Discover Your Child’s True Potential

Education for a New World

Essential guidance for parents, educators, and professionals

Support for children and adolescents

Every Child is Unique and Has Something Special to Share

A beautiful new generation of children are here. They possess diverse forms of intelligence, heightened sensitivities, energetic awareness, and vast gifts that become capabilities, not disabilities, when understood and supported. These children are not here to fit into the status quo, they are here to help us transcend it. They begin to flourish with parents and educators who can understand what they have to share and support them with the guidance and education to be who they are.

Welcome. I’m Kim Southerland.

As an educational therapist with over thirty years of experience working with children, adolescents, and families, as well as a parent myself, I understand how confusing it can be to raise children in a world and in educational systems that have not caught up to the multidimensional capacities and gifts our newer generations have to offer.

My practice is designed to help parents move from confusion and challenge to clarity and ease, and to help your child live a fulfilling life and express their true nature. The children today have enormous gifts to share, yet too many are struggling in one-size-fits-all, high-pressure environments that encourage fitting in over authentic expression.

They begin to truly flourish with parents, educators, and other caring adults who can understand them, support them for who they are, and help them realize their unique potential.

If you or your child are struggling, or if you simply want to provide your child with a solid foundation to express their true self, I’d love to help. I’ve been there — as a child, parent, and an educator, and I would love to share my extensive knowledge and experience with you.

It is my sincerest desire to be the helping hand I wish I had during a similar time in my life.

Educators & Professionals

Many children today possess diverse forms of intelligence, heightened sensitivities, and energetic awareness that often lead to school, behavior, and mental health challenges when misunderstood.

I’d love to share how these vast gifts can become capabilities, not disabilities or problems, when understood and supported.

“When I was five years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy.’ They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.”

— John Lennon
