WHAT PARENTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT INTEGRATIVE EDUCATION:
“We have changed the way we parent and deepened the love and compassion…”
Kim has been an invaluable gift to our family. She has helped us better understand how our sons move through the world and how we relate to each other as a unit. The ideas that she brings to us and her understanding of how families work together has changed the way we parent and deepened the compassion and love that we have for each other. We are all on a journey together and Kim has helped us steer in the right direction. We are beyond grateful!
—Parents of 4th and 7th grade students
“Kim has changed the course of our daughter’s life…”
Kim has been instrumental in our daughter’s development. She takes a whole-child approach to teaching and bringing out the best in the child. Kim knows each child exceptionally well as an individual through her integrative techniques. Our daughter went from struggling in school and having ADHD, dyslexia, and many other learning disabilities to being at the top of her class at a very academic school. But most importantly, my daughter has gained self-confidence and independence, proving to be crucial as she approaches the teen years. Kim is so talented, caring, brilliant, and in touch with the unique gifts each of our children possess. I am so fortunate we found her. She has changed the course of our daughter’s life.
—Parents of a 12-year-old
Kim Southerland has been one the most influential people in our daughter’s life from the moment she began working with her. Without Kim’s dedication, devotion to her work and students, and deep wisdom and insight that transcends beyond a typical educational therapist, our daughter would not have achieved the level of success, both at school and in her personal life, that she has today.
—Parent of an 11th grade student
“Kim’s work transcends beyond a typical educational therapist…”
“We are incredibly grateful for Kim’s expertise, high-level of excellence in the field of educational therapy, and devotion to helping our whole family…”
Although our daughter had qualified and was accepted to a school for gifted children, she could not master basic reading and math in first grade. It was puzzling to us and to her educators. Kim was recommended to us and created a thorough and tailor-made holistic plan specifically designed for our daughter’s needs. Kim’s work brought relief not only to us as parents, but most importantly to our daughter. As our daughter has grown and transitioned, Kim has been her unwavering educational therapy support, provided guidance for both us and our daughter, and has truly changed our lives. We are incredibly grateful for Kim’s expertise, high level of excellence in the field of educational therapy, and devotion to helping our whole family.

“My daughter has worked with Kim for several years and we could not be happier with the results...”
My daughter has worked with Kim for several years and we could not be happier with the results. Kim really got to know my daughter and formed a unique bond with her, and my daughter really connected with her. Kim understood her strengths and challenges and formed a program to help her succeed. My daughter has learned so much but more importantly, gained so much self-confidence.

WHAT PARENTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT PRIVATE SESSIONS WITH KIM
Parent - Child Integration
Kim is magical and her abilities to communicate on a subtle energetic level are exceptional. I had an energy integration session with my father. I had a lot of questions for him and still felt a lot of pain. The best way to describe my experience is I felt like I had picked up the phone and was on call with him. It was as if he was right there speaking to me. The way she starts made it clear that it was him. I cried because I felt him. I got answers to questions. He had a lot to say- lol. It was a healing and transformative experience for me. In the end I had resolve and felt complete. Nothing can compare to what Kim channeled through. She is real. She is gifted and she can communicate with the outer realms. I am so grateful for the gift she gave me.
—Jaime H., Parent
“I was most impressed with her ethical manner to such a sensitive area as parent-child relationships…”
As a semi-retired college professor of psychology, I feel I can attest to Kim’s extraordinary qualifications in energetic communication. I was most impressed with her ethical manner and novel lines of application to such a sensitive area as parent-child relationships. My three sessions were emotional and spiritual, as well as metaphysical. Each left me with an immense sense of peace and calm throughout my body. Without a doubt, Kim’s sessions were truly the most powerful healing tool that I have ever experienced – a psychological shift in consciousness that brought me closer to unlocking some rather toxic relationship patterns in my past. Kim, you are a remarkably gifted educator and divine individual. Thank you from my heart for these life changing experiences.
—Tina C., Professor of Psychology
My work with Kim was a refreshing beacon of light- she explained my children with extreme accuracy.
I worked with Kim on multiple occasions for two of my children. Parenthood is such a challenging, beautiful experience and it can be bewildering at times. It can be hard to find guidance as a parent that feels relevant and trusted. My work with Kim was a refreshing beacon of light- she explained my children with extreme accuracy. Her words have continued to unfold as truthful for me and that has been a relief and also very powerful. She is the real deal- she connects with something larger and more powerful and wise than where we are living in this moment. She is humble, kind and extremely effective. I would highly recommend working with her!
—Cicely C., Parent
“My encounter with Kim wasn't just a session, but a symphony of revelations about my son, Sam, that resonated with my heart long after…”
My experience with Kim is like detailing a journey into a world where intuition and insight became the guiding forces. The session awakened and inspired in me a profound link to a love transcending life. Among the myriad gems Kim unveiled, what stood out most was her uncanny ability to connect me with my son, revealing layers of thought and emotion that brought perspectives I hadn’t fathomed before. Ultimately, my encounter with Kim wasn’t just a session but a symphony of revelations about Sam that resonated within my heart long after the final note. These revelations became instrumental in crafting my book, “Between Two Gates: A Young Man’s Quest Toward Birth,” capturing the essence of Sam’s journey and our continued connection.

