KIM SERAFINI, THE DYNAMIC ENTREPRENEUR BEHIND POSITIVE PRIME, HAS A STORY THAT INTERTWINES CORPORATE SUCCESS, PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION AND A DEEP COMMITMENT TO HUMAN HEALING.
From her early career in corporate change management to her innovative work in neuroscience and positive psychology, Kim Serafini’s journey is driven by a desire to help people unlock the power of their minds and emotions.
A graduate of Bond University, Kim launched her career in corporate change management. “I spent the early part of my life taking tens of thousands of people in one organisation and helping them work together under a new umbrella,” she recalls. Kim worked on mergers and acquisitions from London to New York, navigating the turbulence of integrating large companies.
FROM BURNOUT TO BREAKTHROUGH
The pressures of business life eventually caught up with Kim, leading to a turning point during a near-death experience while driving. “My heartbeat had stopped. I lost consciousness and drove off the road. Then my heart started again after the pause. I should have died,” she shares.
The incident was the first of six more. It forced her to confront the toll of her stressful twists and turns and intense work ethic. “Why did I need to go unconscious to know my spirit continues?” she reflects. This moment set her on a new path toward a more spiritual and fulfilling life.
Seeking a fresh direction, Kim revisited the wisdom shared at the Tony Robbins’ life mastery events she attended decades before, which inspired her to follow her passion. “If you really want to feel fulfilled, you need to do something you’re passionate about,” Robbins advised. Those words propelled Kim’s shift from her business world’s high-risk and rewards aspects to wellness innovation.
Kim created Lithos Therapy, a globally recognised treatment. “I invented what is now known as Hot Stone Massage, using heated black marble and chilled white marble at exactly 53 degrees,” she explains. Her technique transformed massage therapy, blending ancient wisdom with modern science to accelerate healing.
THE STONE OF ANGEL WINGS
A pivotal part of Kim’s spiritual journey is her connection to Seraphinite, a stone mined in eastern Siberia, known as the stone of angel wings. Seraphinite is particularly attuned to the Heart Chakra and is known to nurture the heart, facilitate personal growth and encourage exploration of higher states of consciousness. She wears a ring made from Seraphinite to symbolise healing, not just for herself but for those around her.
Kim’s deepening spirituality led her to explore emotions and the mind’s role in health. In her experience, “People who didn’t heal usually had some strife in their mind.” This insight launched her journey into positive psychology and neuroscience.
FLOW STATE IN THREE MINUTES
Her research culminated in the development of Positive Prime, a revolutionary tool combining images, affirmations, and neuroscience to ‘prime’ the mind for positivity. “Positive Prime has been proven to put your brain into a state of flow within three minutes,” she explains. This flow state, lasting up to six hours, can enhance mood and mental clarity.
Kim’s partnership with the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) resulted in breakthrough findings presented at the prestigious Society for Neuroscience in San Diego. “Nothing has ever been proven before to change your brain waves within three minutes,” she says proudly.
But the journey wasn’t easy. “It took a lot of courage to go down that research path. If we publish something that says it doesn’t work, I will probably not have a business,” Kim admits. Despite the risks, the research validated Positive Prime’s lifechanging potential.
Positive Prime’s formula blends scientifically chosen images, such as smiles and green tree canopies, to prompt the production of serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin. “Your brain automatically thinks you’re smiling, and you start to produce more happy hormones,” Kim explains.
Her dedication to healing extends beyond neuroscience. “I've made millions of dollars, and I really am a tech entrepreneur, but I’m just a spiritual being who wants to heal people,” she reflects. This personal mission fuels her commitment to helping others experience profound transformation.
Her work also aligns with epigenetics, the study of how environments affect gene expression. “Positive Prime changes the global or macro environment for your brain, which then changes your mind,” she explains. Kim believes that by shaping our mental environment, we can improve psychological and physical health.
Kim’s journey from the corporate world to brain science and healing demonstrates her unwavering dedication to helping people live fuller, more meaningful lives. “When people feel better, they behave differently, and we get better societal outcomes,” she explains.
As she continues to refine Positive Prime and explore new scientific frontiers, Kim remains at the forefront of positive psychology and brain health. Her innovative work transforms lives, proving that with the right tools, we can unlock the power of our minds to achieve greater happiness and success.
“WHEN PEOPLE FEEL BETTER, THEY BEHAVE DIFFERENTLY AND WE GET BETTER SOCIETAL OUTCOMES.”
