About Saya Healing

Healing at the root cause

At Saya Healing, each session or programme is tailored to understand the root of your big emotions or your inability to feel them. Guided by the principle that healing is never linear, there is no fixed target here.

Compassionate Inquiry illustration

Healing is not about fixing anything within you, because you are not broken. It is about understanding how what happened to you at a certain age shaped who you are today.

At Saya Healing, sessions and programmes are grounded in Compassionate Inquiry, Polyvagal Theory, somatic awareness, Conscious Parenting, and inner child healing.

What this work supports

  • Understanding your emotional responses
  • Meeting the inner child and protective parts within you
  • Recognising how your past continues to shape your present
  • Creating more safety, awareness, and compassion in your body
Each session and programme is approached with patience and compassion, allowing you to go at your own pace without pressure, agenda, or judgment.

The approaches behind the work

Compassionate Inquiry Certified PractitionerWhat is Compassionate Inquiry?

A way of looking beneath the surface through a compassionate lens

Compassionate Inquiry is a therapeutic approach developed by Dr. Gabor Maté that helps uncover unconscious beliefs, emotional patterns, and coping mechanisms formed in childhood, often as a response to stress or unmet needs.

By bringing awareness to these patterns with compassion rather than judgment or self-blame, you begin to understand yourself more deeply and relate to yourself in a different way. The Compassionate Inquiry approach invites a person to deep dive within and see their little and young self from a place of compassion and love.

What is Polyvagal Theory?

Understanding what is beneath your reactions through the lens of the nervous system

Polyvagal Theory was developed by Dr. Stephen Porges. It looks at how the nervous system reacts in different settings and explores the experience of safety and unsafety in the body.

Because each nervous system responds differently, what feels safe for one person may not feel safe for another. At Saya Healing, each session becomes a gate to understand your reactions as a response to unsafety and to explore the root of feeling unsafe even when there is no real threat present.

What is Conscious Parenting?

A trauma-informed parenting approach rooted in awareness and regulation

Conscious Parenting is a parenting methodology developed by Dr. Shefali Tsabary. It is rooted in the belief that a parent’s reaction is often more about their own unhealed wounds than the child’s behaviour.

It is not about correcting a child or teaching parents how to make a child behave. It invites parents to regulate themselves so they can connect with their child and understand what the child needs in moments of challenge.
