This week's guest is clinical naturopath and Pilates instructor, Bianca Wise.

I first came across Bianca at my home away from home, Bodylove in Woollahra (shout-out to Ali - a future Fine Form guest!), and I’ve been a fan ever since. Yes, she has abs of steel, but what really makes her special is her energy - vibrant, grounded, light.

In this chat, we explore her journey to becoming a globally recognised Pilates instructor and how she’s managed to grow her influence without losing the personal approach that anchors her.

This conversation is full of practical wisdom. Bianca speaks openly about the connection between stress and gut health, the importance of listening to our cycle, and why small, sustainable rituals can transform how we feel day to day. Her perspective blends movement, nutrition and self-care - reminding us that true growth doesn’t come from obsessing over numbers or appearances, but from cultivating kindness toward ourselves and finding peace within.

She truly walks her talk, and I loved unpacking the non-negotiables that keep her grounded no matter where she is in the world.

And since this chat, I’ve been paying much closer attention to my own cycle and realising how many symptoms I’d normalised or explained away. If you suspect something’s not quite right, consider this a gentle reminder: your body deserves to be listened to. Notice the patterns, write things down, trust what you feel and advocate for your body even when it’s inconvenient or unfamiliar. We’re so quick to minimise our symptoms, to push through, to tell ourselves “it’s fine.” But your body is always giving you information so listen in and look after it.

If you’d like to explore further, you can book a naturopathy consultation at balancedbybiancamelas.com or keep an eye out for her next retreat.
