About Marudam
Marudam (마루담) is inspired by maru (마루), a traditional Korean space where people gather and rest, and damda (담다), meaning “to hold” or “to contain.” Together, the name represents a space that holds every person’s story with care.
Marudam was created to bring people and professionals together in a way that is more accessible, thoughtful, and personal. We aim to create a space where individuals can find support that fits them, while professionals can connect, contribute, and grow through meaningful work.
Vision & Mission
Vision
A world where everyone can find support that understands their language, culture, and personal needs—where seeking help feels natural, and financial circumstances do not determine who receives care.
Mission
To make professional support more accessible, affordable, and personal through thoughtful matching, multilingual options, and partnerships that help reduce barriers to care.
Founder & Value
Kezia Lewitra, B.A. in Psychology, M.A. in Christian Counseling, is the founder of Marudam. Based in Korea, her cross-cultural experience spans Indonesia, Australia, Korea, and Singapore, with a background in psychology, counseling, education, and community work.
She holds an educational certification from ACSI and is completing further studies through UCLA, expected to finish in 2027. Through her work across cultures and communities, she saw how difficult it can be for people to find support that fits their language, background, needs, and circumstances. This experience inspired Marudam.
Empathy
We listen with care and respect each person’s needs, background, and boundaries.
Fairness
We aim to create a balanced platform that respects professional expertise while helping people find support that fits their needs and circumstances.
Integrity
We value transparency, privacy, ethical practice, and responsibility in every relationship we build.
Our Identity
Our symbol reflects the idea that growth does not always follow a straight path. The continuous form represents movement through different seasons of life, while the separate point represents a moment to pause, reflect, and move forward again.
Together, they represent Marudam as a space where every story has room to unfold in its own way.
