— A word from the founder —
“The body does not lie. Healing is not about fixing what is broken — it is about remembering what was always whole.”
The Saba Method exists because I was once the person scrolling at 2am — tired, dismissed, told my pain was in my head, searching for somewhere that would actually listen.
So I became a Registered Kinesiologist. Then a Manual Osteopath. I studied trauma. I trained with elders. And I learned what every healer eventually learns.
This is the home I wish I had found. Trauma-informed. Clinician-led. Rooted in real evidence and ancient wisdom. Built for you.
Trauma-informed · Somatic · Evidence-based
Fifteen short teachings Tony shared with Saba on what it means to be alive — to be present, to grieve well, to stay in the flow. Tap through them one at a time. They are his words, preserved.

A teaching shared with permission
Anishinaabeg Elder · Ontario
What follows are his words.
Preserved, unchanged.
Sit with them slowly.
First Teaching
You did not arrive here by accident.
"I think I'm gonna make a body by myself, so I can do some of the work that I'm meant to do in this physical universe. So your mom provided the workshop. She provided the raw materials, and the nurturing it took. Then you were born."— Tony
You built it. You own it. You are responsible for it. But you are not it.
You built this body to do work only you can do.
Second Teaching
Your name is not you.
Your work is not you.
Where you come from is not you.
your name
Tap the outermost ring to let it fall away
"You're not the body. You built the body. It's you, it's part of you. You own it. But you're not your body. You're the spirit that built it."— Tony
Third Teaching
They taught you the wrong thing from the day you were born.
"From the time we're born, we're taught to do, do this, do that. All things about doing. But they never teach us about being. And our purpose is to be. That's what we're called human beings. The language conceals that information from us."— Tony
"Ask an accountant who they are.
They'll tell you they're an accountant.
But that's not who they are.
That's what they do."
You are a human being. Not a human doing.
Fourth Teaching
There is no past. There is no future.
Only memory.
"Stand on the ground. There's a meter laid down. When you step on zero — at the same time, the ten exists, a hundred exists, the ground exists. Step forward to twenty — zero still exists. A hundred still exists. So if I'm twenty-eight, one year old still exists. Twenty still exists. Eighty exists too."— Tony
Tap any moment. None disappear.
You stand at 28.
And 1, 20, 50, 80 — all of them already exist.
You at one year old. You at eighty. You right now.
All of it — exists. Always.
Fifth Teaching
They drew you a flat line and called it time.
They were wrong.
a flat line — what they call time
— but —
"Western science tries to tell us it looks like a line — that's why they call them timelines. It's hiding the truth from you. But the tree is telling you the truth."— Tony
The universe does not move in lines.
It branches.
Sixth Teaching
You are not alone in this universe.
You have helpers.
tobacco
sweet grass
sage
cedar
"Tobacco, sweet grass, sage, cedar — as helpers, to assist us, to be the way we want to be."— Tony
The plants have always been waiting for you.
Seventh Teaching · A Practice
This is the practice that changes everything.
The bowl is carved from Arjulite. Two eagles sit on its rim. They see depths beyond what you imagined.
Think of one reason to be grateful. Place it under the bowl.
Not someday. Now.
Eighth Teaching
Your ego is not your enemy.
"Just acknowledge them. Say, 'Thank you, this is not what I'm working on right now. I'm wanting to be grateful.' And keep looking for reasons to be grateful."— Tony
Thank it. Set it aside. Return to gratitude.
Ninth Teaching
Good and bad are human inventions.
"The universe is concerned about balance. As long as everything is in balance — or it keeps moving things toward balance — that's what its role is about. Because when things are in balance, they experience joy."— Tony
The universe wants only one thing: balance.
And in balance — joy.
Tenth Teaching
Is it what we think it is?
She asked Tony — the way a child asks her father. He did not laugh at the question. He answered with two stories.
When Tony's father had finished his work, he set down his body. There was no panic. No drama. He simply said, "I have finished my work here now." Weeks later, he was gone.
After the funeral, in a circle of fourteen siblings dividing what remained, Tony heard a voice — clear as anyone's in the room — say Ask for his tepee. Nobody else heard it. He listened. He asked. His sister claimed it instead. They gave it away.
Months later, the feeling came back. Every morning, on the third step of the stairs: I need a tepee. He could not stop it. He had one made. When it arrived, he did not know how to raise the poles.
At two in the morning, he met his father in a dream. Tony was fourteen, his father was younger, and his father explained the poles in exact detail. In the morning, Tony went outside, tied broom handles and broken hockey sticks together as he had been shown. They stood.
"He's not in his body, but I can still communicate with him."— Tony
Only the body is set down.
Eleventh Teaching
Then she asked about the missing.
About the weight.
In Tony's tradition, when an elder knew it was time, they walked off into the forest. Nobody saw them again. And nobody grieved them.
