Why Ancestral Healing Is the Most Untapped Resource for Healing Emotional Trauma

In today’s world, conversations around healing emotional trauma often circle around therapy, self-help books, or wellness practices that only scratch the surface. While these methods can be supportive, there is a deeper, often overlooked resource that can transform the way we heal and grow: ancestral healing.

I sometimes wonder—why isn’t ancestral healing more mainstream?

As a practitioner, I’ve witnessed time and time again how powerful this work can be. Just yesterday, I had the privilege of guiding a client in London through a Generational Healing® session. Before and after the session, we shared a heartfelt conversation about why this work matters. He looked at me and said, “Sarah, this is why you do the work.” I am starting a global movement where ancestral healing becomes a mainstream conversation.

And he was right. 

Why Look to the Ancestors for Healing Emotional Trauma?

Our ancestors carry stories, patterns, and unhealed wounds that ripple through the generations. Much of the emotional trauma we experience today is not just our own—it is inherited. Traditional therapy can help us process our feelings, but it often overlooks the bigger picture: the lineage we come from.

Through ancestral and shamanic healing practices, we are able to access the root of these patterns, release the pain held within the lineage, and restore balance for ourselves and those who came before us. It is a holistic approach—mind, body, spirit, and soul—that creates lasting freedom.

This is why I believe ancestral healing is one of the most important yet untapped forms of alternative healing available to us today. 

What Happens in a Holistic Healing Session

In a typical holistic healing session, you may experience:

• Release of trauma: Energetic and emotional burdens that have been held for generations can be lifted.

• Heart opening: Many clients describe a sense of deep love and connection that flows through them after a session.

• Clarity and answers: Instead of years spent searching “out there” for healing, answers arise from within your lineage.

• Spiritual awakening: This work often accelerates your spiritual growth, aligning you with your soul’s truth.

When my London client reflected back to me, “This is why you do the work,” it was a reminder of just how profound these experiences are—not only for individuals, but for families and future generations.

The Power of Shamanic Healing in Ancestral Work

Shamanic healing provides a sacred pathway for connecting with the unseen world. It allows us to bridge the gap between the living and the ancestral realm, bringing healing and resolution where it is most needed. These sessions often involve energy medicine, ancestral communication, and intuitive guidance—all rooted in the wisdom traditions that have honored the interconnectedness of life for centuries.

This is not about reliving the past—it’s about rewriting the patterns of the future.

I have been facilitating this work since 2017. I have received over 13 sacred spiritual initiations to bring this work to the modern world. I am professionally certified by Deborah Skye King of the International Soul Therapy School® in Ontario, Canada.

Why This Work Matters Now More Than Ever

We live in a world where many people are seeking alternative healing methods because conventional approaches haven’t provided the depth of transformation they desire. Ancestral healing offers that depth.

When you choose to heal at the root, you’re not only freeing yourself—you’re liberating your lineage. You’re breaking cycles of pain, trauma, and dysfunction, and creating space for peace, love, and freedom to become your family’s legacy.

This is why I do this work. And this is why I believe ancestral healing should no longer be on the sidelines—it should be a central conversation in the world of healing emotional trauma.

Most spend years in traditional talk therapy never getting to the roots of healing their trauma—that's because traditional talk therapy doesn't cover ancestral healing medicine and epigenetic healing to clean up the emotional DNA and trauma that you have inherited from your family lineage.

Here are a couple of my many 5-star client testimonials after working with me in healing sessions:

“Working with Sarah has been such an incredible experience. I've worked with her a couple of times now and every time I return to working with her, a newer version of myself emerges. Sarah creates an incredible opportunity for you to learn about yourself. She is very loving and intuitive and asks the right questions to activate your awareness into who you truly are and how your Soul desires to experience life. I love working with Sarah and will encourage everyone I know to work with her. She's the real deal!”

 "I have worked with Sarah on and off for about 5 years and she has supported me, counselled me, healed me and been a guiding light during some very dark times. Sarah also has a great sense of humour, something which I often feel is missing in the spiritual space, and which I think is vital when traversing some pretty deep sh*t!"

“Sarah is such a beautiful soul to work with. Her energy is healing and safe; I felt able to open up to receive her intuitive gifts completely. The breakthroughs and clarity I have received from my generational healing sessions have brought me to a new level in my spirituality and self trust. If you have been considering her offerings to support your healing journey, I highly recommend working with Sarah.”
