Freedom Purity Heart

Enlightenment
Through Personal Development
and Guidance

Freedom to live your highest potential.

Purity of thought and intent.

The enlightenment of the heart through kindness and compassion.

Hi, I'm Sahaja, a counsellor and spiritual teacher based in Hobart, Tasmania.
In my experience, mental health and emotional balance are an intrinsic necessity for happiness and well being. Additionally, genuine spiritual growth and personal development lead to lasting personal fulfillment.

Personally, I've spent many years committed to my own spiritual journey, travelling the world, living and studying intensely with teachers in Australia, India and the United States.

I then went on to begin teaching and working one on one with people in Byron Bay, a place known for it’s established spiritual community and culture.

A few years later after a chance trip to Bruny Island in 2008, my partner and I fell in love with the island and decided to move there and have our daughter, Shianto. Shianto was, and continues to be, our greatest gift from life, overflowing with love and joy. This was a profound time spent with my family in peaceful, nurturing seclusion.

Having chosen to make this beautiful place my home, moving to Hobart and founding Freedom Purity Heart was the natural next step in following my life’s passion and purpose.

I offers a variety of spiritual courses, workshops and retreats, and work deeply with people on a one on one basis through private sessions.

Through structured guided processes, facilitated emotional healing, counselling and meditation, my aim is to support people to find peace, passion, purpose and a sense of belonging.

A Woman's Calling

inner knowing - external action

Begins Sunday 26th August

Many women identify this calling as spiritual. A growing awareness of a direction that needs to be taken and accompanied by a sense of urgency.

“At the moment of commitment the entire universe conspires to assist you.”
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

This workshop intensive supports women who have an unfulfilled desire to actualize their calling. Who are being called to a higher service.

Those who strongly desire to resolve the issues that are holding them back and are
inspired by a serious and authentic spiritual path.

This intensive offers support and
understanding that what you're being called to do may not always be 100% clear.
There may be no clearly defined destination and your path may not make sense to others.

Sahaja combines a rare talent for deep and effective listening and presence with practical "real life" applications and exercises, which allow the client to explore and eventually reach their own conclusions and solutions. Whereas much which is defined as therapy tends to unpack the "problems" at a surface level, Sahaja's work deeply but subtlety penetrates the emotional space, where most repetitive day to day challenges have their origins. By understanding where the emotional issues lie, and what they are, one is able to shift perspectives in a way which provides a foundation for real change at a fundamental level, as opposed to quick but temporary "fixes". At all times, whether in a one on one or group setting with Sahaja, one feels that they are empowered to choose how deep they wish to travel at any given time. This creates a totally safe and nurturing environment in which to carry out this personal exploration.
I have yet to witness an individual who can make either a group or individual feel so at ease and comfortable whilst approaching subjects which are anything but easy and comfortable. For those who really wish for change and hope at the deepest of levels, working with Sahaja can only be adequately described as a blessing one gives to oneself.

I've worked intensely with Sahaja and found her to be highly flexible, adaptive and creative in responding to my ever changing needs. Her breadth of skills and knowledge were well above the norm I had experienced with most others. All of this was overlaid by an authentic, compassionate, non judgemental and professional approach.

I found her very helpful in ways others had not been. I highly recommend her if you are serious about your personal development and moving forward on your inner journey.

My Retreat Experience......
How can I put into words what needs to be experienced, to be fully understood? I attended the women’s retreat with the idea of having a mini vacation. My thoughts were to spend time in nature, connect with like minded people , eat great food, meditate, do some yoga, spend time in the sunshine etc etc. Egotistically I thought I was in a good place. I felt I had nothing left I needed to work through, that could be life changing. I had my pain issues sure, my illness, my suffering, but I really didn’t believe that my suffering could be shifted in a weekend. I’d been working on that for years after all. How wrong was I! I had an amazing healing. I do not say cure, I say healing. There is a huge difference in that which I wasn’t aware of before retreat. I wasn’t understanding the nature of my dis-ease! Post retreat I feel incredibly empowered. Its changed everything. The retreat “experience” is something that needs to be experienced in its fullness to really understand its benefits and potential. One simple tweek in understanding, in perception, is life changing! Do you want change? Are you living your truth? Is anything within you, ideas, beliefs, hindering that? Do you want to shift what you perceive un-shiftable? Change comes with taking action. I let go of limiting beliefs and opened up to a whole new potential within me. The mini holiday? It’s that too, I met amazing beautiful strong women, & made wonderful new life long connections. It’s all the things I mentioned and more... really, the essence of it can’t be expressed in words, only through the experience. I’m grateful I gave myself the experience.
