Bianca Stawiarski, a proud Badimia and Ukrainian woman, is a centred and purpose-driven healer, mental health and Indigenous Healing practitioner, facilitator, coach, international co-author, author, change maker and speaker.
Bianca is the founder of international Indigenous social enterprise, Warida Wholistic Wellness. She's dedicated to healing through a First Nations lens, improving mental health, Indigenous Healing practices and economic empowerment through entrepreneurship. Her approach integrates her innate Indigenous knowledge, knowledge of healing combined with entrepreneurship to empower women and communities. Bianca is recognised for her work in shifting away from western medical models of dysfunction, instead focusing on healing outside of four walls. Part of this approach embraces the ethos of: gudu-guduwa (coming together) through ngardi Guwanda (listening, feeling, thinking strongly), relationship, and connection.
Bianca's PhD research explores integrating Ngardi Guwanda (thinking, feeling, listening strongly) practices in community-led women's empowerment for entrepreneurship. Bianca hopes that the outcomes from her 'We hold our own Answers' research will empower First Nations communities to choose their own paths.
A published author and international multiple award-winning entrepreneur, she's committed to creating community change.
