Sanja has been a holistic creative arts therapist, meditation teacher, naturopath and counsellor for 20 years, combining her skills, passion and expertise into successful businesses that help people improve their mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing. 

As the founder of the College of Conscious Living since 2019, she has taught and helped hundreds of people through the Holistic Integrated Creative Arts Therapy on campus and online courses; via creative workshops; and through creative arts therapy, holistic counselling and naturopathy services.  

Professional, passionate and driven, Sanja has worked with families, children and communities to help them heal their emotional issues, encouraging self-expression and educating individuals on self-care. 

She discovered the benefits of the Holistic Integrated Creative Arts Therapy Practitioner training after completing the course herself and achieving many personal and professional breakthroughs whilst immersing herself in her love of creative and artistic expression. 

Sanja also appreciated and understood the value of the theoretical and practical teaching to her fellow students and was able to secure the highly respected and internationally accredited course content and combine it with her own extensive experience to present the courses as part of the College of Conscious Living. 

A strong advocate of ongoing professional and personal development, Sanja has achieved the following qualifications:

• Advanced Diploma in Naturopathy, with honours
• Diploma in Holistic Integrated Creative Arts Therapy (HICAT)
• Certificate in Training and Assessment
• Advanced Practitioner in HICAT Vibrational Therapy & Sound Healing
• Certificate in Meditation Teaching & Holistic Human Development
• Certificate in Chair Yoga Instruction
• Certificate in holistic counselling
• Certificate in Advanced Holistic Counselling
• Basic Certificate in Neuroptimal
• Certificate in Inner Child Work

She combines all of these skills when teaching our courses. Sanja believes it is her life’s mission to share the benefits each program offers with students and clients, while helping people discover their own truths to feel more at peace with who they are.

Our online assessor, Jenny, completed her HICAT practitioner training in January 2021 and has since moved on to support the students and Sanja with the HICAT education.

Jenny is very passionate about HICAT and the many benefits it has to offer. HICAT has captured her heart and allowed her creativity to shine through. Her favourite HICAT modality is intuitive art and authentic movement.

Not only did HICAT give Jenny her freedom of expression, but it also allowed her to truly step into her personal power, overcome long term depression and anxiety and give voice to her authentic self.

Jenny loves assisting with the course, sharing her knowledge, insights and learnings. She is committed to guiding others through their own healing journey.

Jenny is a mum of two beautiful girls and is happily married. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time in nature, having quality time with her family, reading, dancing, learning and connecting with her community.

She has big dreams, big goals and big ideas, and is an advocate for self-healing and personal development. Jenny runs her own business and women's circles combining her skills to provide a safe, multimodal approach to support and empower her clients on their journeys.
