THE WORK.

I just finished Saadya’s eight-week men’s group, and honestly, it’s hard to put into words how much it impacted me.

The knowledge he taught us is so basic and so essential, and at the same time, it’s something I feel like so many Jewish men simply never learned growing up. And the crazy thing is that just having this simple knowledge and awareness can completely change the way we show up in our marriages and in our relationships with other people.

And it wasn’t just the information. Saadya himself was a huge part of the experience. His presence, his energy, his confidence, and especially his clarity were incredibly inspiring to be around. You could feel that he really believes in what he’s teaching and that he lives it.

For me personally, this group has had a deep impact on my relationship with my wife. I’ve already seen the difference in myself and in our relationship, and I know this is something I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life. I’m genuinely so grateful that I had the opportunity to be part of it.

As a therapist, I see these same dynamics show up in my clients all the time. And it makes me realize even more how important this work is. If men were given this knowledge and empowered to actually apply it, I really believe we could change families one at a time.

I wish Saadya tremendous hatzlacha as he continues to be marbitz this beautiful Torah. To me, what he is teaching is 100% emes, and it’s not just Torah that sounds good—it’s Torah that you can actually take into your life and your marriage and see the difference.

I’m really grateful to have learned from him, and I truly hope this Torah reaches many, many more men and families. I believe the ripple effect could be enormous, and that in its own way, it can help bring us closer to the geulah and the coming of Mashiach.

I absolutely loved being part of this group. Saadya creates such a safe, supportive, and beautifully held space where everyone feels comfortable to learn, grow, and share.

Not only did I learn so much from Saadya’s deep understanding of polarity and relationships, but I also learned from the incredible women in the group. Hearing each other's experiences and journeys was just as valuable as the teachings themselves.

I would join this workshop again and again because there is always something new to learn and gain. Every woman brings her own wisdom, and together we inspire each other to become the best versions of ourselves.

I’m already noticing a real difference in my life. I feel a shift within myself, and as a result, I’m seeing positive changes in the people and relationships around me too. I’m so grateful for this experience and would highly recommend it to any woman who wants to deepen her understanding of herself, polarity, and relationships.

I signed up with my husband and watching his shift in nervous system happening from the sideline is so beautiful and inspiring.

I signed up for Saadya's class on the recommendation of a good friend, who couldn't stop raving about it and said it would be incredibly helpful for me. I took the class on my own, without my husband, and I was a little hesitant about whether it would be as effective. I also wasn't quite sure what to expect. I can honestly say I am so grateful I did it. Saadya is wise, caring, deeply insightful, and incredibly empowering. He has a unique way of helping you better understand yourself while inspiring you to live life more fully and become the best version of yourself, for your own sake and for the people around you.

I learned so much about myself and what drives the way I think and behave. Saadya challenged me to reflect on what I truly want in order to live my fullest life and gave me, along with the other women in my group, practical tools to move forward with greater clarity and purpose. Another unexpected benefit of the class was the group itself. I didn't know any of these women beforehand, but we formed a genuine bond, and that has been another truly meaningful part of the experience.

I can't recommend Saadya's class highly enough.

Your men’s group was truly enlightening and eye-opening for me. Your teachings on masculine/feminine polarity transformed how I show up in my relationships, helping me understand the power of holding strong masculine presence while honoring the feminine. The work we did on emotional leadership — learning to feel deeply while staying grounded — gave me a whole new model of what it means to be a strong man.

I especially valued learning how to create and hold container as the masculine — something I now practice not just with my wife but in all areas of my life. It improved my communication skills and gave me a space to get vulnerable with other men, something I never realized I needed. Through this experience, I was able to forge deep bonds with people who started out as strangers. Seeing how you modeled authentic masculine leadership while sharing your own journey inspired me to do the same.

It was not only healing but also incredibly helpful in ways I didn’t expect. Your guidance on integrating shadow aspects, understanding masculine archetypes, and practicing conscious sexuality opened entirely new dimensions of personal growth for me. This group gave me tools for personal growth and connection that I’ll carry with me going forward.

This was a unique experience for me... I never experienced being a part of a group of women who are open and ready to hold space for each other. I found comfort and security in this group that I did not expect, and now I want more.

I wanted to let you know how invaluable and powerful the journey experience was for me. I had heard and read a lot about set and setting, the importance of an experienced, compassionate guide, etc. But I was still surprised at how deeply I felt how absolutely crucial these things are.

In the time leading up to the journey, the journey itself, and afterwards, I truly felt that I was in the best hands possible. The journey itself taught me things about myself on an indescribably deep level, and after the fact I could not imagine having worked with anyone else other than you. Thank you!

