About Bianca Aimée
Bianca Aimée
MA (UJ) | BSW (UCT) | BA (UCT) | RYT-200
For more than 14 years, my work has been shaped by a journey of growth, learning, diverse experiences, challenges and opportunities - and by one ongoing curiosity: what helps people feel more connected to themselves, their bodies and their lives?
Today, I bring together my experience in psychology, social work, movement, fitness, coaching, bodywork and massage therapy, alongside my studies and ongoing learning in anatomy, physiology and the relationship between mind and body. I draw from an eclectic and evidence-informed body of knowledge, adapting my approach to each person's unique body, experiences, environment and goals.
My career began in photojournalism before moving into social work and psychology. I have worked with disadvantaged and vulnerable communities, providing therapeutic support and implementing empowerment and developmental programmes. I have also developed, managed and facilitated social impact campaigns and events, collaborating with corporates, media and community organisations to create awareness and extend their reach.
Along the way, my work has taken me into human resources, hospitality, communications and event management, where I have recruited and coached candidates, managed teams, and planned and facilitated events and campaigns. Each of these experiences has given me a different perspective on people, relationships, communication, behaviour and the environments in which we live.
During my Master's, I continued working across different industries while deepening my academic and professional understanding of people and society. In 2019, I lived abroad while completing my Master's and later presented my research at an international conference in Bangkok. Throughout my career, I have continued to write, communicate and share knowledge - using storytelling and education to create awareness, connection and impact.
Alongside this work, I became increasingly fascinated by the human body - anatomy, physiology, fitness, movement, breath and the relationship between mind and body. I began studying and exploring different movement practices and physical disciplines, learning from teachers and practitioners around the world and continually expanding my understanding of how the body moves, adapts, recovers and responds.
Movement has become one of my greatest teachers.
Today, I draw from this diverse background to teach mindful functional and dynamic movement, with a focus on strength, mobility, flexibility, rehabilitation and breathwork. Combined with coaching, mindfulness, bodywork and massage therapy, this allows me to work with the whole person and respond to what each individual needs.
I take a niche approach because I don't believe meaningful change comes from a one-size-fits-all formula. Instead, I draw from different disciplines, education and experience to create practices that are practical, purposeful and relevant to the person in front of me - helping them understand their body, work with it rather than against it, and develop tools they can carry into everyday life.
I work with individuals, schools, corporates and sports teams through one-on-one and group sessions, workshops, events and online offerings. Working across different settings and communities continues to expand my perspective and reminds me that there is always more to learn from other people, cultures and experiences.
At the heart of my work are connection, empowerment and authenticity.
I believe we are constantly learning from our bodies, our experiences and the people around us. I believe in working collaboratively, combining knowledge, skills and creativity to create meaningful impact.
My role is to create space for that learning - helping you understand yourself a little better, move with greater awareness, navigate life's challenges and build a more connected relationship with your body and yourself.
The ideology
Breath invites us to slow down, brings us into the present and creates the space to mindfully reconnect body and mind.
Movement is a foundation for performance, independence and health. Mobility, strength, flexibility and control are developed according to the demands of the individual.
Progress also needs curiosity. Play encourages exploration, adaptability & confidence, allowing movement to become something sustainable rather than another rigid prescription.
Bianca Aimée's approach
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to performance, recovery, movement or well-being.
Bianca Aimée draws from her knowledge and experience across functional and dynamic movement, mobility, bodywork, strength, mindfulness and massage therapy, together with her integrative background in psychology, to shape an evidence-informed approach around each individual - rather than fitting the individual into a predetermined method.
The aim is not simply to provide a bodywork or movement session. It is to understand what is happening, choose the most appropriate tools & create an approach that can evolve over time.

Client stories
Experiences shared by people who have worked with Bianca Aimée.
As someone who enjoys being physically active, injuries & niggles come with the territory. I thought I was doing my body good with general sports massage & physio treatments. I was made aware that this couldn't have been further from the truth until I met Bianca Aimée & had my first treatment. It's a completely different experience. You can feel she has a profound, in-depth knowledge of the human body in the way she works on you. Her methods are truly unique & effective. She immediately pinpointed the exact problem areas & their knock-on effects on my body. My injuries & niggles are all subsiding & I'm actually starting to feel younger. I won't let anyone else work on my body from now on. I'll continue seeing Bianca Aimée for treatments as part of my recovery process & for my long-term health & longevity. I highly recommend Bianca Aimée.
