Some heartfelt reviews FROM fellow adoptees
“Sun Mee has made a huge impact on my life.
I loved her careful & thoughtful approach to our 1:1 sessions. She introduced me to various somatic modalities that have been crucial to releasing trauma and understanding the mind-body connection. A positive shift has taken place within myself. It’s been transformative and liberating indeed.”
"I haven’t seen any holistic approach or program like this and I didn’t know before that I actually needed that.
Coming out of it I feel much more positive and hopeful. I have learned tools and been able to allow myself to prioritise my self care, and find compassion and love for myself."
"The care and dedication that goes into creating the space of healing is phenomenal.
"I always get a boost of energy after the sessions, I feel empwered and inspired for my projects ❤︎ Sun Mee's tailor made private sessions are nurturing and receiving support from a fellow transracial adoptee is incredible and life-changing."
“Sun Mee is very skilled at bringing the group together in a short time and creating a safe space to share. Her style is one that allows people to share as much as they feel comfortable and understanding that everyone is at different points in their respective journeys. Keep up the fantastic work! "
"Sun Mee does a great job creating a safe space for adoptees and constructs meaningful conversations that help us in our jourenys. Thank you for the space. 💙
"Spaces like this are still new to me, so to be able to exist together and focus on turning inward, with the guidance from Sun Mee, felt revelatory. I was able to connect with my soul and spirit in a way that I'm not sure I ever have before, and it allowed me to see a part of myself that transcends the physical body and identity labels. I'm so glad I worked with Sun Mee, because I truly feel that this is a whole other element to my journey that I had not unlocked yet."
“The whole time I felt like I was in a safe space. You did so great! It was an important message for me that I can truly belong to myself. "
"This session with Sun Mee was so helpful in allowing myself to take some time and space to be with myself. I don't often make intentional time for somatics and thinking about my own wellbeing, so this was an impactful space to be able to do some of that. Sun Mee's gentle, calming, and holistic presence helps to create a welcoming and warm environment to connect with myself."
"Sun Mee is warm, kind, and knowledgeable. She is able to share information, tools, and resources in a variety of ways so folks can take what works for them. Her gentleness and empathy creates a special space for adoptee healing."
"Sun Mee's care and the amount of attention she gives to the program and to us as individuals is unique and very authentic.You actually pay attention to my needs and what I’m searching for in working together. The whole pace of the program is very gentle and build with compassion. There is no rush but it is planned out in a way that I learned everything I needed."
"SunMee offers a safe space led with compassion, comfort & connection. There is time to share, to ground & to reflect. It is so healing to share this space with other TRA’s. I walk away feeling a felt sense of connection to myself & to my community. Which is such a gift!"
Give Yourself Permission to Feel
A virtual training for BIPOC adoptees ready to stop pushing through and come home to their emotions.
As a Korean adopte with an upbringing in Germany, I know what it feels like to live in the in-between—to search for home, identity, and belonging outside of yourself.
At 18, I looked in the mirror and began asking deeper questions: Who am I? Where do I belong? And what parts of me did I abandon in order to feel safe? Coming out of the fog and waking up to the trauma of separation from my origin made me realize how disconnected I had been from my inner world, my emotions, and my authentic self.
For years, I searched for healing through books, self-help, and various spiritual and movement practices. Therapy supported me, but I still felt stuck in my mind. It was through mindfulness, trauma-sensitive somatic practices, journaling, creative expression, and compassionate inquiry that I began to experience real shifts in my emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing.
Connecting with fellow adoptees changed everything. Being seen, validated, and understood in my adoptee experience helped me heal in ways I could not have reached alone. Through local and global adoptee communities, I found deeper self-understanding, connection, and belonging.
That journey led me to expand my training in mindfulness, mind-body modalities, and Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy, and to found NUMARU—a holistic healing space and supportive community for BIPOC+TRansracial adoptees.
Today, I support adoptees through a multidisciplinary approach that blends somatic experiencing, mindfulness, creative self-exploration, and honest community connection. I also collaborate internationally with NGOs, Korean associations, and fellow adoptee space holders.
NUMARU is the space I once needed myself—grounded, empowering, and made to help adoptees feel more whole, connected, and at home within themselves.
