Please take care as you watch.
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 exists to bridge the mental health gap by connecting individuals to the support, resources, and relationships they need to heal. Through the Emotional, Cognitive, and Spiritual Pillars, we create opportunities for healing, growth, and lasting restoration.
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 individuals, clinicians, organizations, and community resources are united through the LumaRise Healing Refuge, a Behavioral Health Access and Support Infrastructure. By integrating emotional, cognitive, and spiritual support, this compassionate, collaborative platform will reduce barriers to care, strengthen connections to resources, and make healing more accessible for everyone.
Our Approach
At the heart of LumaRise is a simple, compassionate framework called the Human Experiential Transformation (HET) Model©. 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.
