What People Are Saying


I have had the blessing of working with Kim for years. Our paths have crossed as Military Life Consultants and colleagues. Primarily Kim has been a mentor for me in the professional arena as a clinician and the personal arena as a mother of sons. I have taken her coaching certification course, mental freedom course and connected her to the Army Reserve for Diversity Training. She is a wealth of knowledge and a great example of living in Mental Freedom! I have used Choice Theory and Reality Therapy for years in my private practice. Now with the Mental Freedom coaching this is the bow that ties it all together. I'm excited to bring this dynamic to my clients. Looking forward to continued collaboration with this wonderful human.

What do you do when you don’t know what to do? Without an answer to that question, you might be left in a position of suffering, fear, sadness or just feeling stuck. Yet all of these emotions are in your head. That is where the solution resides! Kim Olver has developed an approach called “Mental Freedom” that results in valuable insight needed for personal growth and development. It all comes down to having someone to turn to who can help you use powerful resources you already have but are hidden from your conscious awareness.