I learned that my power is in feeling a lack and leaning into what I actually desire—not controlling what the outcome should be... That my messy and loud is actually art and music... I don’t ever want to be quiet again.

I am nearly 50 years old, a grandfather, and I have been steeped in recovery and self-development work for at least 30 years. I have read hundreds of books and courses on self-help and have mentored and coached hundreds of business people.

I’ve worked with a coach for nine months to do inner-child work. I have taken almost every kind of psychedelic in various settings over hundreds of trips. Ten years ago I even hired a 75 year old psychiatrist in Manhattan to guide me on two MDMA-assisted psychotherapy sessions.

Still none of those experiences even scratched the surface relative to the coaching and medicine work I did with you.

My sessions with you were absolutely profound and priceless. For the first time ever, I met my inner-child — at nearly 50! — and had hours long dialogue with him. This has brought me so much healing and has improved my relationship to self, my relationship with my wife and my relationship with the world.

What I now understand is just how critical the therapeutic set and setting is. And how important the guide is in holding me in a safe container so that I can truly surrender. You did that flawlessly.

Everything about your process and presence was flawless. The preparation, intention setting, the space, the lighting, the music, the bed, the food, the nature walk, the integration and your guidance throughout — all of it allowed me to fully let go and heal.

You are deep and wide and took me to places I could not, would not and did not go on my own.

Thank you, with Love, keep shining bright ❤️

When we reached out to begin working with you, we were a mess.

My husband had recently shared with me that he’s been struggling with sex addiction for the past four years of our marriage. My husband did not have a job and I was leaning towards divorce.

Basically there was chaos and discord in our relationship and in our home. We felt distant and we were fighting and arguing basically every day.

We scheduled a consultation with you and that planted the seed for change. You shared that it is possible for us to have a loving, intimate, erotic relationship if we were willing to show up for each other.

Two days later my husband had his first session with you. A week later my husband was hired for an amazing job with major earning potential. Beyond our wildest dreams. It’s still a work in progress but my husband started taking responsibility for his part in the relationship. I began leaning more into my femininity.

My whole life I was told that the woman is responsible for the dynamic in the relationship between a man and woman. It felt so heavy, so lonely, so masculine to try and control and hold the relationship, and all the household responsibilities. It was too much.

And here you came and said to my husband, you take the lead, you take the responsibility, you show up. How liberating. How freeing. I began to find my breath. I began to feel safe in my home.

It’s not perfect but we began to feel some hope. That staying together is a possibility. That I can feel safe with my husband and call his bullshit when I see it. That he is lucky to have me and that I can be the princess in the fairy tale and in love in my marriage.

So thank you from the bottom of my heart for showing us this possibility.

Saadya has a very nuanced understanding of the human experience. With his tremendous love of people, he has the beautiful and unique blend of being as un-intimidating as he is wise.

I work with Saadya to address my fear and anxiety and with his unique approach I quickly discover its source, giving me the chance to reframe it and leave empowered. Through powerful questions and deep intuition and insight, he helps me to return to my self, to be fully in my body, embracing the present moment, and to act from my empowered masculine self.

He has a deep understanding of what most couples don’t even know they’re struggling with — particularly male/female dynamics, codependency, and what it is that kills the polarity in a relationship.

If you’re considering working with Saadya as your coach, don’t hesitate. Your investment will pay dividends in your relationship to self and others. You are worth it!

Your guidance and presence for both of us was so perfect. You were able to hold space for each of us separately and together, and with the variance of knowing me better than [my wife], you handled it perfectly.

You were able to express what I have been trying to convey to [my wife] so well, I literally had to hold back from crying. You gave me the gift of a better marriage, and I hope to be able to grow that seed. I will forever be indebted to you!

Dear Saadya,

When we first met five months ago, I told you about my 27 years of excruciating pain and everything I did to try to alleviate it – including brain surgery, and years of Fentanyl, and every traditional and alternative treatment I could find.

I suffered greatly every day starting in my 20’s, through my 30’s, my 40’s, and now into my 50’s, and the thought of continuing on like that was devastating. I only recently learned about the healing potential of the type of medicine work that you do, and I am so thankful that I was led to you.

This is so hard to describe, but I had an experience in my first journey that made it unequivocally clear that my pain, however excruciating it is, has absolutely no meaning, and is nothing to fear. This truth has remained with me, and I am no longer suffering.

