Our Story

Welcome to The S.A.F.E. Space – a haven of healing, growth, and connection, founded by Sachiko and Caleb Nuila. With nearly 11 years of marriage, their journey took an unexpected turn as they emerged from a worldwide fundamentalist Christian cult in June 2021. Their path to freedom involved intensive healing, introspection, and a courageous dismantling of long-held beliefs.

Sachiko and Caleb's profound experience with abuse and trauma ignited their passion for deep healing, driving them to investigate the harm of religious dogma and ultimately create The S.A.F.E. Space. Having navigated the challenging process of exiting an abusive and restrictive environment, they understand the pain of disentangling from the only community they had ever known as a couple.

In their previous roles, Sachiko and Caleb guided others as leaders of small groups, mentoring individuals ranging from teenagers to young couples, but through a decision to speak up and share their experiences, they recognized the need for an alternative to conventional church-based connections. Sachiko, a former life and business coach certified in hypnosis and NLP, once cultivated a thriving hybrid community of entrepreneurs. Caleb, a graphic designer and social media manager, channels his dedication to supporting neurodivergent individuals stemming from his personal experiences with dyslexia and late-diagnosed autism.

Their life journey brought them to Greater Phoenix, where they nurture their family with their 4-year-old son, Caleb II, and their loyal dog, Ross. The S.A.F.E. Space emerged from the desire to serve a community undergoing the same pains of stepping away from traditional church structures.

Sachiko and Caleb's commitment to breaking generational cycles of abuse and sexual trauma sets the foundation for their parenting approach based on love and emotional wellness, not fear. They acknowledge their continual growth and actively seek wisdom from their network of healers, experts, and practitioners to enrich their community.

The S.A.F.E. Space is a celebration of individual uniqueness, fostering connection without the constraints of dogma. With backgrounds spanning event planning, coaching, music, design, and community building, Sachiko and Caleb unite their strengths to create a sanctuary where healing is embraced, growth is nurtured, and diverse perspectives are cherished.

Together, united in purpose, Sachiko and Caleb extend an invitation to you – to explore, heal, connect, and thrive. Join them on this transformative journey and discover that, indeed, TOGETHER we CAN impact lives, demonstrating the power of unity amidst diversity. The S.A.F.E. Space awaits, and they can't wait to welcome you into this nurturing embrace.
