Dr. Sadairea August, PhD, PsyD, is a Licensed Christian Therapist, Certified Christian Mental Health Coach, retreat curator, and embodied movement facilitator based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Through her signature brand, Peace in Her Body, Dr. August creates sacred spaces where women are invited to experience healing at the intersection of Christian faith, mental health, and the body’s wisdom.

With a dual doctorate and a heart rooted in Scripture, Dr. August brings a rare and powerful combination of clinical expertise and prophetic faith to every stage she steps onto. She understands that true healing is not merely cognitive; it is spiritual, emotional, and embodied. Her retreats and speaking engagements weave together Christian talk therapy, mental health coaching, and movement-based healing into transformative experiences designed for the whole woman.

Dr. August is the author of two groundbreaking books: Rest for the Prophetic Woman and The Rest That Heals, both of which speak directly to the overlooked exhaustion that women of faith carry and offer Spirit-led pathways toward rest, restoration, and radical peace.

Whether she is speaking from a pulpit, a conference stage, or a retreat sanctuary, Dr. August carries a prophetic authority that disarms shame, dismantles stigma, and invites women into the fullness of healing God intended for them. Her message is simple and life-changing: you were not created to survive, you were created to be at peace in your body, your mind, and your spirit.