Ancestral Energy Integration
Working with Kim is an extremely gentle process where you feel completely guided, held and safe. She has led me to trust my own inner guidance with her unconditional support and authenticity. I have learned to let go more, trust myself, and stay present. Most of all, I have grown, become more confident and changed the story of my life.

“I left feeling so full in my heart, with unexpected insight into areas I had not planned to explore.”
I was immediately comfortable with Kim. Her energy is calm and supportive and she is both mindful and courageous in her sharing. I was amazed at how she communicated with gestures, words, and general energy that made it apparent that she was connected to my family member. I felt the connection all over my body and the communication was as much visceral as verbal. I left feeling so full in my heart, with unexpected insight into areas I had not planned to explore. My time with Kim continues to resonate. I can feel the subtle shifts from our work together. Kim is uniquely gifted at what she does.

WHAT PARENTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT LIFEMAP SESSIONS
“I can’t rave enough about the LifeMap Session she provided on behalf of our daughter…”
After a long journey of meeting with countless educational therapists and undergoing multiple evaluations and testing, it became clear that we needed a quarterback to help us navigate through the educational system. Kim Southerland, being a mom herself, is empathetic to the struggles of advocating for sensitive children. She helped us devise a comprehensive plan for our daughter. She broke it down into simple steps, and her calm demeanor gave us peace of mind that everything would be just fine. I can’t rave enough about the thorough LifeMap Session she provided on behalf of our daughter. It not only mirrored information from the neuropsychological evaluation, but also provided us with even more insight to understand our daughter on a much deeper level, which is helping her thrive in all areas of life. With Kim’s help, we feel more connected to our child and understand how to advocate for her individual needs. As our daughter said, it’s as if a lightbulb went off for her. She is not only thriving more at school, but she’s confident in knowing who she is. We loved it so much that we went through the same process for our other two daughters.
—AL, Parent of a 10-year-old
“As a parent of two amazing neurodivergent sons and a licensed psychologist, I believe that Ms. Southerland’s LifeMaps are providing parents with a more holistic view of their children…”
While Ms. Southerland does not discount the traditional neuropsychological report, she does add significant context to the diagnoses and to your child independently from the report through her LifeMap session. Ms. Southerland’s LifeMaps are a strength based and growth inspiring session filled with helpful, creative and sensible strategies to build on the strengths of your child and “how to’s” for addressing areas that need development. The session is holistic and child centered, with recommendations for parents on how to help their child.
My only sadness is that Ms. Southerland did not offer this service earlier. My sons received this information when they were 18 & 20. I happily shared it with each of them and they were amazed at how factual and spot on they felt it was. They are both using the recommendations provided with the accommodation offices at their universities to receive more personalized help. I am so grateful for Ms. Southerland for providing these amazing LifeMaps and only wish that every parent could see their child so holistically.
