"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
