‘SH’s’ Story
Story shared with client’s consent
“Savasana Private has not just helped me manage my mental health, it has helped me rebuild my life from the inside out.”
My life constituted over 45 years subjugated to a cult (from birth) with much trauma, more than 35 years battling depression and anxiety, and over 20 years struggling with alcohol. Consequently, I arrived at Savasana Private feeling exhausted, disconnected, and defined by patterns I could no longer sustain. I had spent decades in survival mode – not truly living. In that time several rehab admissions had failed to produce lasting change, and my existence was still on a dangerous trajectory. The culmination of which was several arrests, numerous charges, and even a brief stay in a maximum security jail for a 5 week detention – definitely not my finest hour, and certainly something I had never imagined.
What I experienced at Savasana was not just support, but holistic transformation.
Through the guidance of the therapists, the consistency of the support staff, and the deeply considered environment created by Shahir, I was given the space to slow down and reconnect with myself. For the first time in many years, I was able to explore my inner world with honesty and clarity, rather than shame and avoidance.
A major shift for me was reclaiming my identity. For much of my life, I had lived within an identity shaped by trauma, expectation, and survival. At Savasana, I rediscovered who I am beneath those layers – an identity grounded in self-awareness, resilience, and intention.
I also redefined my purpose. Instead of reacting to life, I now feel capable of shaping it. I have developed a stronger connection to my inner self – ‘my innerness’ – and this has brought a sense of calm, foundation, and direction.
With newly defined values guiding me I now feel more present, more resilient, and more hopeful than I have in decades.
Savasana Private has not just helped me manage my mental health, it has helped me rebuild my life from the inside out, with deep gratitude.
Many thanks and warmest regards to the whole Savasana Family,
S.H.
