I Was Conceived in R*pe: How I Healed Ge...

From Adoption Trauma to Root Healing - Sanne's Extraordinary Journey

This episode is absolutely raw and it's one you need to listen to if you're exploring what's really underneath your pain.

I sit down with Sanne, a physiotherapist turned Root Coaching founder, who was adopted from Sri Lanka as a baby and spent decades not knowing her story. Her journey took her from numbing with drugs and unsafe relationships, to meeting her biological mother, to using plant medicine (ayahuasca) to access the deepest layers of her trauma, to now helping others heal their inner child and access their roots.

This is not a light conversation. It's deep, it's real, and it's about understanding that everything that happened before you were even born is living in your nervous system.

This episode is for you if:

• You've experienced adoption trauma or identity confusion

• You're using substances or behaviours to numb overwhelming feelings

• You want to understand what plant medicine actually does for healing

• You believe trauma needs to be FELT to be healed (not bypassed)

• You're interested in inner child work that goes beyond talking therapy

• You're ready to go to the root instead of managing symptoms

• You want to know what authentic healing actually looks like

In this episode, we cover:

✨ What it means to be adopted and the nervous system imprint that creates

✨ How Sanne numbed decades of pain with drugs and escaping

✨ The moment she decided to search for her biological mother in Sri Lanka

✨ What ayahuasca is and why she felt called to use it for healing

✨ The difference between plant medicine in ceremony vs. random use

✨ How the ego protects us from truth and why plant medicine bypasses that

✨ The apology exercise that broke her open (writing apologies from people in her life)

✨ Why having someone physically present while you feel is the healing

✨ Trauma is created in relationship, so it can only be healed in relationship

✨ The difference between feeling it to heal it vs. rapid resolution (bypassing pain)

✨ Inner child work and why it needs to be a whole-body experience

✨ Authentic movement (not dance) as a way to release emotion through the body

✨ What happens when you combine inner child work + plant medicine

✨ How she now helps clients through Root Coaching

✨ The power of five minutes of silence when your nervous system is restless

✨ You can't force healing. You create space and it unfolds

✨ The lady who didn't cry for 10 years and what shifted it

✨ Why you need a safe person to heal. You can't do this alone

Powerful quotes from the episode:

💬 "The start is there. It really is everything. It starts from the very beginning."

💬 "You have to feel it to heal it. You can't just bypass all that pain."

💬 "Trauma is created via relationship, so it can only be healed in relationship."

💬 "The ego is lying continuously and very sharp lying to you. So you believe it most of the time."

💬 "I'm so proud of her. Even though it's so painful, she's going through everything. Badass."

If you're stuck in numbing patterns, if you think you need to understand everything intellectually before you can heal, if you're afraid of feeling your pain — this episode will change how you see what's actually possible.

This is about going to the root. Not managing symptoms. Actually healing.
