The Devoted Heart
Journey into your heart, embrace the unknown, and reconnect with Your Inherent Wholeness.
STARTS NOV 20th
You’ve dedicated yourself to the path of personal and spiritual growth, cultivating awareness and insight along the way. Yet, there is a quiet whisper within—a sense that something more awaits. It’s not a lack of effort or wisdom but rather an invitation to sink deeper into the truth of your being. This journey calls you to move beyond the familiar patterns of the mind and into the profound vastness of the heart.
You find yourself:
Sensing that there is a deeper, untapped layer of your being—one that remains elusive no matter how much you meditate, reflect, or study.
Navigating relationships where true depth and resonance seem just out of reach, despite your sincere efforts.
Repeating cycles of conflict or misunderstanding, even though you recognise them and sincerely strive to move past them.
Struggling with a lingering sense of unease or dissatisfaction, as if something essential is still missing despite your extensive inner work.
Finding it challenging to fully embody the wisdom you’ve gained, as old habits and fears keep you tethered to the familiar.
Experiencing difficulty accessing your inner truth and taking decisive action aligned with it.
Feeling disconnected from the awe and wonder of life, leaving you distanced from the magic that once inspired you.
Even with extensive inner work, many miss the true depth of self-intimacy. The challenge lies in our habitual reliance on mental control and fear of the unknown.
Our world values safety in the form of certainty, leading us to cling to familiar patterns, even if they hinder our growth. True self-intimacy requires surrendering to not knowing, embracing the depth of feeling over the comfort of belief.
We are wired to choose the known over the transformative potential of the unknown, preventing us from fully embracing and living from the heart’s wisdom.
You are not alone in this journey; the challenges you face are part of a larger, shared experience rather than a personal failing. True relief comes from recognising that while you cannot change the past, you hold the power to shape your present and future.
I extend an invitation to those who are ready to listen to the quiet, transformative wisdom of the heart. Together, we will create a space imbued with compassion, radical presence, and authentic connection. This journey is for those who are willing to devote themselves fully to meaningful transformation. If you are ready to step into a journey of deep and lasting change, The Devoted Heart is here to support and guide you.
You are INVITED to give in to yourself by becoming part of

