About Mindful Original

Meet Ivana - The Hearth Of Mindful Original

Hi, I’m Ivana Separovic — a certified therapist, nutritionist, and mental health practitioner. Originally from Slovakia, I’ve been calling sunny Perth home for the past nine years, where I live with my husband, Tony, and our little bundle of joy, Lucia. As a busy mum, I know how overwhelming life can get. Once upon a time, I meditated for 30 minutes every morning. But when Lucia was born, everything changed — I no longer had time to sit on a cushion each morning! That’s when I discovered something powerful: Mindfulness doesn’t have to mean long meditation sessions. It can be just as transformative when woven into the moments of your day.

Now, I blend my professional expertise with real-life experience to help people like you discover simple, practical mindfulness-based ways to ease stress, be more present, and navigate challenges in both mind and body—so you can feel your best every day.

FAQ

How is your approach different from traditional meditation?

Traditional, or formal, meditation is typically done in a dedicated space—such as a meditation room or bedroom—where we sit in stillness and intentionally direct our awareness. However, mindfulness allows us to take this practice beyond those moments, integrating meditation into everyday activities. This is often called informal meditation, where we exercise the same skills—awareness, presence, and inner calm—throughout different environments and situations. Many emphasise the importance of informal meditation, as it helps us maintain a sense of balance and peace throughout the day, rather than confining mindfulness to a set time in the morning.

Can I get the same benefits without practicing traditional meditation?

Formal (traditional) meditation offers the opportunity to go 'deeper' into your experience, creating space for profound self-awareness and inner stillness. On the other hand, informal meditation allows you to practice mindfulness more frequently, weaving it into your daily life. This continuous engagement makes the benefits feel more natural and deeply integrated, leading to greater balance and well-being. Thus, you can achieve the same benefits—such as greater control over your thoughts, better stress management, a deeper sense of presence, and enhanced feelings of happiness—though with a different depth and experience.

I already meditate. Can I still work with you?

Yes! If you already meditate, we can deepen and expand your practice. While traditional meditation provides structured stillness, integrating mindfulness into your daily life helps you stay present and balanced in any situation. It allows you to apply the benefits of meditation beyond your practice time.

I have no experience. Is that a problem?

Not at all! No prior experience is needed. My approach is simple, practical, and designed to fit into your daily life without feeling overwhelming. We’ll start with easy, effective techniques that help you feel more present, calm, and in control—so you can experience the benefits right away.