In my second journey I had the overwhelming realization that I have inside me an extremely strong inner self – one that has been with me all along and has gotten me through so much hardship in the best possible way.

Before this, I actually doubted that I even had a real core. Now I know with every cell of my body that I am capable of facing any challenge, and when I falter I know I will be whole and secure in the end.

And most importantly I learned this truth: despite all the diagnoses I have been given along the way, there is nothing wrong with me.

The journeys themselves were the most wonderful, magical, life-altering experiences. Your loving presence and guidance, the care and attention you gave to every detail, the way you held a safe and embracing space.

Before experiencing those journeys, I could never have understood how fundamentally they, along with our weekly meetings and my active processing in between, would change every aspect of my life.

In our coaching sessions you not only reinforce what I received from the journeys by giving me a container in which to integrate, but you guide me towards building on all those awarenesses, and continuously growing.

I am unpacking and examining deep sadnesses that have been living inside me for many decades, and one by one they are falling away. I am discovering so many walls that I had to build to protect myself, and those are coming down as well.

I am finally experiencing all the feelings in my body that I had repressed for so many years. I fully trust my self now – a concept I did not even begin to understand before.

My life with my husband, and with my daughter, have also changed in ways they never thought possible. The life I live now is universes away from the life I lived five months ago. I feel so much love around me that I never knew was there, and the gratitude I feel is overwhelming.

I am now awake, and I love my life so much.

With tremendous love and appreciation,

Being part of this women’s coaching group with Saadya has been one of the most sacred, life-changing experiences I’ve ever had... Week by week, Saadya taught us what true femininity really is—not the watered-down version we were raised with of being the ‘good wife’ or the ‘good girl,’ but the deeply powerful, magnetic essence of feminine energy rooted in wholeness, softness, and strength.

This experience was so huge. It felt so important, and open. It felt tremendously significant and important to my life and to my relationship going both backward and forward.

Your session today was phenomenal. This is exactly what I signed up for— this is what I came for. Everything else feels like gravy. I had bits and pieces of understanding around masculine and feminine energy before, but the way you broke it down today was beautiful. Clear, deep, powerful. I’m going to go back and review it later—it was that good.

I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel... my wife is starting to lean in.

Is Saadya licensed in anything? I never checked because I don’t care. How about experience? Honesty?

I felt so comfortable and drawn to work with Saadya because he was so honest about his own experience and marriage publicly and I visually see that what he is talking about worked for him and IS working sooo well for us.

Mo and I spent SO much money on talk therapy in the past that got us nowhere other than feeling deeper resentment because the hour ended so quickly and nothing was actually being said.

Maybe it’s Saadya’s energy mixed with the pricing that makes the couple dive right in without sugar coating anything.

You are choosing to show up and do the works so say what you mean, mean what you say and do the work.

Saadya just makes both people feel totally normal no matter what you say is ✨❤️‍.

Grateful for the expansion and evolution Saadya helped us achieve.

It’s been one year since my first mushroom journey with you. Been thinking about it a lot over the day, and of course plenty throughout this year. This was by far my most revealing journey, the best experience I had on medicine. The one where I met my little real “me”. The biggest message being that my limiting beliefs are not real.

Whenever I struggle with them (and yes, I still struggle!) there is also the voice now that can fight back and fight for my real truth — that I have all the magic in me, that those limitations are an illusion. That I owe it to myself to keep fighting to uncover more and more of my inner beauty and power. And that when I stop trying or momentarily lose hope, it niggles at me, begging me to heed its call.

And I have you to thank. You were the perfect person to hold that space for me. I felt the safety that I needed to let go and dive into my journey. So much safety in that room… I tear up thinking about it, especially because I’ve discovered that a lack of safety is my number one fear. I am so grateful to you and Hashem for orchestrating that moment in time for me, those hours spent allowing me to bask in the dance of my soul.

I haven’t felt this relaxed my entire life. I might even be able to stop taking my blood pressure medication.

Most of my anxiety is completely gone. And when it starts coming back I can very, very easily reach back to what happened during that trip and keep it at bay. And whatever I learned during that trip is still guiding me till today: it’s at the forefront of my mind and guiding my every step.

So that was an absolutely life changing experience. It changed everything. And I’m going forward based on what I learned during the journey. I am eternally grateful to you for what happened that night.

The group coaching was something I chose to invest in because I wanted to invest in me... The sisterhood that was created was the most powerful thing for me. Seeing other complex women struggling with finding peace and wholeness along with me was inspiring, validating and helped me move forward on this journey.

