Heartfelt testimonials from fellow adoptees
"I always get a boost of energy after your sessions, I feel empowered and inspired for my projects. ❤︎ Sun Mee's tailor made sessions are nurturing and receiving support from a fellow transracial adoptee is incredible and life-changing."
"The care and dedication that goes into creating the space of healing is phenomenal."
“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. It's a part of me that has always lived inside of me, and has always been with me, but I just wasn't able to connect to myself like this before. 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."
"Coming out of the program I feel much more positive and hopeful. I have learned tools and been able to allow myself to prioritize my self-care, and find compassion and love for myself. It’s been truly wonderful to work with Sun Mee, she allows much room to blossom and grow, and show our individual selves in a very supportive setting."
Senior Poeple & Culture manager
"The exchange with you and the group was enormously enriching and I felt safe and seen. With your empathetic nature you created a safe framework in which I was able to to learn more about myself. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful, enriching and inspiring space, dear Sun Mee. "
“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! "

“I felt safe, seen, and "worthy". I've never felt so at peace and lighthearted in my body, and I learned new ways to just "be with" myself without judgment."
I see you and feel you!
As a Korean-German adoptee, adopted at 3.5 years old from Pusan and raised in Germany, I know what it feels like to grow up with a deep sense of disconnection — from your body, your emotions, your roots, and sometimes even from yourself. I know what it’s like to live between identities and to wonder where you truly belong.
For much of my life, I learned to stay safe by adapting. I pusjed my emotions, feared rejection, and became highly attuned to what others needed from me. I shaped myself around expectations, stayed in my head, and tried to be “good” — all while carrying the unspoken grief of separation and the pain of being too much and not enough at the same time.
For years, I tried to heal through understanding alone. I read, reflected, journaled, and did deep inner work. Therapy helped me make sense of my experiences, but I still felt stuck in survival patterns that lived beyond words. The real shift came when I began to include my body in the healing process — through somatic work, mindfulness, creative expression, spiritual practice, and connection with other adoptees.
That journey changed everything. I found more peace, more clarity, and a deeper capacity to belong within myself and with others. I also found the courage to build a life, motherhood, and purpose-led business on my own terms. I stopped living only from adapting and started living from my truth.
This is why I created this work. Because I know how powerful it is when adoptees are given a space to heal that goes beyond talking — a space where the body, grief, identity, and community are all welcome. And in a moment, I’ll show you what that path can look like for you, too.
Imagine that you feel …
✔︎ Safe and understood in your transracial adoptee experience
✔︎ Supported and empowered to belong within
✔︎ At peace with your feelings and inner world
✔︎ Deeply connected with yourself and others
✔︎ Confident and joyful in your adoptee life
✔︎ Fully self-expressed and WHOLE.

We will explore your future self-vision and what parts of yourself you want to shine more light on and share with the world. You will learn how you can set healthy holistic boundaries to ensure you have choice and agency in how you do that.

What Katie found most helpful
“It’s always been hard for me to open up and feel vulnerable in front of other people, but Sun Mee created an environment that felt safe and non-judgmental. I could express myself without feeling judged or rejected.
The structure and step-by-step progress of this program have given me a range of tools and a framework I can now integrate into my daily life. It helps me process many of my emotions and struggles related to adoption.
I felt so safe in our group and our meaningful discussions were so empowering, knowing that I’m not alone.”
