My Story

Sarah Kennedy — Trauma-Informed Somatic Coach

I didn’t come to this work lightly; I came to it through clawing at the fabric of a reality that I so deeply wanted to hold, but had no idea how.

I grew up split between two worlds: a divorced home marked by sexual abuse on one side, and cult indoctrination on the other. My childhood was shaped by emotional caretaking, silence, and deep conditioning that taught me to abandon myself to survive.

I learned early to be pleasing, to be small, to be useful. I was trained to endure, not to feel. The result was a fractured identity...always performing, never belonging.

In adulthood, I searched for relief anywhere I could find it: numbing vices, overachieving, stacking accolades, and escaping in any way I could. I believed that if I were perfect enough, successful enough, and loved enough, I could finally feel safe. But my body knew better. At 26, I developed an autoimmune disease that forced me to confront everything I had buried.

It was the beginning of my real healing.

I met the parts of me I had abandoned. I unraveled decades of silence. I rebuilt my nervous system, my story, and my sense of self from the inside out. The woman you see today is the result of that deep, embodied work. I am the first person I ever guided home. And now, I offer the same to you.

This space was created from lived experience, not theory. It’s sacred. It’s honest. It’s yours now, too.
