SOUTH ASIAN WOMEN
AWAKENING THE WISDOM WITHIN™ (SAWW)
As South Asian women, since we were children, we were told to keep our heads down. We were expected to accommodate others, keep family problems a secret, and hide our emotions.
These expectations disconnected us from our authentic selves.
SAWW is a group therapy transformation program for South Asian women who are interested
in reconnecting and integrating the genius of their inner child to create a life of unconditional confidence and possibility!
PRICING STRUCTURE
Awakening the Wisdom Within™ is eligible for up to 100% coverage by most insurance providers.
$1800 CAD
Billed as $150 per session
If only they SAWW you...
As young South Asian girls, many of us weren't seen for who we really were, but instead as who our family wanted us to be. Through people pleasing, silencing our voices, and overachieving we adapted to feel accepted.
In turn we lost the authentic part of ourselves.
The part that lived life from a place of joy, awe, and wonder. The part that deserved to be seen, soothed, and feel safe in their uniqueness and individuality.
What if I told you it doesn't have to be this way.
When we reconnect with our inner child we help them feel safe and give them a space to belong.

"I have completed the AWW program with Julia and what an experience! She guides you through the challenges of digging deep into your inner self and reacquainting with your inner child. The group work is encouraging as you form a bond when listening or sharing your experiences with everyone. Julia has such a comforting approach and you feel safe while discovering a more authentic you. Thank you, Julia and Stephanie for your guidance and support throughout this process. It should be included in everyone's routine on the journey to self actualization! And the dance parties are great too!!"

"I was having constant frustration with everyone around me and was also feeling so much guilt all the time... I wasn’t sure what to do. I was just so done with it and miserable. I joined Awakening the Wisdom Within and recognized some of my patterns and traps while learning to love myself more and taking care of myself more. I now can reflect and have more awareness in the moment and feel overall more at peace and playful!"

I’m Dr. Julia Sen. I am a South Asian Registered Clinical and Counselling Psychologist in Ontario with over 20 years of experience in individual, group, and couples counselling...
I believe that psychotherapy is based on providing a warm, safe, and supportive environment where clients feel comfortable expressing their emotions and needs.
As a 10th-generation Dr. Sen (and the first woman), you might think I had unconditional confidence in myself. The truth is, I did not. I, like several of my clients, had many moments of self-doubt and anxiety, leading me to play small in many areas of my life.
When my children were 3 and 6 years old, I started to feel exhausted and lost. Until then, I had done all that was “expected” of me. I got married, completed my PhD, became a licensed Psychologist, found a niche, and started a practice.
I had my children during my PhD, which included fertility treatments, and I continued to live life living up to other’s expectations and I wasn’t feeling very alive. To be perfectly honest, I was feeling like life was just a thing to get through, even though I had the blessing of a family, friends, and a great career.
As a psychologist I am very privileged and grateful that being curious about relationships, events, and the self are part of my career. So I spent a great deal of time exploring and understanding patterns and the impacts of those patterns.
Through my curiosity, experience, and love of solving puzzles I expanded my own growth and created various transformation programs to creatively unlock our innate wisdom so we can navigate life with greater ease and flow.
With a special interest in parenting, fertility, and inner child work, I believe anything is possible – that’s why they call me The Possibility Psychologist™.
I am so excited to help you awaken the possibility within you.

I had my children during my PhD, which included fertility treatments, and I parented as I thought I should. But something always felt off to me.
I watched as my children became little “obeyers,” trying to keep us pleased. At first, it seemed great that they were learning to “listen,” but soon after, I realized their unique sensitivities and curious personalities were starting to fade.
I decided to change how I parented. I challenged expectations and norms and I witnessed incredible changes and growth in my children that I never imagined!

"I have worked with Dr. Julia Sen for several years receiving individual therapy. I was extremely excited to have the chance to work with her in her group transformation program, Awakening the Wisdom Within - the Inner Child, as I felt coming together with other like-minded women would be incredibly expansive for me. I was absolutely right! The skills I learned within the group container have changed my life, and I don't say that lightly. Life is very different now, 6 months later, and I feel like a very different person. Not only has my perspective on many personal issues changed, I've also become more resilient and aware of how I can support myself. I feel like I'm operating on a higher frequency, no longer stuck in victim mode. The techniques are easy to understand and I come back to them time and again when my life requires it. I highly recommend Dr. Sen and her group program! If you are hesitant - feel the fear and do it anyway! You won't regret it. "
