She’s been holding it all together.

But what about her art?


You know her.

She’s the one holding space for everyone else’s brilliance.
The one they go to for feedback, for guidance, for excellence.
She gives. She teaches. She builds. She leads.

But when the lights go down and the inbox is quiet, there’s a voice that won’t stop whispering:

“When is it my turn?”

That woman is you.
And if you’ve made it here, then you’re ready to answer.

Hi, I’m Sarah Rockwood.

Singer-songwriter. Actor. Author. Director. Playwright. Music producer. Artistic embodiment coach. Survivor. Storyteller.


And after 36 years in the business we call “show,” I’m here to tell you:

You don’t have to prove anything. You just have to return to yourself.

I’ve lived this life from the inside out—from studio floor to centre stage, from trauma to triumph, from silence to sovereign self-expression.

I’ve felt the ache of sidelined artistry, the fragmentation of over-functioning, the deep grief of holding back your voice just to keep the peace.


I’ve also felt the bone-deep joy of coming home to my own art—and now I help other women do the same.

I don’t just teach technique. I teach return.

Over the past three decades, I’ve:

  • Performed in hundreds of plays and musicals

  • Written four novels (with more whispering their way in)

  • Wrote, recorded and released five albums

  • Coached vocalists, performers, and recording artists from first note to final bow

  • Produced full-length albums and built live sets that bring artists’ vision to life

  • Survived abuse, coercive control, and the wreckage of being managed by someone who controlled both my career and my voice

  • Rebuilt it all—on my terms

  • Came out—proudly, powerfully—as my full lesbian self at 46

  • And continued to create in the midst of fibromyalgia and Epstein-Barr virus, learning how to pace, rest, and rebuild my creative rhythm around the needs of my body

I’ve learned how to anchor myself—emotionally, artistically, and physically—so I can go deeper without breaking.


This is what I teach. This is what I hold space for. This is the path I walk with women who are done waiting.


I believe this with my whole being:

Women, especially artistic women, hold the power to change the world.

Whether you’re writing a novel, recording a folk song, or sculpting a vase for your own table—when you make art that is true, you become unstoppable.

We weren’t brought here to live half-lives.
We weren’t born to dim our brilliance in the name of being “good.”
We are here to disrupt, to create, to be seen.
We are here to remember—and return.

This is the place where your voice rises.

When we work together, we go soul-deep.
We reclaim your artistry, your identity, your vision—and we build from there.
This isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about becoming fully you.

And when you do?

You create from power. You perform with ease. You rise with devotion, not depletion.

If I did it, maybe you can too.
And if you’re ready—I’ll walk beside you every step of the way.
