What if there was a space to digest, process and move through
cultural, personal and intergenerational trauma, with care,
nuance, no right or wrong but with curiosity and play?
Welcome home
Hi! I’m Malia Wright-Merer, mixed, born on the unceded territory of the Tongva people, now called Los Angeles, with my family lineages from China, Africa, Sweden, and England.
I am a Trauma Informed DEIA (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Accessibility) Embodiment Expert, specializing in Embodied Movement, Collective Trauma Healing, Somatic Human Design, and Ayurveda. Through consulting, coaching, and workshops, I combine curiosity and mindfulness to support personal and collective healing. Named by colleagues, “The Queen of Nuance,”
I help organizations and individuals create inclusive, adaptive environments that foster authentic connection, resilience, and well-being, so you can align with your values and
make the impact you dream of!
With a background in belonging, disability inclusion facilitation, healing collective trauma, awareness of communal psychology, money trauma and somatic embodiment, my approach is playfully rooted in curiosity, creating an open space for engagement and processing to support the individual process for the progress of collective cultural growth.
This is about creating a container to remember what it feels like to be at home.
To be in relationship with yourself, your community, and the land.
Here, we move through rigidity, fear, scarcity, and their root in personal, familial, ancestral, and systemic stories.
We sit in the in-between to digest, rest, process, and re-imaging new ways of being.
For too long, we have been disconnected from what makes us feel alive, connected, joyful, and pleasurable and this is where we get to hang out to remember.
Remember what our ancient ancestors once knew.
Remember the feeling of connecting beings.
Remember what it was like to be in collective care.
How we can create together
Curious what this is all about? Take a Listen!
The Cozy Impact Pod
Join Julia Firestone and me to dive into deep conversations.
Picture this: soft blankets, abundant plants and nature, a fire in the fireplace, and dear friends. You’re in your element, energized and nourished by the setting and sense of community.
Welcome to The Cozy Impact Pod, a virtual embodiment of this experience where we open the door to topics that impactful people and conscious leaders constantly think about but rarely get to talk about. We’re destigmatizing, playing, and laughing our way to a greater sense of belonging for our friends in helping professions - from social entrepreneurs like ourselves to activists, nonprofit and social impact folks, educators, and anyone who wants to contribute to making the world a better place. Welcome home.

Where do I belong? An Embodied Exploration of Identity & Belonging for Bi/Multicultural Bodies*
This is a playful experiential space bringing in authentic movement, psychodrama, and sociometry, phototherapy, music, movement and song. As well as through story sharing and unfacilitated conversation space. Our interest is not to “figure out” where it is that we belong between the identities we hold, but critique binaries and dream together into what could emerge from our experiences of non-belonging and the new meaning we might make for ourselves in the process.
