Founders
Yoona Hawkins, M.C., is an educator and clinical counsellor. Her research is centred on concepts of connectedness at different levels of existence and how they inform our experience of life. Her ideas on causality and synchronicity, as they relate to counselling therapy, have been published in the UK Adlerian Yearbook, 2016 edition.
She prefers deeper conversations to small talk. She also loves Korean cold buckwheat noodles (냉면), hence our name.
