Hi, I’m Bokie!
I’m a licensed clinician of 9 years and discovered my gifts for healing through deep listening with myself, people, ancestors, nature, and the universe. That makes me a nerd for crafting healing spaces that transform personal, ancestral, and collective trauma.
I live to be sovereign and feel liberated no matter. I love belly laughs, fermenting, herbalism, martial arts, drumming, and dancing.
I love community that is expansive, dependable, healing, and responsive to the needs of the world. I resonate deeply with spiritual survivors, change makers, and lovers of life.
My lived experience as a neurodivergent cPTSD survivor, descendant of my Korean ancestors, and social worker informs my dream for freedom and my capacity to be deeply present for people’s pain.
I’m clear we have to tend to our pain to transform the conditions we collectively live in.
