In this episode of NeuroAlchemy: A NeuroSynergy Podcast, Dr. Sarah Young sits down with Saw Myint, a Burmese-Australian practitioner who has devoted much of her life to helping people better understand the mind, reduce emotional suffering, and cultivate inner stability through awareness.
Saw shares her personal story — from early caregiving to her own multidimensional healing journey — and how this led her to develop a simple, science-informed approach she calls self-mental healthcare. For her, healing isn’t about avoiding life’s challenges, but about learning how to observe the mind, soften emotional reactivity, and reconnect with the present moment.
Together, they explore:
• Why happiness and unhappiness shift so quickly — and how perception shapes both
• How memory, imagination, and old patterns often create more suffering than the present moment itself
• The value of presence, reflection, and grounded awareness in reducing emotional overwhelm
• How simple practices can support people dealing with stress, burnout, depression, or difficult life changes
• Why healing is an everyday practice, not a single breakthrough
Saw brings a heartfelt combination of lived experience, cultural wisdom, and practical tools designed to help people return to calm, clarity, and resilience. Her perspective is gentle, universal, and grounded in a desire to reduce suffering in a world that moves too fast.

In this episode of NeuroAlchemy: A NeuroSynergy Podcast, we explore what healing looks like when it isn’t linear, glamorous, or instantaneous — but instead unfolds through quiet shifts, embodied presence, and the slow remembering of who we are.
Dr. Sarah Young is joined by Denise Elysa, a trauma-informed somatic practitioner, intuitive guide, and teacher whose work centers on helping people come home to their bodies with gentleness, truth, and deep inner listening.
Denise’s story is not about one defining moment or one modality that changed everything. It is about a decade of micro-moments — tiny inner openings — that gradually reshaped her relationship with her body, her intuition, and her identity. Her honesty will resonate deeply with anyone whose healing has felt layered, nonlinear, or hard to put into words.
Together, they explore:
• The lived reality of multidimensional healing
• How somatic awareness supports nervous system regulation
• Why intuition grows stronger when we stop forcing “breakthroughs”
• The small, accessible practices that help us soften, notice, and reconnect
• What hope looks like during seasons of exhaustion, grief, or transition
This conversation is spacious, grounded, and deeply human — a reminder that healing isn’t a single turning point, but a series of gentle returns to yourself.
