About the founder
Meet Sithara Sajeev
(nee Wijewardena)
Qualified physiotherapist, certified Clinical Pilates trainer and Certified Meditation and Mindfulness trainer.
Sithara’s path to wellness is deeply personal and profoundly spiritual. Growing up in a Buddhist family, meditation was a part of her upbringing, but its transformative power only became clear to her in her early 30s. During a time of personal struggle, Sithara turned inward, embracing meditation not as a solution to life's challenges, but as a way to navigate them with grace and resilience.
Through this practice, she experienced a profound shift in perspective, cultivating self-acceptance, compassion, and inner strength. Her journey became one of embracing all aspects of herself—strengths, struggles, light, and shadows. Inspired by this transformation, Sithara committed to extending the same compassion and openness to others.
Expertise
Sithara’s wellness journey began with a strong foundation in physiotherapy. After graduating from The University of Melbourne in 2006, she gained extensive experience working in private practice and at Cabrini Private Hospital, treating a diverse range of clients. In 2007, she discovered Pilates—a practice that not only strengthened the body but nurtured the mind.
Over the past 17 years, Sithara has worked with clients experiencing chronic lower back and neck pain, as well as athletes striving to improve their performance. Her approach goes beyond physical improvement; she empowers individuals to reclaim their bodies, confidence, and well-being.
Driven by her passion for holistic wellness, Sithara became a certified meditation and mindfulness teacher, seamlessly integrating her spiritual practice with her physiotherapy and Pilates expertise. Her holistic approach reflects her belief in the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit.
