About Us

Embracing Rebirth was created in response to the limits of dominant clinical and therapeutic models that ask what is wrong, rather than who is here.

From this vantage point, Embracing Rebirth welcomes you into shared community, somatic care, spiritual coaching, psychedelic-assisted services, and trauma-informed resources for post-traumatic growth.

Our services support individuals moving through seasons of transition who desire embodied healing beyond fixing, diagnosing, or measuring themselves against others.

We invite a slowing down, within community, that creates space to know yourSelf more fully, and to cultivate compassionate relationships with your body, mind, and spirit. This approach serves to honor your journey and to support your individuation.

Through curiosity, presence, and acceptance, we honor the sacred unraveling that often precedes renewal. We meet you at the threshold of becoming and hold space during moments when old identities, patterns, or ways of relating begin to loosen, allowing something more authentic to emerge.

With over 30 years of combined experience and training across clinical, spiritual, psychedelic, and somatic approaches, our work is grounded in depth, discernment, and compassionate care.

Whether you are seeking healing from trauma, desiring a more authentic way of being, or exploring expanded states of consciousness for post-traumatic growth, Embracing Rebirth is here to help.

For Those Navigating Transition Loss and Life Passages

Embracing Rebirth offers space for those moving through seasons of transition, including loss, grief, relocation, identity shifts, and the many rites of passage that shape a life. Whether changes arrive by choicer circumstance, these thresholds can unsettle the nervous system and call for slowing down, reorienting, and being met with care as you integrate what has ended and what is still becoming. 

For Somatic & Presence-Based Support 

Embracing Rebirth invites you to return to your body’s wisdom without force, agenda, or urgency. Our focus is on cultivating awareness, presence, and compassionate care. Together, we make space for what wants to move, soften, or be witnessed, honoring the body as a living guide and ally in healing.

For Integrating Post-Traumatic Growth

Traumatic experiences can shape us in deep and lasting ways. At Embracing Rebirth, we honor the recovery journey as an unfolding of transformation that deepens self-awareness, expands self-compassion, and awakens inner strength and resilience.

For Those Seeking Depth Beyond Talk Therapy

If traditional talk therapy no longer resonates, or never did, Embracing Rebirth offers a space to explore healing in new ways. Here, depth arises through reflection, honesty, and the willingness to meet what lives beneath familiar patterns and stories. It is not about analyzing or performing, but about listening inward, allowing insight, integration, and renewal to unfold naturally.

For Those Seeking Support That Honors Autonomy

Embracing Rebirth is an inclusive space for those who value depth without intrusion, support without hierarchy, and wholeness without spiritual bypassing. Here, autonomy and authenticity are honored as essential aspects of healing and connection.

For Those Navigating A Spiritual Awakening Or Emergence

Embracing Rebirth is a sanctuary for those moving through spiritual awakening, spiritual emergence, or personal crisis. Here, you are invited to slow down, ground, and listen deeply as you release what no longer serves you or feels true. We honor the unique rhythm of your nervous system and hold space for the transformation unfolding within.


Hi, I’m Iam Jophiel 

LCSW, SEP, CPAT, CCTP-II 

For over three decades, I’ve walked alongside those in transition as a psychotherapist, trauma specialist, somatic practitioner, and spiritual life coach. Across this work, I’ve witnessed how both suffering and healing are essential parts of life and our shared humanity.

Over time, I came to see how even well-intentioned systems can reduce us to symptoms or goals for improvement. In doing so, they often overlook the sacred intelligence within our becoming, the wisdom in our wounds, the medicine in our messiness, and the knowing that resides within our transitions.

Embracing Rebirth emerged from this awareness. It is a sacred space for those standing at the edge of old paradigms, where healing is not about striving, but about softening, shedding, and returning to what is most essential and alive within.

While I continue to serve in traditional therapeutic settings, I am devoted to holding space where healing and transformation can emerge in their own time. Here, I offer presence, reflection, guidance, and companionship for those who are not broken or lost, but tenderly becoming.

Professional Background

Iam Jophiel brings over 30 years of experience across clinical, somatic, and spiritual approaches to healing. She is a licensed psychotherapist with extensive training in trauma treatment, Somatic Experiencing, parts work (inner child), and psychedelic-assisted therapy, and has studied with respected institutions and teachers in these fields.

Her work is also informed by an integrative spiritual foundation shaped by lived experience, ongoing study, and deep trust in an intelligent, creative force that moves through all of life. She understands human beings as having free will while also traveling unique soul paths shaped by a larger, connective field of meaning. Her spiritual orientation honors relationship as a primary teacher, including relationship with mind, body, and spirit, with others, with nature and animals, and with the unseen. Love, presence, and creative agency are central to her understanding of what guides healing, self-understanding, and the ongoing process of becoming.

Alongside Embracing Rebirth, which evolved from Rubie Red Slippers (est. 2020), Iam is also the owner of Balanced Life Counseling & Consulting, an established group practice based in St. Louis, Missouri, serving clients in Missouri, Colorado, and New Mexico.
