"a huntress with an artists soul"

Emma LaBarbera

Emma LaBarbera is a New York native currently residing in Roma, Italia. She is an Italian-American Psychology graduate with a passion for self-expression, personal transformation, and human relationships. She explores these facets through her art, writing, and her podcast.

A lot of my personal work is the art of unraveling all that I've picked up on that takes me farther away from myself -- that severs my relationship and love for myself. Thus, for others.

 

Along the way, many different parts within come up to the surface. Parts and pieces of me that I have learned to hide, to look away from, and to shame.

The most powerful personal work I have done, has been to peel away this idea that anything I'm experiencing internally is "wrong", or makes me "bad".

​

My hope and passion is to help others relate to themselves with kindness, acceptance for what is there, clarity that inspires informed and aligned action, and with unconditional love and respect.

​

​

A deeply transformational awakening in 2018, sent me through a whirlwind of exploring my inner world and feeling what in the external world fits for me.

​

I have studied and embodied a lot of different spiritual systems; such as, Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki, Yoga, developmental Psychology, Non-duality, Tai Chi, Somatic Experiencing, shadow work, Human Design, the Tarot, and more indescript pieces along the way.

​

I stuck myself in places where the Earth could swallow me whole ~ in my hammock amongst my University's swampy trees and valleys, working in my University's organic garden, on a farm in Portugal, in my own backyard, and in the Redwood trees with strangers that turned to family.

​

My own experiences have filled my heart with enough to guide me towards the convergence of psychology, spirituality, and ecology to inform how I understand myself, the greater world, and how I can help others see through their own unique lens, by coming back to themselves.

​

I hope to help myself, others, and the greater world with my own experiential studies and the wisdom I acquire through living.

​

Thank you for being here, and seeking a certain type of wholeness within, too.

​

Love, Emma

a love note

I will continue to expand and contract

to hold on and let go

I will continue to transfer love 

and trigger pain

​

I will accept my imperfections

​

I will honor the primal nature within that connects me to

generations and stories more vast than I will ever know

 

I will listen to the communication between my senses

and my sturdy inner knowing

​

 I will spend time with the stillness
