Hi, I'm Upeka!
Hi, I'm Upeka!
We swallow a lot.
Feelings. Emotions. Boundaries. Needs. Truths. Our gifts, our songs, our voices.
How many tears have you held in?
How much anger?
How many times have you wanted to say something and swallowed it from fear?
How many moments have you stayed silent, feeling unworthy of taking up space?
I believe it is through swallowing these things that we create blocks within us. Emotions, words, truths that get stuck inside.
The work is to look at these suppressed parts of ourselves. To dare to face them, to hold them, to let them finally move through us. In this we learn to trust the tough processes more and more, to feel safe as we move through deep emotions.
And so we also lessen our need to swallow.
The less we swallow, the more we can show up in our truth, our joy, in alignment.
Work with me
I am a counselor and coach supporting women in moving from swallowing their emotions and truth… to feeling, expressing, and standing steady in who they are.
Is there something alive in you that feels ready for deeper exploration? A block you keep running into? Something you are stuck on? Or something you simply wish to process more deeply?
You come with your intention, and together we explore what lives beneath it. Meeting the parts, emotions, and truths that have been swallowed, and giving them space to move.
We go inward so you can show up outward, with more truth, steadiness, joy, and a bigger yes to life!

Hi! I'm Upeka
For much of my life, I swallowed parts of myself. My emotions, my fears, my needs, my gifts.
My own healing path has been a process of unlearning this pattern of self-suppression. Of facing what I had pushed down. Of acknowledging the truths within me, and daring to express them.
It’s an ongoing work: to move through the waves of life with less pushing down.
Can you relate?
This is a space dedicated to the unswallowing.
I’m here to walk with you as you move toward your truth, your feelings, and your expression.