Testimonials
Allegra Monk
Actor - Sydney, NSW
“Bela is truly devoted to the truth of the heart. I have worked with countless deeply embodied facilitators, and no teacher I have ever come across compares to Bela's natural ability to meet you with love and effortlessness, exactly where you need to be met.
This work has redefined my understanding of love, and continues to prove to me that it is the most effective, forgiving and simple approach to becoming who you really are. Bela's work will meet you underneath any ideas of who you think you are, whether you like it or not. This work has authentically lived itself through my life, relationships, choices and moments of doubt and left me feeling more intimate with myself and safe to share myself with you, moment to moment.
The gratitude I have for Bela is immense, as she has single handedly allowed me to live from my heart. This work is life changing, and I have witnessed her invite countless others to live from their hearts around the world. ”
Kathryn Rollins
Web Designer - Byron Bay, NSW
“Bela’s work has really helped me to connect with myself and my heart in a whole new way. Making decisions from this place has been truly life altering in ways I cannot fully express. My relationships have totally transformed and I have been experiencing so much abundance in every area of life. I would wholeheartedly recommend Bela and her work to anyone looking to love themselves and transform their relationship to life itself.”
Asher Rubinstein
Online Business Manager & Consultant
”Growing up, I was never taught how to live in harmony with my heart. On the contrary, I was discouraged from feeling vulnerable, sad, hurt, afraid... I learned how to work hard and be decisive, but I had difficulty feeling, cultivating compassion, softening, and surrendering. This caused all sorts of challenges in my life.
Bela’s work offered me a radical shift in how I relate to myself. Her straightforward, clear approach and deep empathy create a sense of safety that I hadn't found with other practitioners.
Her work assists me, to this day, to get in direct contact with my feelings, out of the loops of suffering and straight to the core of what ever I'm facing in life.
Thanks to Bela, I’m much more in tune with my feelings, compassionate, patient, and forgiving. My relationships have deepened into richer intimacy, and I feel more fulfilled overall.
If you're considering working with Bela, I encourage you to go for it. Bela has a truly uniquely gift for guiding people on this journey.”
In a world that often feels fragmented, The Devoted Heart offers a sanctuary where the wisdom of the heart leads the way.
The Devoted Heart offers refuge from disconnection, inviting you to come home to yourself. Through courageous self-love, radical presence, and a deep heart practice, we foster a space where authentic freedom and and deep inner wisdom flourish.
This journey is for those seeking more than surface-level change—those ready to explore the depths of their shared humanity. Together, we form a circle where compassion, kindness, and honesty cultivate profound authenticity and lasting transformation.
The Process
Module 1: Inner Safety: The Essential Foundation for Growth and Healing
Discover and reconnect with the ever-present sanctuary within you that embodies complete safety and wholeness. In this module, you will be guided to effortlessly rest in your true nature, where the constant chatter of the mind subsides and the profound wisdom of the heart emerges.
You’ll explore the effortless power of resting in your true nature, where safety is not a condition to be met but an innate quality of your being. As you learn to trust this inner sanctuary, the external world loses its power to shake you, allowing your authentic self to emerge with ease.
Module 2: Embracing the Unknown: Finding Freedom in Surrender
Life is an endless dance between the known and the unknown, and it is in the unknown that the deepest truths reside. This module invites you to step boldly into mystery, welcoming it as a wise and supportive companion on your journey.
Through practices of surrender and trust, you'll learn to release the need for control and certainty, opening yourself to a deeper intelligence and flow. This openness allows your authentic self to surface, free from the constraints of conditioned beliefs and fears. As you embrace the unknown, life becomes a grand adventure filled with unexpected freedom and possibility.
Module 5: Unmasking Defences: Opening to a Deeper, More Authentic Life
In this module, you’ll explore and gently dismantle the veils that have shielded you from pain but also kept you from fully engaging with life. You’ll identify and embrace the defence mechanisms that once protected you but now limit your experience and keep you confined to the familiar. By uncovering and lovingly integrating these protective strategies, you'll foster a deeper emotional intelligence and connect more authentically with yourself and others.
This is crucial for moving beyond habitual patterns that hold you back. As you lift these veils, you don’t lose anything; instead, you gain access to the tender, raw, and profoundly real aspects of your being. Embracing these aspects will lead to a more vibrant and meaningful life, marked by greater freedom, authenticity, and inner peace.
Module 6: Choosing Love First: Embracing the Heart’s Revolutionary Path
In this transformative module, you will commit to making love your guiding principle. By prioritising love over old identities and outcomes, you’ll meet life's challenges with compassion and courage. This shift reveals your true nature as love, dissolving feelings of lack and deficiency, and leading to a profound sense of authenticity and freedom.
Choosing love first allows you to approach life with trust and openness, embracing difficulties not as obstacles but as opportunities to deepen your connection with your true self. By dissolving barriers and illusions of separation, you reconnect with your inherent wholeness, experiencing life as complete and boundless.
Embracing this revolutionary path of love will enable you to live from a place of profound understanding and trust, fostering a deeper, more authentic connection with yourself and others.
Module 3: Radical Honesty: Cultivating Deep Self-Acceptance
In this module, you’ll discover that honesty is not a pursuit but a revelation. The essence of transformation lies in embracing and expressing your true self without alteration or concealment. Through practising radical honesty, you’ll connect more deeply with your authentic being, creating space for profound self-acceptance and genuine change. This practice fosters a more truthful engagement with yourself and the world, unlocking the freedom to live authentically and fully.
Module 4: Feeling vs. Reacting: Gaining Clarity and Emotional Intelligence
In this module, we explore the crucial difference between genuine feeling and the beliefs or reactions that obscure our experience. True self-awareness emerges from connecting with the raw, unfiltered essence of direct feeling, free from mental constructs and habitual responses.
You’ll learn to separate authentic feelings from conditioned beliefs, allowing you to engage with your heart more clearly and directly. This clarity will enable you to respond to life with greater authenticity and intention, enhancing your self-awareness and fostering more genuine connections with your truth.
Module 7: Emotional Wisdom: Turning Fear, Grief, and Anger into Allies
Emotions are profound guides, pointing you toward the deeper truths of your being. In this module, you’ll learn to welcome emotions like fear, grief, and anger as sacred messengers, each carrying the seeds of transformation and deeper self-understanding.
In this module, you will explore the rich landscape of your emotional life, moving beyond mere reaction to discover the deeper currents of wisdom that each emotion carries. By embracing these feelings as allies rather than enemies, you will find clarity, compassion, and a new sense of empowerment. As you integrate the teachings of your emotions, you will uncover a deeper intimacy with yourself, and a newfound strength in the face of life’s challenges.
Module 8: Feeling as Soul and Self in Harmony
In this module, we embark on a journey to the heart of what it means to be profoundly alive. Together, we will explore how feeling is a sacred act that unites your soul and self. Embracing your full humanity, you’ll discover that the act of feeling is a gateway to the deepest realms of your being. This union of soul and self reveals the richness of your existence, imbuing your life with a sense of profound depth and purpose. By welcoming this harmony, you open yourself to an experience of life that is both deeply authentic and vibrantly alive, finding the divine dance between your inner essence and the world around you.
In this work, participants will experience the profound relief of simply being who they already are.
When we fully accept ourselves, we gain the freedom to make radical new choices in life.