"Grief is caused by the way a person thinks. I just accepted that they finished their work. They're not leaving your spiritual world. They're only leaving the physical world. There's no reason to be sad about it."— Tony
They are not gone. They finished their work.
Twelfth Teaching
The eagles know something we have forgotten.
When one passes, the other does not take another. They stay single, the rest of their lives.
"Good models for people to learn from.
Like people don't learn."
The eagle is the one on the rim of the bowl. The one whose vision reaches deeper than ours.
Thirteenth Teaching
When a belief breaks, it is a real loss.
"If a person has an accident and they lose a finger, they feel that loss. It's a true loss. So when we have a belief, and that belief gets crushed or broken or changed — that's actually the same thing as losing a finger. And it's a loss."— Tony
When a role reverses — when the child becomes a parent to the parent — there is a real loss. The ceremony of gratitude does not erase it. It brings the lost thing back into balance with the rest, so it becomes part of the flow again.
Gratitude does not erase the loss.
It brings it back into the flow.
Fourteenth Teaching
You will think nothing is changing. It is.
"These minor changes add up to a big change — like climbing stairs. Every step is a minor change. But when you get to the top, it's a huge difference."— Tony
Keep going.
The top of the stairs is everything.
Fifteenth Teaching
This is the teaching that holds all the others.
"Always do your best to just stay in the flow. Because that's how the whole universe functions. And you'll find — eventually you start to find joy in that knowledge."— Tony
Stay in the flow.
That is how the whole universe functions.
Migwetch, Tony.

The Medicine Wheel is a living map of existence — teaching us that all things are in relationship. Choose a direction and receive its teaching.
Tap a direction to receive its teaching
"The eagle does not ask whether it will fly. It simply opens its wings. What vision is waiting for you to open yours?"
"The mouse does not need to see the whole horizon. It only needs to see what is directly in front of its nose. What relationship — with yourself, with another, with the land — needs your full attention right now?"
"The bear does not rush its emergence from the cave. It waits until the inner work is complete. What are you being asked to release — not to lose it, but to transform it?"
"The elders teach with silence as much as with words. What ancient knowing — from your ancestors, from your own lived experience, from the land — is asking to be remembered right now?"
Tap each stone to receive its teaching and a reflection for today.
This is a rare moment. To walk all four directions in one sitting is to hold the full Medicine Wheel within you — the vision of the East, the heart of the South, the depth of the West, and the wisdom of the North.
The old ones say: when all four directions are in balance within a person, that person becomes a healer — not because they know everything, but because they have touched all parts of themselves with honesty and courage.
Miigwetch. Thank you for walking.
Modern medicine treats the body as a machine. Indigenous wisdom knows it differently: the body is a landscape. Your bones are stone. Your blood is water. Your breath is wind. The warmth in your chest is sacred fire. When illness comes, it is not the body failing — it is the body forgetting its original nature. Healing is remembering.
Many First Nations teachings speak of Original Instructions — the way of living that was given to every being at the beginning. The salmon was given its instruction to swim upstream and feed the forest. The cedar was given its instruction to shelter and heal. You were given yours. Trauma, illness, and disconnection happen when we lose access to those instructions. The land remembers them for us.
Anishinaabemowin names for the four original medicines — the teachers that preceded all others. Your body is built from all four. Your healing must include all four.
Drawn from multiple First Nations traditions across Turtle Island — each one a complete philosophy of healing, belonging, and living well.
Indigenous wisdom and somatic science arrive at the same place by different paths. The body is not a machine. It is an ecosystem. It has rivers (blood and lymph). It has forests (the nervous system, branching like trees). It has weather (emotions that move through). It has seasons (hormonal cycles, aging, regeneration). When you heal land, you heal the body. When you heal the body, you heal the land. They are not metaphors for each other. They are each other.
Six simple practices drawn from Indigenous teachings — for reconnecting with the land that is both around and within you
The Medicine Wheel is the map of a whole life. Four directions, four seasons, four aspects of the self — physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Healing that addresses only one direction is incomplete.
Honoring the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ílwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations — the peoples of these unceded lands
The Anishinaabeg people are renowned for their intricate floral beadwork — stitched prayers in thread and glass bead, each flower a living teaching about beauty, impermanence, and the sacred web of life.
Flowers represent healing, seasons, and the medicine of each plant. The beadwork tradition keeps these teachings alive — worn on garments, carried into ceremony, gifted between families across generations.
Many First Nations peoples call North America Turtle Island. In the creation story shared across many nations, Grandmother Turtle rose from the primordial waters carrying the earth on her back — and from that foundation, all life grew.
The 13 large plates on a turtle’s shell represent the 13 moons of the year. The 28 smaller plates represent the 28 days of the moon cycle. The turtle carries time itself on her back.
