The program, recognized as a Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider, is designed to help individuals harness the profound, regenerative power of breath to foster deep healing, resilience, and conscious leadership.
Bianca’s connection to breathwork is not surface-level — it is life-long and lived. She has been practicing breathwork for over 15 years, with formal certification under traditions rooted in the rich Vedantic and Tantric lineages of the Himalayas.
Her training and personal practice honor the depth and spiritual integrity of classical breath sciences while bridging them with modern, trauma-informed approaches, making her one of the few teachers uniquely equipped to teach both the subtle energetic dimensions and the physiological foundations of breath.
Previously, Bianca founded WIPPWellness, Toronto’s premier creative wellness community, earning recognition from Refinery29, Flare, and E! News for her early, innovative focus on mental health, creativity, and holistic well-being. Under her leadership, WIPPWellness became a hub for groundbreaking conversations, featuring collaborators like StyleLikeU, Shannon Boodram, Melodi Ehsani, and Adwoa Aboah.
Now based in Los Angeles, Bianca continues to bridge wellness and creativity as a holistic breath coach for Nike, artist, and creative director. She blends her artistic vision with somatic practices, redefining how people connect to themselves, their emotions, and the world around them. Her work has led to partnerships with some of the world’s leading brands including Nike, Shopify, Google, Samsung, Durex, Adidas, Casper, Saje, Aritzia, and Tatcha.
As a sought-after speaker, teacher, and trainer, Bianca specializes in breathwork, meditation, sound therapy, and nervous system resilience. Her work brings a rare combination of depth, precision, and creativity — offering an approach to healing that is both timeless and urgently needed in today’s world.
At the core of her teaching is a simple:
When we reclaim the breath, we reclaim ourselves.
Bianca’s larger mission is to remind the world that wellness is not reserved for a select few. It is not just for the young, the privileged, or living a curated lifestyle.
Wellness is a birthright — and through her work, Bianca opens the door for all bodies, all backgrounds, and all lived experiences to find belonging, healing, and power within holistic spaces.
This program helped me see myself clearly beyond all the noise. I went into the program thinking I was going to learn the fundamentals of breathwork, and left not only with an in-depth awareness of the material, but also with a deep sense of self-reclamation and anchoring in my personal truth. I am beyond grateful for this experience and all that it taught me about the art, history, and science of the breath, as well as about myself, my personal path, and the true gift of life.

This experience has upgraded my life. I had been searching for someone to lead me on my breathwork journey, and as they say, ' when the student is ready, the teacher arrives'. Bianca's style of teaching is so powerful and gentle. The teachings in the course are approachable, understandable and also lean into ancient practices, honoring the indigenous traditions that have paved the way to modern day breathwork. The course covers the science and history beautifully, while encouraging students to add their own flare. Breathwork has truly cracked me open, helping me to heal the deepest parts of myself, and this course taught me how to confidently share the medicine with my community. Highly, highly recommended!

I recently graduated from holistic breath academy, and I can honestly say it has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. Not only has it deepened my understanding of myself, but it has also empowered me with the knowledge and tools to share this powerful practice with others. From the moment I enrolled, I felt a profound sense of opening, like I was stepping into a space where I could finally breathe, fully and freely, into my own emotions. Breathwork, in its essence, gave me permission to *feel*—to release emotions I didn’t even know were trapped inside me. The course opened up the floodgates to emotions I had been holding onto, and through the breath, I was able to move through them with grace and acceptance. It was like peeling back layers of myself that had been hidden for years, and each session brought me closer to a version of me that was more authentic, raw, and alive. What truly set this experience apart was the teacher, Bianca. She is an absolute gem—her knowledge of breathwork is vast, and her passion for the practice is infectious. Bianca’s teaching style is not only incredibly informed and intuitive, but also deeply respectful of each individual's process. She held space for us in such a compassionate and nurturing way, allowing us to explore the depths of our inner landscapes without judgment or pressure. Her presence was always calming yet inspiring, and I found myself constantly learning from her—both in terms of technique and the energy she brought into every session. She has a rare ability to make complex concepts feel accessible, and her guidance was a constant source of inspiration. This course was more than just learning a practice—it was a community experience. I felt deeply connected to my fellow participants, sharing in the vulnerability and healing that unfolded throughout the journey. Bianca’s approach to teaching fosters a sense of unity and support, making it easy to feel like you’re part of something bigger, something truly transformative. In the end, I walked away with so much more than just a certification. I gained an understanding of how to use the breath to navigate the ups and downs of life, how to hold space for others in their own emotional processes, and how to teach from a place of deep connection and authenticity. I am forever grateful for this course, for Bianca’s wisdom, and for the incredible shift it has sparked in me. I feel more whole, more aligned, and more prepared to guide others on their own healing journeys. If you're looking for a life-changing, soul-enriching experience, this course is truly a gift.
