June "Jumakae" Kaewsith

June Marisa Kaewsith, also known as "Jumakae," is a wellness consultant, storytelling guide, and life doula. After spending her twenties as an artist and community organizer, she began craving an alternative narrative to healing and justice beyond the history of colonialism and trauma. Curiosity led her back to Thailand, where she studied with a traditional midwife to learn the birthing ways of her ancestral lineageand realized the importance of treating life as an everyday ceremony that is worth celebrating until our last breath. Thus sparked her calling to assist others in remembering their purpose on this planet, while reflecting on the legacy they’re here to leave behind when they, too, become an ancestor.

As a life doula, June currently curates local and international retreats for women, people of color, and the LGBTQ+ community who are seeking clarity in their message and confidence in their speaking so that they can share their story, reclaim the wisdom of their body, and reconnect with their ancestors. With her passion for the arts and somatic healing, she holds mindfulness and storytelling workshops for organizations and individuals to strengthen team relationships and wellness culture from a social justice and trauma-informed lens.

Her rituals include meditating with a green smoothie in the morning and practicing exotic floor work while eating plantain chips in the evening. June loves embodying the complexities of life and spirituality, and invites others to do the same.
