SLP 454: There is a Kinder Way of Living with Chamilka Jayawardana

‘I just realised there is a kinder way of living life, all round. Even in the corporate world I do think there’s kinder ways of doing things and kinder ways of achieving business goals. So, I’ll be honest with you I think when I set out to do kinesiology one of my first mission statements for my business was to be able to take kinesiology back into the workforce and show people that there was a kinder way of doing things basically. And whilst it may throw things at you and might not look as if the Universe is looking after you it is, but then Aminya came my way as if it was like – well you are going to have to prove this first before you take it into the work force.’ ~ Chamilka Jawaywardana

Chamilka Jayawardana has been a director of Aminya since 2022. A qualified Kinesiologist, she is a member of IICT and ATMS, with degrees in Economics and Arts. Chamilka’s previous experience includes 10 years in the corporate sector (both public and private sector, including managerial positions). After leaving the corporate workforce in 2008, she ran her own businesses, including a Kinesiology practice since 2020.

With her business experience alongside her passion for alternative medicine, she is keen to grow AMINYA’s reputation as one of the leading schools of Natural Therapy in the country.

In this week’s Self Love Podcast Kim interviews the amazing Chamilka Jayawardana, a Sri Lankan native who grew up in Zambia and spent 20 years in Melbourne before moving to the Sunshine Coast. Chamilka shares her journey from a corporate career to running her own photography business and eventually becoming a kinesiologist and natural health practitioner.

One of the key takeaways from this interview is the power of finding the courage to start over again and again. Chamilka reflects on her decision to buy Aminya College, emphasising the importance of fresh perspectives and the willingness to step out of one’s comfort zone. She also believes in the importance of trusting the Universe and focusing on positive energy to attract opportunities, especially knowing the corporate fast-paced world and how it feels to be in the complete opposite natural therapies world.

There are discussions on traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, and natural therapies and the importance of tuning into one’s body and seeking help for emotional and physical pain. As well as the importance of self-care and natural healing methods. Chamilka believes there is a real need for individuals to take responsibility for their health and seek out the right practitioners for their needs. And she mentioned to never forget the role of sleep, nutrition, water, and nature in maintaining good health.

Chamilka shares information abvout her beautiful school, and the launch of a number of courses through Aminya College available in Melbourne and the Sunshine Coast, emphasising the importance of practical experience and clinic hours for building confidence in running a business.

Her definition of self-love is taking a break for you, as you cannot give from an empty cup.

Her favourite quote is:

DIS-TR-ACTION – you have to remove something to chase the right things
