LIBERATE YOUR ADOPTEE SELF

A virtual group journey to inner belonging for BIPOC and transracial adoptees

Next intimate cohort: September / October 2026
Live online · Small group · Limited places

Hey dear!

Does any of this sound like you?

Do you keep your adoption story ready, braced for the intrusive questions that follow?

Do you replay conversations for days, searching for what you said wrong, or whether you were too much?

Do you overperform and stay endlessly useful, because slowing down brings up the fear that you’re not enough?

Do you swallow your anger about adoption because you’re afraid of being seen as bitter or ungrateful?

Do you push the grief down, afraid that once you let it in, it won’t stop?

Do you feel alone in your adoptee experience, even around people who deeply love you?

You’ve looked at your adoption story.

You can explain it clearly to a therapist, to a friend, to

yourself.

Your body just hasn’t gotten the deeper insight yet.

This journey is for you, if:

~ you’ve done the talking, and you’re ready to work with your feeling body

~ you want to feel your grief and your anger without drowning in them

~ you want to say what you need without the apology in front of it

~ you want to be in a room where you don’t have to explain being a BIPOC adoptee

~ you’re willing to be radically safe and soft with yourself–this isn’t about pushing through.

Life-changing results

FROM STUCK TO CLEAR

"Coming out of it, I feel much more clear in who I am and where I’m going in life. I’m prepared to live in alignment with my true values, making choices in my life, relationships, career, and day-to-day that I know are right for me.“

FROM INSECURE TO CONFIDENT

"This group journey has helped me create a safe space within myself. Now, I can harness my inner power and knowing and translate and manifest what I want for myself in this life."

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.

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.

What Jodi wants to tell fellow adoptees who are hesitant to take this step!

ROSLIN, adopted from Mexico

“Sun Mee’s course is life-changing. The somatic practices and learning to move through my emotions without staying stuck were the missing pieces in all the healing work I had done already. I feel like a new person; I have so much more clarity about who I am and where I’m going in life.”

"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."

“Sun Mee has made a huge impact on my life. 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. Liberating, indeed!”

"The exchange with you 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's care and the amount of attention she gives to the program and to us as individuals is unique and very authentic. The whole pace of the program is very gentle and build with compassion, but it is planned out in a way that I learned everything I needed."

ANNI, adopted from Korea

"I would definetly recommend working with Sun Mee.

I have tried out a lot of healing tools and techniques, but I haven't come someone liek Sun Mee with such level of authenticity and care that she brings into this work."

FAQs

Who is this group journey for?

This journey is for transracial/BIPOC adoptees who have already done some inner work and know that more talking alone is not the answer.
You may understand your patterns intellectually, yet still find yourself stuck in people-pleasing, overthinking, emotional overwhelm, shutdown, or disconnection from your body.

This space supports you in moving:

from survival patterns into self-trust and authentic expression
from overtalking into embodied feeling and emotional processing
from inner disconnection into belonging, wholeness, and safety within
from self-pressure and avoidance into radical softness with your emotions
from overwhelm into greater regulation, grounding, and presence
from guilt-filled boundary setting into clear, honest self-expression
from overriding your body into trusting its wisdom
from performing or over-explaining into being fully yourself in connection

The result is not just more insight, but more peace, truth, and freedom in how you live and relate.

Who else will join this group journey?

Fellow transcultural, international, BIPOC adoptee sisters from Europe and the US.

I will interview all interested participants to ensure the right energies come together. It’s important to me that everyone feels safe and seen, and that we co-create a safe container of care!

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.

Do I need to have done inner work before joining?

Yes. Liberate is for adoptees who have already done some healing work and are ready for a deeper, more embodied approach.

Is this group for me if I’ve mostly done talk therapy?

Yes — especially if you feel talk therapy has helped, but reached a limit and you are longing for a more holistic and embodied next step.

What if I'm not ready to open up or be vulnerable?

That makes total sense, if you’ve spent years protecting yourself.

Creating safety is my number one goal . Every cohort so far has felt it, and we co-create safety from the very beginning. This container moves at your pace. Vulnerability here isn’t a requirement — it’s an option that becomes more available as your system starts to feel safe. You’ll never be asked to go further than you’re ready for.

If the idea of this makes you nervous and curious at the same time, that’s worth paying attention to. 🙂

What if I’m new to somatics — can I still join?

Yes. You do not need prior somatic experience to join. Liberate is open to adoptees who are curious, willing to learn, and ready to explore a more embodied approach to healing.

Do I need to be comfortable in group spaces already?

Not necessarily. You can feel some fear or hesitation — what matters most is your openness to being in community.

When will the course and sessions take place?

Our spring cohort starts May 16.

You have the option to join the Saturday OR weekday cohort, we will define a weekday that works for everyone.

Sessions will last ca. 90min and be held on Zoom.

Sessions will only be recorded if someone can’t make it to a live call.

Do I need to attend live?

Live is encouraged, as the group journey is built around shared presence and connection. Recordings are only provided if someone cannot attend a live call.

If live participation is not possible for you, you can also choose the self-study course only.

What is the investment and are there flexible payment options?

This is a premium, small-group experience designed to offer deep, trauma-sensitive support in an intimate setting. Flexible payment plans are available, starting at €275/month. I offer one supported spot for someone who feels a strong alignment but needs financial flexibility—you’re welcome to book a Courage Call to explore this together.

What is the NUMARU Community offer about

This offer gives you access to the NUMARU HEART SPACE APP, adoptee resources, and special events.

Join our international community of like-minded BIPoC/transracial adoptees in an add-free and safe platform and app. Read more here.

What is the Integration Workbook about?

Integration is an integral part of the healing journey. The weekly Integration Workbooks allow you to make sense of your insights from the session.

Previous clients/adoptees loved this integration workbook, which has helped them integrate all insights and create lasting change.

Who is this group journey NOT for?

This space may NOT be the right fit if you:

are looking for quick fixes or surface-level tools without deeper exploration
prefer purely cognitive approaches without engaging the feeling body
are not open to reflecting on your emotional patterns and experiences
don’t currently have the capacity to commit to 8 weekly sessions and gentle integration

How do you decide who is a good fit?

Through the application and readiness call, I look at openness, capacity, group fit by my guiding community values of trust, honesty, empathy, and commitment.

I have another question, how can I contact you?
