"Breathing in, I see all my ancestors in me: my mineral ancestors, plant ancestors, mammal ancestors, and human ancestors. My ancestors are always present, alive in every cell of my body, and I play a part in their immortality."

-Thich Nhat Hanh, The Art of Living

About The Founder:

June Marisa Kaewsith, also known as "Jumakae," is a wellness consultant, storytelling guide, and “life doula” supporting people through speaking, workshops, ritual and ceremony. After spending over a decade as an artist and community organizer, she began craving an alternative narrative to healing and justice beyond the history of colonialism and trauma. Curiosity led her back to Thailand, where she studied with a traditional midwife to learn the birthing ways of her ancestral lineage - and realized the importance of treating life as an everyday ceremony that is worth celebrating until our last breath. Thus sparked her calling to assist others in remembering their purpose on this planet, while reflecting on the legacy they’re here to leave behind when they, too, become an ancestor.

As a life doula, June currently curates local and international wellness retreats for women and gender expansive folks who are seeking clarity in their next steps and confidence in their speaking so that they can share their story, reclaim the wisdom of their body, and reconnect with their ancestors.

Her coaching clients include executive leaders, nonprofit workers, healers, and entrepreneurs of color that are moving through life transitions while rediscovering what their medicine is.

With her passion for the arts and somatic healing, she holds mindfulness and storytelling workshops for organizations and individuals to strengthen team relationships and wellness culture from a social justice and trauma-informed lens.
