What Others Say

“I thoroughly enjoyed and recommend Ranjani’s meditation course…”

Ranjani has a gift in making people feel at ease and comfortable that allows them to express themselves and their inner feelings in ways that allow healing and peace.  The change is palpable in the atmosphere and in some participants even physically as their entire face changes to show this newfound peace.  I thoroughly enjoyed and recommend Ranjani’s meditation course, which helped me find peace in this busy chaotic world.

Thank you Ranjani.

“I am now at a much better place in life…”

Ranjani is truly an inspiring beautiful soul,so compassionate and wise.

Ranjani fortunately came into my life during a very stressful and challenging period.Her counselling sessions enabled me to identify the tools,strategies and technique’s to assist me in making decisions and choices that impact in an extremely positive and empowering manner.

Thanks to Ranjani’s wonderful and informative meditation classes I have been able to gain inner peace and clarity through meditation.

Due to my amazing journey with Ranjani I am now aware how the power of the mind can be utilised to bring a harmonious balance between your mind, body and spirit.

I am now at a much better place in life, enlightened, peaceful and happy thanks to Ranjani.

“I have been blessed to connect with her…”

Ranjani is a beautiful, caring, wise soul who passionately demonstrates her commitment to helping people in a gentle and affirming way. I have been blessed to connect with her on my journey.

“My journey with Ranjani has brought me to a better place in life…”

I have gained a lot from Ranjani both in the meditation workshop and with her counselling.  I have attended other meditation groups in the past but have previously not been able to meditate successfully.  This workshop was different as the group started from scratch and everything was very clearly explained as the process unfolded.  Learning four different meditation techniques allowed the individuals in the group to choose the technique or techniques that most suited them.  This is important as we are all individuals and not everything suits everyone.

Counselling was different as a one on one situation creates different dynamics to a group situation.  Here I found Ranjani to be very compassionate and understanding while still being firm when required.  Her intuitive and insightful handling of difficult situations was quite amazing during what I found a very tough journey of my own creation.  In this environment she has many very useful techniques at her disposal and she uses them to benefit her patients.  Some of these techniques were well outside my comfort zone but with persistence they have made a huge difference.

My journey with Ranjani has brought me to a better place in life and I offer a very big thank you.

“…Ranjani assisted me to transition through my treatments with grace and relative ease.”

Ranjani helped me create calmness and positivity in my life when I was going through my Cancer Treatments. Her sessions were positive and powerful and very insightful. Ranjani seemed to know just where I was at and she always had plenty of commonsense advice and wisdom. She created a special rapport during our sessions and her loving energy enveloped me even though my sessions were conducted over the phone.

I listened to her Guided Meditation regularly and I believe this and my sessions with Ranjani assisted me to transition through my treatments with grace and relative ease.

“I’m a much happier person now.”

When I walked in for my first appointment I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. But I shouldn’t have worried. Immediately, Ranjani made me feel welcome with her warm, approachable manner. I felt I was in good hands. When I left my first session, I knew I had found someone who really understood. Ranjani’s insight was amazing and her practical advice gave me techniques and tools I could use straight away. Very quickly I began to truly enjoy life.

Seeing Ranjani changed my life and gave me confidence to do things I would never have done before. I’m a much happier person now.

“I highly recommend any of Ranjani’s programs to anyone who wishes to obtain greater joy out of life.”

I undertook workshops 1 and 2 seeking to improve my general health and make some improvements in my life. I would urge anyone to do these wonderful programs as they do make a difference in your life, and I only wish they came along much earlier in mine.

Ranjani provides a friendly, caring environment; I found the group sessions to be warm and supportive and I looked forward to them every week. The programs provide you with many different strategies and alternative methods thus allowing you as an individual to select your own solution best suited to your own style. I found my own method of meditation to be a combination of a number a methods shown to us by Ranjani and this now works for me whenever I need time for some reflection and guidance.

An important aspect of these courses is that once you complete one you do not feel alone, you do feel Ranjani’s ongoing support. You know she is there for you and that knowledge somehow makes the journey forward so much easier to take.

I highly recommend any of Ranjani’s programs to anyone who wishes to obtain greater joy out of life.

“I found her support to be invaluable…”

Ranjani brings a mix of compassion, strength, innate wisdom and gentleness to her clients. She is clearly passionate about the benefits of meditation and walks her talk with grace and authenticity. I found her support to be invaluable – both nurturing and empowering, which was very important for me and enabled me to embrace life and to find my path through a very challenging time. Thank you, Ranjani.

