“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 can't thank you enough for our work together. I needed to prioritise my wellbeing...I've always put other people first. Adoption has impacted my life in so many ways, and I wasn't aware of how much this holistic approach helps me find back to myself... to my body, soul, and I have a much better relationship with my mind. I feel unblocked and empowered to show myself and my gifts."

Why I offer this this support:

Hey dear!
I’m Sun Mee, and I felt alone, fragmented, and not seen in my transracial adoptee experience.
I've dived into many modalities, and have created a unique 3-part framework that has not only helped me, but many fellow adoptees to find belonging internally AND externally!

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 when I started to integrate mindfulness, trauma-sensitive somatic (body-based) exercisesjournallingcreative expression, and compassionate inquiry into my daily routine.

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 my 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 partner and selected circle of friends.

I truly believe that a peaceful and  fulfilled life is possible for YOU too, if you 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!

Are you curious how?

 

You are enough.
You are worthy of love and belonging!

FAQs

In short: Any transformation that you allow and desire! That being said, the journey requires you to be intentional and open to learning and integrate the learnings into your daily life. Transformation doesn’t happen overnight, so patience and compassion with yourself is required. If you commit to collaborate on this journey, I promise to be 200% next to you, help you in difficult moments, and guide you to your inner wisdom with the tools and framework that have helped many other adoptees to find back home to themselves. Together we will increase your capacity to hold space for complex emotions from a place of care and love.

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! 

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

We will define a weekly or bi-weekly date together (which will result in a 3-month or 6-month journey) I will try my best to accommodate a time that works best for you. If weekdays don’t work work for you, we can find a time on Saturdays. 

You can reschedule a session within a minimum of 24hrs of notice with my calendar synched tool.
