My Story
I am a caring health practitioner, a passionate educator, an innovative thinker, and—if I may say—a bit of a visionary leader. Through my philosophy of Vidya~Sofia and my practice of Prime Care, I offer advice, ideas, and solutions to enhance human health and wellbeing, and to help individuals and organisations evolve into elegant expressions of superior performance.
Human wellbeing, sovereignty, and fulfilment—these are the threads that bind everything I do. From Sri Lanka to Australia, the UK, and Sweden, and onward through Europe and the USA, my journey has been shaped not just by place, but by years of deep personal inquiry into the human condition. Through it all, I have gained both a profound understanding and practical wisdom about what it truly takes to thrive, wherever one finds oneself.
I am also the author of Five Fortunes: A Guide to Fulfillment and the Universality of Human Wellbeing—a secular exploration of the human condition that maps pathways to health, happiness, freedom, tranquillity, and elation.
As a registered pharmacist (AHPRA) with over 32 years of experience, my career has been wonderfully diverse: clinical roles in NSW hospitals and community pharmacies, education and quality assurance work for the federal government, and executive sales and education positions with international pharmaceutical and biotech companies. I am a registered educator (NESA) as well, having spent more than 18 years teaching science, chemistry and physics across government and independent school sectors.
My academic path includes a Master's degree in Teaching, a Bachelor's degree in Pharmacy, and a Graduate Certificate in Commerce—all from the University of Sydney—along with a Graduate Certificate in Physics Education from the University of Canberra. I also hold a Certificate IV in Assessment and Workplace Training.
This breadth of experience across healthcare, policy, industry, and personal wellbeing has shaped me into a holistic practitioner with, I hope, a rare and valued combination of scientific rigour, philosophical depth, and commercial success.
The term Sovereignty here means personally empowered and it is an integral part of the Five Fortunes concept for wellbeing and fulfillment. Sovereignty therefore is a philosophical and educational construct and it does not imply any legal, political or government status, nor does it suggest an exemption from Australian laws, regulations or education systems.

Philosophy & Practice

Governing Philosophy
Vidya~Sofia™
Where Science Meets Wisdom
Vidya is the Sanskrit word for valid knowledge (science). Sophia is the Greek word for wisdom. Vidya~Sofia is our skillful practice of integrating scientific evidence (vidya) with practical human insight (sofia) to deliver advice, ideas, and solutions for your success.
Vidya~Sofia brings together rigorous, evidence-based expertise with a thoughtful, whole-person philosophy. It's not a one-size-fits-all approach. Each consultation is shaped around your circumstances, goals, and questions. From our first conversation to our final recommendations, Vidya~Sofia informs every aspect of your advisory experience. It is at the heart of all we do.
Prime Care™
We Are For You
Prime Care is genuine care — a deep, human commitment to acting always in your best interests and making your wellbeing the paramount consideration in every decision we make.
It begins in the smallest gestures: the warmth of a smile that recognises your humanity, a moment of attention that tells you that you matter. This extends into a continuum of care beyond a single visit — a relationship that flows across time. We remember your story, honour your progress, and adjust as your needs evolve. From this foundation of respect, we build an unwavering standard of care that places quality above quantity — because true care is never measured in volume, but in the depth of its impact on your life.
At its heart, Prime Care is simple: we treat you the way we would want those we love to be treated — today, tomorrow, and wherever your journey takes you.