Jill Hosken ( Black Rock, Vic)

“I will happily recommend anyone in need of guidance to Ranjani. “

I found Ranjani to have a warm, loving and very caring manner. She listened and understood with awareness and helped me to see clarity and have confidence in the situation, giving sound advice and offering tools for self-help to take responsibility for my own healing and growth. Ranjani is very welcoming and friendly and gives a feeling that whenever I need to I can always contact her.

I will happily recommend anyone in need of guidance to Ranjani. Thank you very much.

Love and light,

“Ranjani’s counselling approach allowed me to realise that there was absolutely nothing wrong with me.”

I started going to Ranjani with a seemingly overwhelming problem: that there was something wrong with me as I couldn’t make my relationship work with my partner at the time. Ranjani’s counselling approach allowed me to realise that there was absolutely nothing wrong with me. She helped me find my inner wisdom and integrity: a voice within that is ever present reminding me to trust and of course, breathe deeply. Ranjani was available for me in whatever situation and space I found myself in – be it grief, reflection, introspection, joy or clarity. Her way of being with the people she works with is completely unique and the guidance she offers is invaluable.

Bless,
R Bella (Northcote, Vic)

“…she has succeeded in helping me to see that it’s actually quite a good thing to be happy and joyful…”

Ranjani is a good listener and she allows you the space to say what you want to say if and when you’re comfortable … but she also gently challenges you with insightful questions and guides you to look at things in different ways.  It can be difficult to speak openly about our innermost thoughts and uncertainties with people we don’t know, but with Ranjani I felt safe and confident that she would respect my privacy and sensitivities without judgment.  Most specially, I think she has succeeded in helping me to see that it’s actually quite a good thing to be happy and joyful — no guilt required, no guilt allowed!

I also took Ranjani’s Level 1 meditation classes and they were just what I was looking for — practical guidance in a range of meditation techniques, a friendly open atmosphere, and uplifting discussion on topics that have the potential to make a difference to how you experience daily life.  The classes provided a place of real calm and serenity in my busy week and I found myself looking forward to each one as a sort of mini-escape!

“It was an oasis that I now know how to find more easily and seek regularly.”

It was many years ago now I met Ranjani as a physician. It didn’t take long to make the discovery that she was interested in my whole health and not just the symptoms that brought me to the clinic. She spoke to me also of the benefits of meditation and her own studies of alternative health methodologies. It was a huge and yet natural step for her to bring both learning streams together to help people like me to get to the real crux of my health issues.

In my life I have often been unable to calm the bouncing thoughts in my head, to find the spaces in between and stop there peacefully for awhile. Ranjani showed me a variety of ways to assist in finding that quiet time. It was an oasis that I now know how to find more easily and seek regularly.
In the last several years major difficult issues in my life were made easier through a more objective perspective I achieved during meditation. I found that most of my life is spent in the mind and that I had become oblivious to my body. Now I am much more aware of it and much more connected. My behaviour has changed in a healthier way and I can see and feel the difference it has made.

Although finding the ‘rest’ I get in meditation it is still a work in progress I have no doubt about it. Any or everyone can benefit in learning the techniques that Ranjani can teach. My journey has also been greatly aided by Ranjani’s counselling. She listens, she guides and when necessary she challenges you to believe in yourself. I treasure the time I’ve spent in her company, even more now than when I saw her as my local GP. She’s helped me to dress the wounds of my soul.

“I found counselling with Ranjani to be authentic, transformative, and empowering. “

They say that when the student is ready, the teacher appears.  I found counselling with Ranjani to be authentic, transformative, and empowering. Her kind manner combined with wisdom, intelligence and grace helped me to look squarely past the obvious and into a deeper place within.  This was a powerful experience, and combined with breath work and other useful strategies have provided me with important insights and practical life skills.

Namaste Ranjani!

“Ranjani was an excellent facilitator and provided a safe and friendly environment in which to share experiences.”

Having completed the first 5 week meditation workshop, I feel that I now have the tools to create a place of stillness in my everyday life. The workshops were an insightful introduction to various meditation techniques and gave me the opportunity of finding one that resonated within. Ranjani was an excellent facilitator and provided a safe and friendly environment in which to share experiences. I would wholeheartedly recommend the course to anyone who seeks to have a greater awareness of one’s Self in their life and for anyone wishing to stay positively focused on reaching their full potential.

“I feel that I am a changed person for having met you.”

Thank-you Ranjani for bringing a whole new experience to my already varied and busy life. I have found those few weeks to be very engaging and fulfilling, with lots of surprises.

I feel that I am a changed person for having met you.

