What Matriarchal Healing Means at Asentriarc
When I rebranded my practice and launched Asentriarc Wellness, one of the first questions I got was, “What does Asentriarc even mean?”
The answer is simple and powerful: Asentriarc is a blend of “ascending” and “matriarch.”
It reflects both the journey upward into healing, strength, and authenticity, and the role of the matriarch: a guide, a leader, a safe pillar in the storm.
Redefining Matriarchy
When most people hear “matriarch,” they think of someone with children or grandchildren. But to me, matriarchy isn’t about titles or family structures. It’s about holding space with wisdom, strength, and care.
I see myself as a matriarch not because I have kids, but because I’ve dedicated my life to being that steady pillar for others. I hold space for people to release emotions they’ve buried for years, sometimes decades. I hold space for grief, anger, fear, shame, and all the feelings we’re told to hide.
Being a matriarch means people can come undone in your presence without fear of judgment. It means you help them process, slow down, and piece together what feels overwhelming. And once they feel safe and supported, you help them rise.
Healing Through Many Lenses
At Asentriarc, we don’t believe healing should be limited to one method or one worldview. Trauma doesn’t just live in the mind, so therapy shouldn’t stop at talk.
We integrate:
Western therapy models such as trauma-informed psychotherapy
Eastern practices including breathwork, mindfulness, and herbal support
Indigenous wisdom and ways of reconnecting with body and spirit
By weaving together diverse approaches, we’re able to address the full picture of healing: the mind, the body, and the nervous system that connects them.
The Power of Matriarchal Healing
True matriarchal healing is about empowerment, not dependency.
In my work, I don’t just sit with clients in their pain. I help them:
Understand how their survival patterns once served them
Reframe triggers as signals, not failures
Build strategies that fit their real lives, not an idealized version of who they “should” be
The goal is always the same: to send people back into their lives stronger, clearer, and more connected to who they truly are.
That’s what a matriarch does. She holds, she guides, and then she lets you lead your own life.
Why Asentriarc
I chose the name Asentriarc because it holds the heart of what I want for everyone who walks through our doors:
To ascend, to rise above survival mode and reconnect with your authentic self
To be held by the energy of a matriarch, strong, nurturing, wise, and safe
Asentriarc is more than a practice. It’s a movement toward a different way of healing. A way that doesn’t see people as broken, but as resilient beings who deserve support, care, and space to grow.
Final Thoughts
The future of healing is matriarchal. It’s grounded in compassion, strength, and connection. It’s about creating spaces where people feel safe enough to release what they’ve carried for too long and to step into who they were always meant to be.
At Asentriarc Wellness, that’s the future we’re building. And I’d love for you to be a part of it.
