Wholistic Healer Spotlight:
Amelia Sun Langkusch
Amelia Sun Langkusch is an intercountry adoptee born in Iksan, South Korea, and raised as an only child in Laguna Beach, California.
In 2018, she reunited with my birth mother and half brother during her first trip back home to South Korea. Following her birth family reunion, she began creating large studio artwork to process her adoption experiences, and was inspired to create a safe, therapeutic sanctuary, a healing home designed to hold adoptees through the deep healing process.
Morning Calm Healing Home is a spiritual sanctuary and therapeutic art house designed to support integrative therapies, holistic chakra alignment, and international retreats for Korean adoptees, all adopted people, and all who seek wellness and wholeness.
In February 2024, Amelia began hand pouring small batches of soy wax candles to spread the powerful healing love emanating from Morning Calm Healing Home in Las Vegas, NV. IKSUN 익선 LIGHT healing candles are infused with a felt sense of care, and stored within the healing home.

What is your name?
My name is Amelia Sun Langkusch.
How do you identify yourself?
I am a mental health counselor, holistic healer, BSP, artist, designer, candlemaker, and steward of Morning Calm Healing Home in Las Vegas, NV.
Where were you adopted from and when? If you would like to briefly share any aspects of your life before adoption, please do.
I am an intercountry adoptee born in Iksan, South Korea, and raised as an only child in Laguna Beach, California. In 2008, I attended a global IKAA gathering in New York, but lost touch with the KAD community when I got pregnant and married shortly thereafter.
In 2018, I reunited with my birth mother and half brother during my first trip back home to Korea. Following my reunion, I was inspired to create a safe sanctuary, healing home designed to hold adoptees through their deep innerwork and holistic healing process.
When did you create IKSUN 익선 LIGHT and what inspired you to create candles?
I began hand pouring IKSUN 익선 LIGHT healing candles in February 2024 as a way to spread and share the healing light and positive energy from Morning Calm Healing Home, our collective sanctuary for adoptee healing and international retreats.
What conversation do you think more intercountry adoptees should be engaging in?
We need to view ourselves as the mentor and the mentee, the elder and the child.
Embodying vulnerability and authenticity, courage with wisdom and deep care, we can engage in conversations with ourselves and one another that foster safety and deep healing.
We know we deserve our own love and one another’s love.
How do you take care of yourself?
I keep breathing, everyday. I remind myself to stay mindful of the big picture, and also of what serves my highest purposes in the present moment. Slowing down. Meditation and personal therapy. Hot baths. Reiki Massage. Sunshine. Nurturing food. Sound bath. Silence and stillness. .
