is a sacred space for inner exploration, transformation, and healing. It is a beacon of hope for anyone yearning to overcome life’s burdens and walk boldly in the divine purpose set forth by God, living out the promise of Jeremiah 29:11:

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

The Starlift Academy reminds us all that no matter how far someone has fallen, God’s grace is sufficient, and His power is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).

Kimberly Althauser- Lucas

CO-FOUNDER TK Stretching + Starlift Academy

Kimberly’s journey is a testament to the transformative power of faith, healing, and purpose. In 2013, after the heartbreaking loss of her best friend, Laura Sweetman, Kimberly fell to her knees in grief and encountered the undeniable presence of God. Witnessing His signs through flickering lights, she experienced a profound awakening, reigniting her faith and realizing that God had been guiding her steps all along.

At the age of 22, Kimberly launched her career by founding Arizona Fitness Trainer in 2012. A graduate of the National Personal Training Institute in Chandler, Arizona, she began her professional path in health and fitness with certifications in NASM CPT, Corrective Exercise, and Holistic Health Coaching from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. Initially, she believed she was navigating life independently, but as her relationship with God deepened, she saw how His hand had shaped her journey.

In 2015, after a heartfelt prayer for guidance and a life partner, Kimberly met Timothy Lucas, her future husband and partner in purpose. Together, they established TK Stretching in 2016 in Gilbert, Arizona, blending Fascial Stretch Therapy and personal training. Their shared mission of promoting healing and growth flourished, and in 2018, they answered God’s calling to relocate their business to Austin, Texas. This leap of faith became a pivotal moment in Kimberly’s life, bringing profound physical and spiritual healing and solidifying her belief in God’s plans.

From 2018 to 2022, Kimberly expanded her education in both spiritual and therapeutic practices, earning certifications in Fascial Stretch Therapy, the Completion Process, Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT), and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). She discovered her passion for guiding individuals toward harmony and healing, especially those struggling with past traumas, addiction, and pain.

In 2019, Kimberly and Autumn Bouakadakis co-founded The Starlift Academy, a Sacred Healing School dedicated to guiding individuals back to God’s Light. Working with the Holy Spirit, they help others rediscover their divine purpose and align with God’s truth. Through her work, Kimberly empowers others to embrace their God-given identity and step into a life of healing and purpose.

Today, Kimberly and Timothy continue to lead TK Stretching, offering Fascial Stretch Therapy, Spiritual Guidance, QHHT, and NLP to help others find freedom from physical, emotional, and spiritual pain. With her unwavering faith in God’s promises, Kimberly dedicates her life to helping others shine their light, as Matthew 5:16 encourages: “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”

Kimberly believes that surrendering fully to God’s will allows His power to work through us, bringing transformation, healing, and hope. As Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Autumn Boukadakis

CO-FOUNDER of The Starlift Academy

Autumn Boukadakis began her training in the creative arts after graduating from The University of Texas with a Bachelor of Arts at the Butler School of Music. Her career has spanned a multitude of talents, art forms, and genres.

For over a decade, she worked on-air in the radio industry in Austin, TX, fine-tuning her creative skills, while touring as a singer/songwriter, sharing her many gifts and releasing four studio albums.

She is also a 600 hr certified teacher in the healing arts of body alignment, and advanced her artistic cravings further when opening an interior design firm called Spindle Design Co. Additionally, she is a published author of The Book of Love.

While training to work with foster children in 2015, Autumn realized she was being divinely led to various faith-based approaches to cognitive behavioral therapy and alternate modalities to healing, which fueled her creativity and curiosity even further.

She quickly realized how misunderstood mental health is, and how patients have been stigmatized, institutionalized, and completely misguided.

Autumn started working with Kimberly Lucas in 2019, and discovered firsthand that by unlocking our faith with creativity, one can realize their true potential and limitlessness, and take accountability for who they are.

Combining the creative and healing arts through a sacred lens led to an innovative and visionary approach to higher connection and Truth.

Amid this adventure of creative meanderings, and among many, many trials & tribulations, a spiritual awakening of salvation occurred and sweet Jesus brought the revelations needed to proceed with a clear, direct, and most poignant mission: THE STARLIFT ACADEMY.

Autumn and Kimberly created The Starlift Academy in service to their faith and devotion, in hopes of guiding others back to the center of who we were all born to be, in the most spirit-filled, imaginative and loving way.

Autumn is particularly interested in serving the gifts of neurodivergent minds, the highly creative, PTSD survivors, veterans, addicts seeking recovery, ACA travelers, and children.

Spiritual-Based Trauma Healing involves guiding individuals to their truth by tapping into divine guidance from God. This approach recognizes the interconnectedness of spiritual, mental, and physical well-being in the healing process. 

Sherri Ferns

Sherri Ferns is a devoted teacher at the Starlift Academy, where she helps individuals reconnect with their inner wisdom and deepen their relationship with God through the transformative love of Jesus. Her journey began in the corporate world, where she excelled in hospitality and event management. Despite her professional success, Sherri felt an undeniable longing for something greater—a call to align her life with her faith and divine purpose.

In 2021, a divine encounter with a mentor sparked a profound awakening. Sherri turned to her faith, finding clarity and purpose through Jesus’ words: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). She realized her mission was not just to succeed professionally but to serve others by guiding them back to the truth of God’s love and their unique purpose.

As a teacher of the Starlift system, Sherri focuses on helping women embrace their God-given identity and live with clarity, strength, and faith. Inspired by Jesus’ command to “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:16), she encourages her students to step boldly into their divine calling.

Sherri believes that Jesus is the ultimate source of healing, connection, and purpose. Through His example of love and grace, she leads her students to release fear, rediscover their inner voice, and walk in alignment with God’s will. With scripture like “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13), she reminds them that with Jesus, anything is possible.

Grounded in her faith and fueled by her passion for helping others, Sherri Ferns is committed to creating a safe, nurturing space for spiritual growth and transformation. At the Starlift Academy, she  and Jesus walk alongside her students guiding them to the ultimate truth: that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6).
