Kim Sheridan

Kim Sheridan grew up in Southern California, surrounded by animals of various shapes and sizes, and she fell in love with rats before society had a chance to tell her not to. She also had psychic abilities she didn’t fully understand, and from a very early age, she was fascinated with paranormal phenomena and the afterlife. While other children were out playing games, Kim was often found dividing her time between nurturing animals in her care, and looking for evidence of life after death. She attempted to capture ghosts on film and tape, and she entertained family members with various other attempts at contacting the Other Side. At the time, it never occurred to her to include animals in her search for life after death.

As an adult, Kim’s life changed direction. First, she earned degrees in Psychology and Clinical Hypnotherapy. Then, she studied health and nutrition; earned a degree in Naturopathy; and became a respected health writer, researcher, and nutritional consultant. She co-authored the book, Uncooking with Jameth and Kim, and co-founded HealthForce Nutritionals, Inc., which offers nutritional supplements worldwide for both humans and animals.

Kim never outgrew her childhood interests, however. Her spare time was spent exploring the spiritual path, as well as volunteering for various organizations on behalf of animals. Being a devoted animal lover, she also operated a dog walking and animal companion-sitting service, and she began welcoming rescued rats into her home (which has become known as the Rat Refuge and provides sanctuary for a multitude of very happy rescued rats).

While grieving the loss of a beloved animal companion, Kim unexpectedly began to receive signs and messages from the Other Side. This led her on an incredible journey into the realm of animals and the afterlife, bringing her full circle to the path begun in childhood. Then, after the tragic death of a close friend, Kim realized that she was to blend her research on the afterlife of animals with that of humans, thereby showing that it’s all the same afterlife.

Her journey to uncover the truth about the afterlife resulted in Kim writing the award winning book, Animals and the Afterlife: True Stories of Our Best Friends’ Journey Beyond Death. Her side-by-side comparisons of after-death phenomena of both humans and animals demonstrate that the evidence is the same. In Kim’s words: “If there’s an afterlife for humans, there’s an afterlife for animals, because the evidence is identical. And based on the evidence, I can say with conviction that there’s most definitely an afterlife.”

Along with her own experiences, Animals and the Afterlife is a compilation of the extraordinary after-death communication experiences of ordinary people from around the world. Kim’s book offers comfort and reassurance to anyone who has ever cherished an animal, and food for thought for anyone who has ever questioned the place of these beloved creatures in the larger scheme of things. Kim is now working on a television series and feature-length film project based on Animals and the Afterlife, and Book 2 is contracted for a future date.

Today Kim Sheridan is a highly respected and sought after expert on life after death for humans and animals alike, and much of her time is devoted to the care of elderly animals making their transition to spirit. In addition to being an award-winning author, Kim is a filmmaker, lecturer, and workshop leader. She is a popular guest on radio and television, and her expertise includes animals, health, and the environment. Kim is the founder of EnLighthouse Entertainment, Compassion Circle, Healthy Chick®, Healthy Hunk™, and Go Green Already!™ -- all of which hold true to Kim’s values to raise awareness, teach compassion, and respect the Earth and all living beings. She has been listed in Who’s Who in Executives and Professionals, 2,000 Notable American Women, and Great Minds of the 21st Century.

Kim's presentation: Animals and the Afterlife

This topic has been Kim Sheridan’s lifelong passion, and she has made it her personal quest to find answers. Kim grew up with animals as her constant companions. Each time she faced the death of a beloved animal, along with the pain came the same questions, to which she could find no answers. Then, mysterious things began to happen which she could not explain.

Unable to dismiss these mysterious events, Kim embarked upon what became an incredible journey to uncover the truth. She discovered overwhelming evidence that forever erased her own doubts of an afterlife for animals, and connected with others who shared beautiful experiences and evidence. She will share her personal journey and the evidence she uncovered during a rather systematic examination of afterlife communication and other extraordinary phenomena in her presentation.

This Animals and the Afterlife presentation will offer objective observations and personal accounts of very profound experiences and emotions linked to after death communication and touch on the many different forms this contact with the other side can take. Kim has a wealth of experiences to share - from dreams and signs to heartwarming synchronicities and personal animal communications. Kim’s conclusions do not endorse any particular religion, offer something that resonates with everyone, and offer immense comfort and reassurance to anyone who has ever cherished an animal.

Kim will discuss the love that binds together individuals of different species, the grief humans and animals experience when a loved one transitions to spirit, tools to help process this grief process, and the place of all animals in the larger scheme of things, both here on earth and beyond.

Kim’s words might change your perception of death or lead you on an incredible journey of your own! Hers was a journey from open-minded child to grieving skeptic, and ultimately, to comforted believer. Now, she invites you to join her on this journey.
