What is Mental Freedom®?
Kim has developed her proprietary process called, Mental Freedom ®, to help clients transform any painful emotions they are experiencing into something neutral or even positive. This is not a process that takes a long time; rather it is taught in six sessions and can be applied to any painful situation in a person’s life.
By learning and following the Mental Freedom formula, so many people are already living a Mentally-Free Life. They’ve had transformations in their romantic relationships, with their children, with their parents, at work and more.
Mental Freedom® is the solution for:
- Relationships that arent't working.
- Children that are making decisions with the power to ruin their lives.
- Jobs that are sucking you dry.
- Addiction
- The blocks that keep you from reaching your potential.
- Feeling inadequate.
- Feelings of anger and fear.
What is Choice Coaching?
Our coaching process is about helping people to stop creating their own misery, while helping them take responsibility for their own happiness and success by putting their time and energy into the things they control, rather than the things they don’t. This means leading people away from blame, anger, and resentment and into introspection, acceptance and proactivity. Our process demolishes the victim mentality and empowers clients to reach their goals, while creating the meaningful relationships in their lives that will support and encourage them along the way.
Choice Coaches
- Empower clients for success
- Know how to help their clients become bigger than anything that happens to them.
- Assist clients with taking responsibility for the solutions to their own problems, while helping them learn how to have the greatest positive influence with the important people in their lives.
- Assist their clients to clarify their vision, mission, values and goals.
- Ask more questions, than provide direct answers, with the goal of guiding the client toward options that will maximize the likelihood of goal attainment.
- Work from a position of strength and wellness, as opposed to deficit and pathology.
- Provide just the right balance of support, challenge and accountability.

Books
By Sylvester Baugh
Victory in the Wait describes how important it is to know how to wait and the impact of not waiting correctly. When we wait, we are communicating with God. We are not always waiting to receive from God, sometimes He has us in a season of wait until our will breaks. Effective waiting symbolizes submission, knowing that God is in control. He may have us waiting to develop our Fruit of the Spirit and to revive us. There are times when we might not feel like praying yet, we are needing or desiring something from God.
By Gigi Kilroe
“From Within is a riveting biographical work of one woman’s journey as a sexual abuse survivor, who transitioned from the physical and emotional pain and betrayal to a newly found passion to help others going through similar circumstances.”
