What Does Khemura Mean?
Khemura was divined from the ancient Egyptian word khem meaning Black, my family name. The word Khemetic is derived from the ancient Egyptian word Kemet, which means "black land" and was used to refer to the fertile soil along the Nile River. I channel the ancestral energy of the nutrient rich Earth in my practice that fosters increased solidarity with indigenous communities around the world.
My journey into the feminist, holistic, esoteric approaches to psychotherapy and hypnotherapy was deeply influenced by my own path of healing from trauma. I recognize the profound impact of colonization on our mental and emotional well-being. Therefore, I focus on bridging the disconnect between body, mind, and spirit, as well as the relationship between land and people. My work revolves around whole-person integration while fostering a coherent connection with both the human, natural, and Spirit worlds that aids in our collective recovery from the violence of colonization and contributes to collective healing.
A significant aspect of my practice involves identifying and addressing internalized racism within communities of color. Together with my clients, whom I refer to as healers, we explore how white supremacy has shaped their familial, religious, and cultural experiences. I offer alternative paths to honor one's culture while healing from intergenerational trauma and oppression. By reducing shame through compassion and empathy, we create space for radical honesty and imagine new possibilities for affirming environments and relationships.
I am dedicated to providing a safe space for the affirmation, celebration, and empowerment of authentic expressions of gender, sexuality, and spirituality. My commitment to ongoing personal healing, spiritual development, and the process of decolonization enhances my ability to be present and engaged with my clients.
Nature is a source of vitality for me, and I believe in the transformative power of developing an embodied relationship with the natural world. In working with clients to deepen their connection to the land, elements, and Spirit, we often explore ancestral and inherited relationships to the land. This exploration creates space for the release of ancestral grief and intergenerational trauma.
