IT BEGAN PERSONALLY
Before It Became My Work, I Had to Experience It
Bianca's introduction to Psychosomatic Therapy in 2010 was not initially professional.
It was personal.
At the time, she felt deeply disconnected from herself, and the work offered another way of understanding the relationship between what she was thinking, what she was feeling and what she was experiencing through her body.
That experience changed the direction of her life.
What began as personal exploration gradually became study, clinical practice and eventually teaching.
But the personal experience of the work has remained important to the way Bianca teaches today.
Before we can become curious about another person's body, Bianca believes there is enormous value in learning to become curious about our own.
It is one of the reasons PEAT begins with personal understanding before moving into professional practice.
THE BODY BECAME THE CLASSROOM
Learning Through Experience
Bianca's exploration of Psychosomatics continued through more than 1,000 hours of BioMedical Yoga Therapy, alongside Psychosomatic Therapy, Emotional Release Bodywork, embodied energy work and years of clinical practice.
Movement added another dimension to what she was learning.
So did breath.
Touch.
Emotional expression.
Stillness
And the experience of being present with another human being.
The body was no longer simply something to analyse.
It became somewhere to learn from.
This experience continues to shape the way Bianca teaches PEAT today - bringing intellectual understanding into relationship with lived, embodied experience.
WHAT BIANCA BRINGS TO PEAT
Knowing Something Is Different From Experiencing It
Bianca is particularly interested in the space between understanding something intellectually and experiencing it through the body.
You can understand the concept of grounding.
But what does grounding actually feel like?
You can learn about emotional expression.
But what happens in your own body when emotion begins to move?
You can study posture, breath and movement.
But what changes when you begin observing your own?
Bianca's teaching continually brings the learning back to experience.Â
Not because intellectual understanding isn't important.
But because within PEAT, understanding and embodiment belong together.
Her teaching encourages students to explore the work through themselves first - noticing their own responses, patterns, emotions and ways of inhabiting their body.
From there, the way we observe another person can begin to change too.

Bringing What We Learn Back to Ourselves
For Bianca, learning Psychosomatics is not simply about accumulating more information about the body.
It is about becoming more aware of the body we are already living in.
How do I stand?
How do I breathe?
How do I respond?
What happens in my body when I feel challenged?
What happens when I feel safe?
Where do I hold?
Where do I move?
What changes when I begin paying attention?
These observations are not there to tell us what is right or wrong about ourselves.
They give us another way of becoming curious about how we have learned to meet life.
For Bianca, this is where Psychosomatics becomes something more than information.
It becomes lived experience.
LEARN WITH BIANCA
Experience Changes Understanding
Bianca teaches throughout the PEAT journey - from the Foundation Program and live teaching through to the 6-Day In-Person Training and professional practitioner pathway.
Her teaching continually invites students to bring what they are learning back to themselves.
To notice.
To feel.
To experience.
To question.
An then to observe again.
Because sometimes we can understand something intellectually for years before one experience allows us to understand it differently.
For Bianca, embodiment is where knowledge becomes lived experience.
