Affirmative Healing is a space for those wishing to live their life authentically through the exploration of spirituality, and emotional and physical wellness.
In service to holistic healing and transformation, Affirmative Healing explores the return to wholeness through supportive holistic practices and psychotherapy modalities that integrate mind, body & soul. With hopes to deepen the connection to self, those we are in relationships and community with, including ancestral lineages and the planet, we aim to nurture the many aspects of life and to enjoy the rich connections that we so deeply yearn for.
Engaging in holistic healing can invite a deep love affair with life. It encourages the incorporation of ritual and ceremony into the day-to-day, and reflection of the values and gifts present in the beautiful and hard moments. It calls for a shift to presence, to know and love ourselves, and to oneness. It inspires us to intuitively move and honour our bodies and work to cultivate a connection with our body’s wisdom. By engaging in this work, we are embarking on a journey of awakening.
We are all just walking each other home

Hi! I’m Bianca,
a Registered Psychotherapist, spiritual seeker, healing guide and forever student. Welcome, it's wonderful to be in connection with you.
Affirmative Healing finds its roots in my personal journey of healing, a journey marked by the exploration of holistic practices and traditional therapy to address anxiety, grief, and self-doubt. These practices became my anchor amidst life's trials, empowering me to navigate its ebbs and flows while rediscovering my authentic self, reconnecting with different facets of my being, and cultivating self-love and trust.
This transformative experience led me to integrate mind, body, and soul into my healing approach. My offerings embody a harmonious blend of personal revelations and formal clinical training, fostering holistic healing and transformation in those I have the privilege to work with.
I exist within a universe of possibilities
