About Kimberly Akuna
Kimberly Akuna is a Vice President and Financial Advisor with the WNW Group at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management in Clayton, Missouri. She brings a thoughtful, well-rounded perspective to wealth management, shaped by her experience as a corporate professional, mother, community member, and lifelong learner.
Kimberly works with clients through meaningful life transitions, including career changes, divorce, retirement, and evolving family responsibilities. She has a particular focus on supporting the “sandwich generation” — individuals and families balancing the financial needs of aging parents while planning for children, independence, and future generations.
Kimberly’s approach is grounded in balance, trust, and clear communication. A dedicated yoga and AcroYoga practitioner for more than 25 years, with certifications across multiple yoga and mindfulness disciplines, she draws on those principles to help clients make thoughtful financial decisions with clarity and intention. Whether guiding a family through a complex transition or helping an individual prepare for the next chapter, Kimberly seeks to create a planning experience that feels steady, personal, and empowering.
Her passion for overlanding, wilderness camping and motorcycle riding also informs her work with clients. These pursuits require preparation, adaptability, and sound risk management — qualities she brings to financial planning and portfolio conversations, particularly during periods of personal or market uncertainty. As a gardener and local “victory farmer” in Saint Charles, Missouri, Kimberly also appreciates that meaningful growth requires patience, discipline, and consistent care. She applies that same mindset to helping clients build, preserve, and transfer wealth through customized strategies, including multi-generational planning and education funding.
Kimberly attended The George Washington University School of Business, where she pursued dual concentrations in International Business and Tourism, Hospitality and Sport Event Management. Prior to her work in wealth management, she built a diverse professional background across luxury hospitality and media operations, land and real estate development, and mind-body healthcare programming. Today, she combines that operational experience, client-centered mindset, and disciplined planning approach to deliver highly personalized financial guidance.
