“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."

Hey dear!
I’m Sun Mee, and I felt alone, fragmented, and not seen in my transracial adoptee experience.
I've dived into many healing modalities, and have created a unique 3~part process that has helped me and fellow adoptees to make peace with our stories and confidently belong!
It all starts with creating intentional space for YOU and saying YES TO YOUR ADOPTEE SELF and HEALING.
As a Korean-German Adoptee, I struggled to navigate the in-between spaces of our identities and what Belonging means to me. I was 18 years old when I looked into the mirror and started to question the person I was confronted with. Since then, I have been awakening to my own color, inner world, and trauma of separation from my origin. Who am I, and who do I actually want to be/come? — I had been in denial of how much my adoptee self was limiting my authentic expression.
COMING OUT OF THE FOG and the subconscious trauma of separation made me realize how out of touch I was with my inner world and authentic self. After years of trying to do the work alone, reading books on identity and adoption, and practicing a lot of Self Care, I had to be real with myself—I needed PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT. Cognitive therapy was helpful, but I still felt trapped in my busy mind and limiting beliefs. I started to see significant shifts in my mental, physical, and emotional health when I learned the language of my body and soul. I started to integrate mindfulness, trauma-sensitive somatic (body-based) exercises, journalling, spiritual practices, creative expression, and compassionate inquiry into my life.
CONNECTING WITH FELLOW ADOPTEES made me realize that I’m not alone, and that I can learn so much about myself through other adoptees’ perspectives. Being validated, heard, and seen in my adoptee experience changed my self-understanding and allowed me to grow and transform with results I wouldn’t have achieved on my own.
WHEN I LIBERATED MYSELF from cultural norms, my family’s and societal expectations, I explored multiple other facets that have shaped who I am. I am more than my adoptee self! I started having a more connected and loving relationship with myself—my mind, body, and I also discovered the power of my spirit and soul.
My SELF-DISCOVERY JOURNEY allowed me to connect to my authentic expression, process my emotional complexity, release identity shame and find inner peace. I turned my struggles into strengths and into an opportunity to learn and grow—to show up in life as my true and core self.
TODAY I live a fulfilled life on my terms being my own boss, thriving in my purpose and work with adoptees, and having a loving and respectful relationship with my family, partner, and selected circle of friends.
I truly believe that a peaceful and fulfilled life is possible for YOU too, if we say YES to OURSELVES!
My mission is to support you in taking your next step and create a safe space for YOU!
I offer a trauma-sensitive and holistic pathway to liberate your adoptee self and confidently belong!

What Katie found most helpful about this program
“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.”

This has always worked out well in the past, and many adoptees have become friends and are still in touch after the NUMARU group program.
Integration is an integral part of the healing journey. This Integration Workbook allows you to make sense of your insights from the session. It includes a description of each Somatic/Mindful/Creative practice that I will guide you through in our session along with some individualized prompts. So, you will walk away with a documentation of your learnings and a compilation of all practices, which will help you to remember and apply to your daily life—even after the journey together!