Hi, I’m Bela
I offer a deep understanding of the heart, grounded in fierce love, compassion, and empathy—qualities I’ve developed through my own journey of meeting and loving myself in deeply vulnerable and challenging places.
Having worked with hundreds of individuals who, despite extensive traditional therapies and self-help methods, found whole new levels of relief and self-awareness in our work together. My clients often share that, for the first time, they’re meeting themselves with an honesty and vulnerability that transforms not only their relationship with themselves but also with the world around them.
My commitment to this work is mirrored in my devotion to my own practice. I believe I can only guide others as far as I am willing to go myself. This ongoing process of surrender, love, and self-compassion forms the core of my service.
What sets this work apart is its elegance and effectiveness. We dive straight into our personal truths, beneath layers of psychological processing and theoretical frameworks. This process allows us to shed unnecessary layers of identity, confronting our insecurities head-on and staying there until we can genuinely embrace ourselves with Love and kindness. This isn't about intellectual understanding; it's about deep, visceral feeling.
I am here to support you in reconnecting with the wisdom of your own heart and embracing the full spectrum of your human experience, from its intimate emotional facets to its expansive spiritual essence.

Reconnect with the true vastness of your being, beyond the layers of history, trauma, and conditioning.
Beneath the layers of history, trauma, and conditioning lies a boundless presence—your true self, untouched and unbroken. This training is an invitation to peel back those layers and reconnect with the vastness of your being. As you let go of old narratives and patterns, you’ll uncover a deeper, more connected experience of life—one rooted in peace, clarity, and the profound wisdom of your heart. This is not about becoming something new, but about remembering who you have always been.

It’s ideal for individuals who:
Have engaged in various forms of self-help or therapy but still sense untapped depths within themselves.
Are looking for a more profound, integrative approach that blends compassion, presence, and emotional wisdom.

If you’re ready for a transformative journey that goes beyond conventional healing, embracing a space where radical presence and heartfelt knowing thrive, The Devoted Heart may be the next step for you.

In The Devoted Heart, a key focus is distinguishing between emotion and authentic feeling.
Emotion refers to reactions shaped by the ego’s interaction with experiences, influenced by beliefs and identity. These reactions often create patterns that may not truly reflect the essence of one's experiences.
Authentic feeling, in contrast, involves directly experiencing the present moment within the body, separate from mental interpretations or assigned meanings. It represents a direct, visceral encounter with the here and now.
Participants in The Devoted Heart will gain a deep understanding and practice of this distinction, fostering a profound connection with their own authentic feelings.

A personal message from bela
After years of holding The Embodied Heart, it became clear that the time had come for a more advanced training.
This journey is about embodying more of your beautiful humanity in an environment that is both empowered and safe.
I come to this work with a fierce love and an unwavering commitment because of how it has radically transformed my life and continues to do so daily. I understand the profound pain of disconnection because I’ve lived it. This understanding allows me to empathise with your experience on a deep level.
In The Devoted Heart, we don’t give into emotional and psychological processing—we give in to ourselves, held by Love, so that whatever needs to move can do so freely and s self-liberate. This space is a courageous field of Love, where our hearts, without any agenda to heal or fix, can expose our hidden patterns at their own pace.
As you consider joining us, I encourage you to make this choice from your heart rather than your head. This is more than just a training—it’s a path to a profound connection with yourself and the world around you.
