About Us
About Asentriarc
Where healing feels human.
Asentriarc is a trauma-informed therapy and wellness practice created to support the whole person—mind, body, and nervous system.
We exist for those navigating the aftermath of adversity while still showing up for life, work, and relationships. People who are holding more than anyone can see.
Whether you're deep in survival or silently burning out behind high-functioning, this is a space where you don’t have to carry it all alone.
Asentriarc was created to change how healing happens.
Not just for individuals, but for communities—and the industry itself.
After years of trauma work, we saw how often traditional systems miss the mark. Therapy and wellness can feel cold, clinical, or performative. They treat the mind or body, but rarely both. And almost never the whole person.
We wanted more.
A space that honours the nervous system, welcomes complexity, and leads with presence instead of pressure.
At Asentriarc, care is relational.
Rest is sacred.
And growth happens at the pace of safety.
We offer 1:1 therapy, group support, body-led healing, and seasonal retreats.
Each experience is built to be attuned, human, and deeply respectful of your story.
Asentriarc means where ascent meets matriarchy—a space for rising that is rooted in care, depth, and grounded feminine leadership.
You don’t need to be fixed.
You need to be held. Seen. Safe enough to remember who you really are.
That’s what we’re here for.
Our Mission
Our Vision
Our Core Values
To offer deeply attuned, trauma-informed therapy that honours your mind, body, and nervous system.
To create healing spaces where you can rest, reconnect, and rise—at your own pace, and in your own way.
Asentriarc exists to support your growth today while building a broader wellness movement rooted in care, safety, and community.
At Asentriarc, we’re building more than a therapy practice—we’re creating a movement rooted in safety, attunement, and authentic human connection.
In the years ahead, our vision is to grow into a full-spectrum healing hub that supports both mind and body.
That includes expanding our team, offering holistic and somatic services, and ultimately creating a therapeutic spa and retreat space where rest isn’t earned—it’s honoured.
Whether you come for therapy, breathwork, or simply a space to exhale, we want you to feel like you belong.
Our vision is a world where healing is accessible, inclusive, and built to support even the most high-functioning among us—because high performance is often a response to pain, not the absence of it.
You don’t have to carry it alone.
And you don’t have to wait until you break down to be cared for.
Attunement
We lead with presence. We listen beyond words, track nervous system cues, and meet people exactly where they are.
Trauma-Informed Care
We believe healing happens in safety, not pressure. Consent, trust, and nervous system regulation are central to everything we do.
Relational Integrity
We believe the relationship is the therapy. Realness, boundaries, and human connection are our foundation.
Inclusivity
We create spaces where all bodies, identities, and lived experiences are welcomed and affirmed. Healing must be accessible—not exclusive.
Anti-Oppression
We actively challenge systems that harm. We’re committed to ongoing unlearning, repair, and accountability in all our practices.
Growth Without Force
We honour change at the pace of safety, readiness, and self-trust. Healing should never be rushed.
Leadership with Heart
We’re reimagining leadership as matriarchal, collaborative, and care-centered. We lead with courage, not control.
Why Trauma-Informed Care Matters
Because healing doesn’t happen under pressure, it happens in safety.
At Asentriarc, we understand that trauma isn’t just about what happened to you.
It’s about how your body and mind learned to survive.
Trauma-informed care means we honour those adaptations with compassion, not judgment.
We don’t pathologize coping—we get curious about it.
In a trauma-informed space, your nervous system leads.
You’ll never be rushed, pushed, or expected to perform healing on demand.
Instead, we focus on building the kind of relationship and environment where real, lasting change can take root—on your terms, at your pace, and in your own way.
What We Do
At Asentriarc, we offer trauma-informed therapy and wellness services designed to support healing on every level—emotional, physical, and relational.
Whether you're navigating trauma, burnout, anxiety, or identity shifts, our work centers on one thing: helping you feel safe enough to reconnect with yourself.
Current Offerings:
• Individual Therapy for Adults
• Virtual Breathwork & Mindfulness Sessions
• Restorative Yoga & Somatic Movement
• TCM-Informed Nutritional Support
• Nervous System Care for High-Functioning Overwhelm
Coming Soon:

Every service is grounded in attunement, rest, and relational safety—because healing isn’t one-size-fits-all.
You deserve care that meets you where you are, and honours how you heal.
What to Expect
Starting therapy—or starting again—can feel overwhelming.
At Asentriarc, we do everything we can to make your first step feel safe, respectful, and deeply human.
Here’s what you can expect when working with us:
A pace that honours you
You’ll never be rushed. We follow your nervous system’s lead, meeting you where you are, not where someone thinks you should be.
Attuned, compassionate care
Our therapists bring warmth, presence, and professionalism. You don’t have to perform, impress, or explain everything. You get to just be.
A collaborative relationship
We’re not here to fix you. We’re here to support you in reconnecting to your clarity, capacity, and inner knowing.
An inclusive and affirming space
All bodies, identities, and lived experiences are welcome. This is a space built on consent, respect, and care.
Whether you're seeking clarity, release, connection, or simply a place to land, you're welcome here.
Meet the Founder
Sarah Ferland Doherty, RSW
Founder • Trauma Therapist
Wellness Visionary & Matriarchal Leader in Human-Centred Healing
Sarah founded Asentriarc to reimagine what healing could look and feel like—not just for individuals, but for an entire industry.
After years of trauma therapy work, she saw how often traditional care missed the mark. It was too clinical. Too rushed. Too disembodied.
She dreamed of something different: a space where care is relational, rest is sacred, and healing includes the whole person—mind, body, and nervous system.
With a background in both clinical practice and hospitality, Sarah brings a rare dual lens: one rooted in science, the other in deep human warmth. Her leadership is matriarchal in nature—attuned, nurturing, and courageously expansive.
Asentriarc is the expression of that vision.
A place for the high achievers quietly burning out. The helpers who never ask for help. The ones who want to be held, not handled.
Today, Sarah leads Asentriarc with a long-view:
To grow a full-spectrum healing hub, create trauma-informed spaces across wellness and hospitality, and set a new standard for care—one where people don’t have to wait until they break to be supported.
“I don’t believe in fixing people. I believe in helping them remember who they are.”
Join the Movement
Whether you’re just beginning your healing journey or ready to deepen it, Asentriarc is here to walk beside you.
We believe rest is radical.
Healing is relational.
And safety should never have to be earned.
If you’re seeking therapy that feels attuned, empowering, and deeply human, you’re in the right place.
You don’t need to have it all figured out.
You just need to take the first step.
We’ll meet you there..
