Mima Sefrina, Saya Healing Coach
Compassionate Inquiry Certified Practitioner Polyvagal Informed Conscious Parenting Certified Coach

Mima is a trauma-informed coach. She is a Compassionate Inquiry Certified Practitioner, Polyvagal Theory Certified, and a Conscious Parenting Certified Coach. She is also an Inner Child Healing Practitioner.

Mima works deeply rooted in understanding the inner child. She built her own inner child approach from her healing journey that began when her mother passed away in 2015.

She approaches healing from a place of patience and compassion. Her motto is: “Healing is like peeling an onion, layer by layer, patiently yet consistently. Sometimes we have to pause because of unbearable tears. Yet, we continue because we need to have the onion.”

“The onion” for Mima is the inner child. We can have compassion towards our little self, but it takes courage and patience to finally meet and accept who they really are with all the love we could ever have.

Mima created Saya Healing in 2025 as a space where people can feel safe, co-regulate their nervous system, and begin to understand themselves more deeply. This work does not follow a fixed timeline. It is rooted in the belief that healing unfolds in its own way and at its own pace.

Mima’s approach is gentle, honest work. It is not about fixing who you are, because you are not broken. She is there to witness your journey back to yourself and support you in building an inner sense of home grounded in compassion and awareness.