I stopped pushing for my marriage to change and started focusing on myself—on surrendering, being honest about how I feel, and not shoving things down... But so much has shifted since your course— like night and day. I can’t even compare.

I was blessed to be included in the inaugural men’s group... It’s beautiful to feel as though you’re not alone in your struggles. Something magical happens when men get together and feel safe enough to share their challenges with a group that will listen with open, non-judgmental hearts.

I feel like we went up to the 100th floor in a very quick and effective way in that group together... I really appreciate your coaching, your brotherhood, your friendship and your genuinity.

I had no idea when I started this journey with you that I would even be addressing anything sexual. It was just another thing for me that I felt was broken about me, but I did not see it as something in my life that needed to be addressed first, because there were so many other things that I felt needed fixing.

When I started broaching this subject with you, I was uncomfortable and frankly terrified to even look at my feelings about it, let alone discuss any feelings that I had that were at all sexual in nature. I went back and forth between denying that entire part of my self, and being angry that I had lost it along the way.

You assured me that it was not only ok for us to discuss these issues, but the sexual field was actually a revealing window inward, and the way I felt about and approached my sexuality was a mirror of the way I felt about my self. I didn’t believe you fully when you first said this, but you are so SO right.

Over the past few months I have really been delving into and exploring my feelings in this sexual field, and opening up to my femininity — which is a sentence I can’t believe I am even writing. Femininity is not only something I was absolutely never ever in touch with in myself before, but something I used to see as a horribly embarrassing weakness in others.

I operated almost entirely from my masculine, and I was proud of that. I could do anything myself, I didn’t need anyone. And now that I’ve made a conscious decision to take a step down from my need to prove myself, and a step back in my relationship, and let my husband take a step forward, I see how valuable it has been to let him lead me and take care of me. And that in itself is tremendously powerful for both of us.

I am bursting with love for my new self. And my sex life is now like nothing I even knew was possible. I spent many years and decades not being aware of feeling bodily needs or urges or feelings, and even more than that, I think I was actually taking pride in actively denying them. As if admitting to sexual needs would have made me a lesser person.

Now I fully embrace all these feelings, and I am in beautiful concert with my husband in a very plentiful and extremely exciting sexual life every day.

Thank you for the past journey we did, where I was that little girl feeling so unseen, so desperately wanting to be noticed by those who love me, and feeling so hurt that it didn’t happen. I thought it was just associated with my parents, but I’m realizing that it’s a deep wound that I’ve carried throughout my life. And when something happens that triggers it, it’s a harrowing reopening of that wound.

The therapist you referred me to started helping me safely go there to start healing it. And it might’ve taken me much longer to get there had I not entered that journey under your guidance. I know it’s going to take work, but I want to heal, and so I’m going to do it.

Thank you for everything you did that night to help me journey so safely and deeply. I’m filled with immense gratitude. Hashem should bless you ad bli dai.

I watched Saadya’s masterclass as a divorced woman wanting to better understand what it truly means for a man to hold space—not just what it looks like, but what it feels like in my body. And I felt it. The depth of his presence, the way he teaches men to lead with groundedness and emotional clarity—it’s rare. This masterclass didn’t just teach theory; it gave me language, sensation, and real hope for what’s possible in relationship.

Saadya’s presentation is powerful, grounded, and refreshingly honest. His ability to model vulnerability while standing firmly in the masculine was both moving and inspiring. The way he spoke about emotional presence— how feelings simply need to be felt—was such a vital reminder in a world that often rushes past the inner experience. This was more than a presentation on masculinity. It was an invitation to deepen connection to self and others.

Saadya’s course on masculinity, marriage, and relationships is nothing short of transformative. He doesn’t just share theory—he delivers truth, hard-earned and lived, with the kind of clarity and sincerity that hits you straight in the chest. This isn’t pop-psych fluff or surface-level advice. It’s deep, rooted, and real. He walks you through crucial territory: identity, responsibility, polarity, emotional strength, leadership in the home, and how to be both grounded and giving in relationship. Every concept is tight, every session layered with insight, and all of it is delivered with warmth, humility, and purpose. What sets Saadya apart is how he packages complexity into accessible, practical guidance. He speaks like a man who’s been through it—not a lecturer, a brother. The course doesn’t just teach—it shifts something. You walk away with tools, language, frameworks— but more than that, a visceral sense of what healthy masculinity looks and feels like in the context of marriage, and what’s actually required to embody it. Whether you’re single, dating, or ten years deep into marriage, this course is a mirror, a guide, and a call to rise. Can’t recommend it highly enough. This is sacred work, masterfully done.
