Dr Sharon Maja
Founder
Dr Sharon Maja is a Medical Doctor with 25yrs experience in the healthcare field. She has a heart for healing and helping women rediscover their true potential through various initiatives she created in the past, as well as her medical practice. She completed her Medical Degree in South Africa and relocated to Australia 20yrs ago, where she obtained further studies and completed her Fellowship in General Practice, Executive MBA at Bond University and a Certificate in Strategic Leadership for Non-Profit Organisations from Harvard Business School (Australia Branch).
She has travelled extensively globally and within Australia, working in remote, regional and Aboriginal communities where she realised a need for better mental health programmes, particularly for diverse and marginalised women who have been victims of domestic violence and divorce. It was this passion for spiritual and soul healing that propelled her to pursue A woman’s Heart.
Adversity touches all women equally no matter their status and environments and if we can find a way to connect and share our stories in a safe and nurturing space, we can create a better world for our children and loved ones.
Our Story
AWH was born from the hearts and experiences of two remarkable individuals, Dr. Sharon Maja and Ms. Lindiwe Sadza, dear friends who share the common thread of divorce in their lives.
In 2018, Dr. Sharon embarked on a quest to find experts who could help her with the complex landscape of legal matters, emotional support, and spiritual nourishment after her divorce. To her dismay, she found no single platform that could provide the comprehensive support she sought. Fortunately, her financial affairs were stable at the time, allowing her to navigate these challenges.
With the burning desire to ease the journey of other women facing similar trials, Dr. Sharon reached out to her long-time friend, Lindiwe, who was residing in South Africa. Together, they realized there was an opportunity to create the much-needed support system for women enduring this significant life transition.
AWH emerged as a beacon of hope, born from the passion to guide women through the most daunting of life's challenges within a nurturing, supportive, and secure environment.
