Ep. 65 Lorah Gerald: The Adopted Chameleon

When They Were Young: Amplifying Voices of Adoptees

Today, we speak with Lorah Gerald (aka The Adopted Chameleon). It was a delight to have a light worker with such a profound grasp of a plethora of healing modalities. Lorah is a trauma-informed Kundalini Yoga instructor, Intuitive, Tarot & Tea reader, and Reiki healer. You can find her on Instagram @theadopteechamelean sharing her gifts as a healer through movement and mindful practices.

We talk about:

• The adoption summit she attended called “Untangling Our Roots”
• Lorah’s Medium energy worker
• Her Kundalini Yoga practice
• The healing powers of wearing colors to brighten your mood
• The Baby Scoop era that she was born into and the complexities of same race adoption. The difference between acute trauma, chronic trauma and complex trauma
• How she became “The Adoptee Chameleon”
• We end with how you can change your energy through breath work, where she leads us through practice.