In the classroom, I sometimes become impatient with my students. Soon after, I find myself reflecting and thinking very strongly that I must try harder with my special kids. So yes Ranjani, you certainly have made a big impact in the way I look upon life, and various happenings in my life.
Thank-you once again.

“I feel that the breath work has been like taking an accelerated ride to good health and living my full potential.”

Thank-you for all your support throughout the year…it has certainly been a life changing time for me (every second is life changing really)……I feel that the breath work has been like taking an accelerated ride to good health and living my full potential.

I also wanted to share with you how beneficial my friends are finding their sessions with you. They have both mentioned to me how powerful the sessions have been for them and I can see and feel it in their presence.

“Bless you for your incredible wisdom and your willingness to share it with others, Ranjani”

Recently, I was in the depths of despair. Whilst still grieving for the loss of a loved one, I found myself facing a serious illness. Luckily, a friend introduced me to Dr Ranjani Ratnam at that time, who not only helped me adjust to my immediate problems, her positive help and guidance have now begun to enhance my whole life.

Bless you for your incredible wisdom and your willingness to share it with others, Ranjani

“…what I have gained is a greater understanding of myself, my life journey, and my interactions and relationships in all areas of my life.”

I have benefited from undertaking both individual counselling sessions, as well the Journey into Self Workshop, with Ranji. More than anything else, this has been for me a journey of self-discovery and self-actualisation. While initially I sought Ranji’s assistance to help me deal with a very difficult, distressing, and challenging situation at my workplace, what I have so far gained from the process is much greater and far reaching. At one level, the sessions and Workshop certainly helped me to develop and put into place effective strategies to manage my situation at work, but at a much deeper level, what I have gained is a greater understanding of myself, my life journey, and my interactions and relationships in all areas of my life.

I have found the Workshop and counselling sessions to be inspirational and illuminating. Thanks Ranji!

Jeanette (Bentleigh, Vic)

“…I had the opportunity to learn many ways to be enlightened in self care and wellbeing.”

I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to attend 3 Meditation workshops as well as individual counselling and some Breathwork sessions with Ranjani Ratnam.

Ranjani’s warm and caring nature, along with her wonderful wisdom gave me a sense of trust that any experience with her to be a benefit to me.
The respect and acceptance she gives to herself and to those she works with is a wonderful model for me and the way I want to be.
The setting for all sessions gave me a sense of peace, relaxation and nurturing and I had the opportunity to learn many ways to be enlightened in self care and wellbeing.

The group sessions were small and offered the opportunity to share insights and experiences with other people as well as the powerful experience of group meditation.

Each experience was unique and very meaningful to me.

Thank you Ranjani and friends from the different groups.

You have touched my heart and made a difference in my life.

“She has helped me greatly in gaining clarity and insight into my life…”

I am very grateful for all the help I have received from Ranjani. She has helped me greatly in gaining clarity and insight into my life and personal challenges and I am extremely grateful.

“Ranjani’s classes are unique in their authentic transmission of wisdom, their clarity of purpose and their ability not only to heal a broken spirit but to resurrect it.”

Of the many meditation/life skill workshops I’ve attended,few have yielded more than an interlectual understanding or a momentary resolve. Ranjani’s classes are unique in their authentic transmission of wisdom, their clarity of purpose and their ability not only to heal a broken spirit but to resurrect it.

“…she reassured me that it’s ok not to feel guilty about not working or having something constructive to do.”

After spending nine years completing two degrees (Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Social Work), I came to the realisation that I hadn’t spent much time focusing on my personal wants and needs. There were too many topics to learn and too many deadlines to reach. I knew what I wanted to do in relation to the work force but I was unsure as to how to achieve the goal. This sense of uncertainty left me feeling anxious and worried about the future.

A friend of my mothers recommended that I see Ranjani to seek some help for my new journey. Ranjani and I met once a fortnight for three months and discussed a number of issue. But one thing that really helped me was that she reassured me that it’s ok not to feel guilty about not working or having something constructive to do. Ranjani emphasized that it was ok to spend some time enjoying the simple things, such as reading a book or watching a movie during the day. She encouraged me to take steps in gaining employment, but to not get caught up in a negative cycle.

By following these insightful suggestions, I was able to enjoy my own company, the company of my friends and eventually found work at a place that suited me.

“Dr Ratnam was of great support to me during a difficult time in my life.”

Dr Ratnam was of great support to me during a difficult time in my life.  She provided me with various strategies which assisted me in the practice of clearing my mind and focusing my attention on quietness and inner peace.  I still use these strategies today, some 12 months later.
