Living a Soul Led Life by Trish Rock

A journey of resilience, love and transformation!

“When you find space for your soul, life flows in magical ways that lead you to where you are meant to be.”

Kim Lorraine Russell’s life is one of extraordinary resilience, spirituality, and deep connection. Known as “Australia’s Soul Therapist,” she has built a legacy through her unique healing practices, combining spiritual guidance, holistic counselling, and energy work. Her story serves as a powerful reminder to reflect, realign, and embrace the new year with open hearts—whether you’re in the northern hemisphere wrapping up winter or the southern hemisphere stepping into summer’s warmth.

From a young age, she felt different and was drawn to the natural world, loved being out in nature sensing the energy and loved attending Sunday school. These early experiences marked the beginning of her spiritual journey.

Raised in a conventional family, Kim Lorraine often felt like an outsider. She began to trust her inner voice, which eventually led her on a path of spiritual discovery and self-healing. This open-hearted connection with the world around her would grow into the profound gift of soul awareness, one that has shaped the course of her life.

At the tender age of nine, her world was shattered by the tragic loss of her father. This traumatic experience would shape her childhood, pushing her to explore deeper spiritual realms to make sense of her grief and loss. She felt a constant pull toward something deeper, trusting her inner voice even when the world around her felt uncertain.

Life’s challenges didn’t stop there. At 18, she lost her boyfriend in a car accident, a devastating event that once again tested her resilience. Yet even in the darkest times, her soul called her to continue.
It was directly after that when motherhood took centre stage in her life.
 

Becoming a mother not only brought her immense joy but also a new dimension to her spiritual practice. She found that nurturing her children was a profound way of healing not only herself, but her children, through her hands and her heart. Her spiritual connection deepened, as did her role as a protector and guide for her growing family.

Her life has been far from easy. From facing the emotional toll of a challenging relationship to the demands of raising six children while navigating a misdiagnosed post-natal condition following the birth of her twins, Kim’s journey has required immense courage. Yet, she speaks of life’s balance—the yin and yang, the light and dark—embracing all aspects as necessary parts of her soul’s growth.

With six children under twelve, she had a moment when she heard the dark side, she then learned not to fear it. The steps that followed led her from the bottomless pit of medication, taking nine months to clear from her body. She drew on her inner strength, spiritual guidance, and holistic practices to free herself from medication, finding a path to freedom and healing for both herself and her children—without money, but with unwavering determination.

Her path as a single mother was a time of deep reflection and inner growth where she drew on the strength of her soul and her spiritual community to survive and thrive. She never wavered from her spiritual path. It wasn’t until she met her second husband that she fully understood what love truly was.

By 1988, Kim Lorraine was 30 and started her energy work, a practice that would define her future and help countless others. Reiki became a cornerstone of her healing journey, diving deep into energy work and channelling spiritual energy to help others.

Using every spare moment to continue her energy work and connect with her higher self, Kim Lorraine would often attend spiritual gatherings where she would learn new healing methods, access inner gifts and connect with likeminded people. “I didn’t know what love ‘wasn’t’ until I left my first husband,” she reflects, and knows this is the case for many people. Her second husband, a gentle and supportive partner, has been a gem in her life, providing her with the emotional stability and the support she needed to continue her life’s work.

With the birth of her seventh child, she once again began to write and sing songs, a passion she has always had, and further enhanced through her previous work as a radio host of the former Moon Angel & Munchkins Programs.

Through all of this, her connection with the spirit world and soul deepened, and began to hear what she now calls her claircognizant channel, an intuitive ability to hear, know and receive guidance from God. This gift led her to places and people without explanation, including individuals struggling with life.

When asked the question, ‘What is the language of spirit to you?’ Kim Lorraine replies, “God guides me everywhere through soul, people, feelings and my intuitive prompts and I have learned to follow, listen and trust”.

Kim Lorraine’s journey has always been one of transformation, both for herself and for those she helps. Through her own experiences of loss and grief, she has developed an incredible capacity to empathise with others and offer them the healing they need through her unique services.

Her immense empathy for others, and the nudge from spirit, was part of the calling to open a healing centre at the South Coast of NSW Australia in July 2024. The Mind, Body Soul centre offers meditation, reiki, crystal therapy, soul therapy and mindfulness along with being a place where people come for healing, guidance, and community. It’s a high-frequency sanctuary where people can raise their vibration, learn to follow their soul, and connect with their higher selves.

Over the years, Kim Lorraine has run meditation programs on community radio, read children’s stories to preschoolers, and conducted healing prayer groups. She began deepening her understanding of her gift of mediumship, exploring its potential and training under mentor Florence King. Her title of Australia’s Soul Therapist reflects the profound work she does to help individuals heal on a soul level.

Inspired by the loss of her aunt and the birth of her twins, Kim Lorraine began writing stories that would later become part of her spiritual teachings. And she’s currently preparing to launch her ‘Moon Angel Cards’, as well as other spiritual tools for children and adults to help them connect with their inner wisdom and guidance; a project that has been 15 years in the making.

One of the most powerful lessons she has learned on her journey is the importance of forgiveness. She says this quote from the Bible helped her immensely: “Forgive those who know not what they do,” embodying a grace and compassion that can only come from a life lived in alignment with spirit.

This, combined with the strength she learned from her mother through her cancer journey, and seven years of grieving her loss, has been a testament to the power of love, for her children, community, and herself. She has faced immense challenges, but through it all, she has remained steadfast in her commitment to healing and helping others. With seven children, four grandchildren and five grand fur babies now, her story is not just one of survival but of thriving in the face of adversity.

Today, Kim Lorraine remains dedicated to teaching, healing, and inspiring others through her workshops, counselling sessions, and spiritual guidance. A true beacon of light, she is often referred to as the bridge between the spiritual void and the light, guiding others and reminding them that there is always a way forward—a path to keep love alive and authentic.
