Message from the Founder

Hi! My name is Sasha Lawrence, and I founded Serenity Sound Healing for many reasons – Because I love psychology and spirituality, because mainstream and western therapeutic practices weren’t doing it for me anymore, because I felt more regulated in one sound healing session than I ever did after many therapy sessions, and because I love connecting with people on a deeper level. But I also founded Serenity Sound Healing on the basis of a simple truth: you are never truly free until you feel safe within yourself.

Growing up in Caribbean household while navigating my sister’s rare syndrome, I learned early to stay strong, and lend support wherever I can, whenever I can, even if at times that meant silencing my own needs until it was “safe” to express them. While that led me to I become “emotionally resilient” and high-achieving on the outside; constantly excelling, always landing opportunities, getting into the best programs and having exceptional grades – Internally, when I wasn’t moving, and I sat down long enough to let my inner voice speak, I realized I was emotionally dysregulated and disconnected on the inside.

And I’m not alone.

Many of us, especially women are taught to measure our worth by what we do, and not who we are. It starts in our formative years. Maybe you learned that being “easy” or “good” earned you more approval than being honest.
Maybe you heard “stop crying, it’s not that serious” when it felt serious to you, and slowly you stopped trusting your own emotions. Maybe you were called “the strong one,” the dependable one, the one who holds everything together — until one day you realized no one ever checks on the strong one.

And for some of us, asking for help didn’t feel safe either. Because when we did, we were made to feel small… incapable… like needing support meant we were somehow failing. So we learned to carry things alone. Quietly. Competently. Invisibly.

And when there’s no follow-up after we’ve been hurt, when no one checks in even though they know how something might have affected us, we learn to bury those feelings instead of process them. We begin to show up as a more palatable, easygoing, watered-down version of ourselves — not because that’s who we are, but because it feels safer than being misunderstood or hurt again.

We tell ourselves that if we bury it deeply enough, maybe we’ll forget. But the body doesn’t forget. The feeling stays stored beneath the surface, reigniting each time the wound is touched but never addressed at the root.

And over time, that buried pain becomes a pattern — shaping how we work, love, rest, and relate. It shows up as perfectionism, burnout, anxiety, and numbness, keeping us in a quiet survival mode even when the danger is long gone.

But here’s the truth. What once protected us now keeps us disconnected from our bodies, our peace, our power, ourselves, and sometimes even our favorite people.

My healing from domestication, from limiting beliefs, and from anything that no longer serves me began with my spiritual awakening and was deeply enhanced when I discovered breathwork, sound healing, nervous system regulation, and emotional regulation. These tools have helped me orchestrate a return to my authentic self — slowly, gently, and with compassion. They’ve taught me how to feel more fully, how to regulate instead of suppress, and how to rebuild the inner safety I had been missing for years.

My practice is about encouraging and inspiring others to do the same — to build internal safety and radical self-acceptance through inner work, sound, and breath. In essence, Serenity Sound Healing exists to help you remember who you are beneath the stress, the expectations, and the survival mode, helping the best version of you rise above the surface and into being.

Today, as a certified sound healer and breathwork facilitator, grounded in my training and my Master of Science in Applied Psychology — where I’ve studied burnout, psychological safety, team building, and supportive workplace and organizational culture — I guide individuals, groups, and organizations back into alignment. To date, I have led 65+ sound healing and breathwork sessions, working in the nonprofit sector, with formerly incarcerated individuals, and those seeking greater alignment.

It has been my pleasure creating spaces for individuals to reconnect with their bodies, reclaim their peace, and work toward rebuilding the self-trust that creates real transformation — because when you learn to feel safe within yourself, you don’t just heal — you expand.

And from that place, anything becomes possible.

Thank you for tuning in, and I hope to meet you very soon. If we’ve already met, I can’t wait to see you again. Until next time.
