LumaRise is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization born from a deep understanding of how trauma and adversity can silence us. Our founder, Kimi Hadzima, walked a long road of healing through her own life experiences. Through storytelling, Kimi discovered a powerful truth: when we give voice to our stories in a safe, compassionate space, healing begins.
LumaRise exists to provide that space — a place where anyone can share their story, be heard, and find hope through connection with others. We honor each voice and believe that no story is too small to matter.
You are not alone!
MISSION STATEMENT
LumaRise is actively bridging the gap in today’s mental-health crisis by creating safe spaces for healing and connection. Through an integrated, three-strand approach that addresses emotional, psychological, and spiritual needs, we illuminate a path toward hope and restoration for all.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health,
OVER 59 MILLION ADULTS
in the U.S. experience mental-health challenges
each year.
Over half struggle to find the help they need!
VISION STATEMENT
LumaRise envisions a future where the mental health industry stands united within one central hub—the LumaRise Healing Refuge. This one-stop sanctuary will bring together emotional, psychological, and spiritual care, offering a compassionate, collaborative space where professionals, organizations, and individuals connect to make healing accessible for everyone.
Our Approach
At the heart of LumaRise is a simple, compassionate framework called the Human Experiential Transformation (HET) ModelTM. This model reflects how people naturally grow through emotional, cognitive, and spiritual layers of healing. It guides everything we build and helps us offer support that is steady, gentle, and grounded in lived experience.
