About

My name is Sasha Lawrence, and I am a facilitator, sound healer, breath work practitioner, and the founder of Serenity Sound Healing, a Los Angeles based practice that helps individuals and communities regulate their nervous systems and explore the beliefs, behaviors, and embodied patterns that shape their capacity for healing, growth, and self-actualization.

My fascination with mental health started early, going back to high school when I founded my school’s first mental health club, before I even had the language to fully understand why it mattered so much to me. Through my own experiences, my upbringing, and years of studying psychology, I arrived at a truth I keep coming back to: you are never truly free until you feel safe within yourself. That understanding shaped everything that followed, including a Master of Science in Applied Psychology from the University of Southern California, where my graduate research explored holistic wellness engagement and burnout among high-performing professionals.

What I love most is exploring the environmental and familial factors that quietly shape who we become. The households we grew up in, the roles we were handed before we could choose them, the moments that taught us whether our needs were welcome, and the ways all of it settles into our self esteem and our nervous system’s capacity to feel safe. So much of what we call personality is actually adaptation, and there is something deeply freeing about recognizing which parts of us are truly ours and which parts we built to survive a room we are no longer standing in.

That exploration feels especially alive in my work with women. We are handed a long list of expectations about how much to give, how little to need, how agreeable to be, and how much of ourselves to shrink in order to stay palatable, and most of us absorbed that list before we were old enough to question it. I love creating spaces where women can take that list apart, look honestly at what they have been carrying, and set down what was never theirs to begin with. Not with force or self-criticism, but with the kind of compassion most of us were never taught to offer ourselves.

I integrate applied psychology, sound healing, breathwork, and facilitation to create restorative experiences that invite greater self-awareness, resilience, and lasting transformation, grounded in the belief that meaningful change happens when we care for both the body and the mind. I am trauma-informed through Hala Khouri’s Practicing Liberation facilitation training, and to date I have facilitated more than 85 healing sessions and workshops across Los Angeles, working with students, BIPOC communities, and formerly incarcerated individuals. I maintain ongoing partnerships with nonprofits and community organizations including the California Black Women’s Mental Health Project, A Place to Call Home, and Queens Build, and I facilitate workshops for chapters of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated.

My signature workshop, Rooted and Regulated, is a nervous system regulation experience designed for high-performing women of color, bringing together somatic tools, breathwork, and psychological insight to help women reconnect with themselves and lead from a regulated place.

At its heart, Serenity Sound Healing exists to help you regulate your emotions, build internal safety, and practice radical self-acceptance through inner work, sound, and breath. Because healing was never about becoming someone new. It is about remembering who you are beneath the stress, the expectations, and the survival mode, so the best version of you can rise to the surface and into being.
