Nisim Forma
The healing method

Gentle tools, in service of something larger

The transformation is the point — never the technique. These are simply the doorways Nisim uses to help you meet, and release, what you’ve carried.

TAT® — Tapas Acupressure Technique

A quiet, hands-on practice that lets the nervous system release a held emotional charge without having to relive the story.

Somatic awareness

Following sensation rather than analysis — letting the body show what the mind has worked hard to forget.

Compassionate inquiry

Spacious conversation that meets the protective part of you with curiosity instead of pressure.

Healing at the root

Most approaches quiet the symptom.
We listen to what lives beneath it.

The surface

Managing how it feels

Coping tools soothe the moment, but the pattern stays — waiting beneath the next calm season to return.

Beneath the layers

Releasing where it began

When the original emotional charge is met with safety and gently released, the pattern it held up simply has nothing left to stand on.

Meet Nisim

A steady, gentle presence to return home with

Nisim Forma is the heart of Shalva Healing. People don’t describe their sessions with him in clinical terms. They describe a feeling — of being fully met, without judgement, exactly as they are.

His work is built on a single conviction: that beneath every layer of fear and protection, your peace is still intact. He doesn’t hand you a new self to become. He helps you remember the one that was always there.

"The safest thing I can offer you is my presence and undivided attention."

— Nisim Forma, Founder of Shalva Healing

What healing sounds like

"

I broke through something I was very painfully stuck about. In our most recent session, I was able to forgive someone for the first time — for something very violating to me, over 40 years ago. Though what Nisim does seems simple on the surface, the healing I get is profound.

Yitzchok G. · Long-term client
"

In about 15 minutes, I stopped identifying with that part of me. I could feel it in my body — my shoulders relaxed, my breath deepened, and the anxiety dropped. It honestly felt like a reset.

Client · Emotional blocks & self-worth
"

Instead of only talking about emotions intellectually, I feel like I am truly processing and releasing them from within. Nisim creates a safe space where I feel supported, seen, and genuinely cared for.

Client · TAT® Therapy
"

His calm and easy nature made it so relaxing and comfortable. I was told I needed a TAT specialist — and after seeing him for some time, I was told I didn’t need it anymore.

Client · Anxiety & relationships
Why we stay stuck

The weight we learn to carry quietly

Most of us don’t struggle because something is wrong with us. We struggle because, long ago, a part of us learned to protect itself — and never learned it was safe to stop.

01AnxietyA body that stays braced, even when nothing is wrong.
02Emotional triggersSmall moments that open something far older than the moment itself.
03Self-doubtA quiet voice that questions your worth before you begin.
04Relationship patternsThe same ache, returning in new faces and new years.
05Recurring emotional painFeelings you’ve managed for so long they feel like home.

Sit with Nisim for a while

His conversation with Eli Nash is the closest thing to being in the room. Less a methodology, more a way of being with another person.