My treatment from Bianca Aimée was just what was required... fantastic deep work to resolve built up knots & stiffness. She is knowledgeable & thorough & felt the difference after the treatment. 90 minute treatment is well worth it!
I had a sports massage with Bianca Aimée & wow, my shoulder has never felt better. I came in with a really bad, stubborn sore right shoulder & she found every single trouble spot & just went deep to work it out. Feeling so much looser now. 100% recommend her, already planning my next session when I get back.
Was back from Oz for a holiday & was suffering from severe lower back pain. Bianca Aimée helped so much in releasing some of the pain for the short term, but the long term exercises have had such a great result... sleeping like a dream now.
Bianca Aimée was very clear explaining the process. My first fascia treatment. I felt the positive effect immediately = the release of muscle & tendons pain was noticeable. Bianca Aimée follow on instructions were positive & correctly diagnosed. Unfortunately I was able to continue further treatments because I returned home from my holiday. I recommend to sports enthusiasts, especially golf & surfing related injuries. Overall Bianca Aimée positive vibe has set me on path seeking the benefits of yoga.
Bianca Aimée is incredibly knowledgeable, really knows what she's doing, & takes the time to understand what's going on rather than just treating the symptoms. You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients & wants to help them feel better. I highly recommend her!
Bianca Aimée really knew her stuff. The perfect balance of insights & information & treatment. That was a proper work over, & the relief & improvement in my movement was great - thanks, will see you again soon.
Fantastic therapeutic massage. A true healer's intuition with a deep knowledge of the body & its mechanics. I've had hundreds of massages & this ranks as one of the most helpful & lasting. Highly recommend.
Great professional sports massage from Bianca Aimée. I have had a lower back issue for some time. Bianca Aimée found the root cause worked on that & my backs improving. Bianca Aimée definitely has excellent knowledge of Biomechancs & above all very strong hands.
Had a great sports massage at our place in St Francis with Bianca Aimée. I felt really good afterwards. Body felt loose, mobility returned. I can train as normal again. I highly recommend.
After a motocross accident left my shoulders & back in a shambles... Bianca Aimée managed to restore movement & get rid of the tension . Thanks B amazing job, friendly, & works
Excellent thank you
Bianca Aimée gave me an incredible massage. She really found all my stress points & helped release the tension all over. Her technique is unique & powerful. Wish I lived closed so I could book her more often. Thanks so much Bianca Aimée for a fabulous session & for fitting me in. Nicky

My experience with Bianca Aimée was very positive. She understood what I needed & what my body needed. Definitely recommend her.
I had the most memorable sports massage from Bianca Aimée. She used intuitive techniques to help me including fascia release & trigger point in addition to the deep tissue I had booked, which I had no idea I needed so much! She is so knowledgeable & gave me so much insight into how much my body needed to release all the tension that had been building from both physical work & emotional blockage. She showed me cues that my body gave, that I had not been paying attention to. Bianca Aimée is truly talented at working with a person's whole being!
Bianca Aimée incredibly knowledgeable, but just as importantly, she creates a calm, considered space - I left feeling both physically relaxed & mentally reset.
Incredible massage ! Really knows how to find the rout of the pains & relieves it fast Deep tissue is excellent! Would highly recommend!
I didn't contact Bianca Aimée for balance or to realign my energy meridian schmidian or whatever. I went to Bianca Aimée because I have sports injuries & I'm fucked. Bianca Aimée fixed me because she knows what she's doing.
Bianca Aimée is a very talented & knowledgeable therapist. She is passionate about helping people with a hands on, professional approach. Highly recommended!
Bianca Aimée arrives with her mobile massage equipment & is so knowledgeable. She gets to the route of tension & does an excellent massage that gives results. Highly recommended.
Bianca Aimée treated a flare up of sciatica with care & precision. We also uncovered a few knots I was not aware of. Would highly recommend her for the provision of holistic & caring treatment.
I cannot recommend Bianca Aimée from Breathe Move Play highly enough! Every time I'm in St Francis she is incredibly professional, always punctual, & goes above & beyond to make a clear & personalised plan to help me feel my best. From the moment I reach out, her communication is prompt & organised, & she consistently shows up on time. Bianca Aimée brings an expert level of care to everything she does. She tailors each session to exactly what your body requires, & provides thoughtful follow-up advice so you get the most out of your time with her. What truly sets Bianca Aimée apart is her reliability & commitment. I always feel in excellent hands knowing she's prepared & that makes all the difference when I'm away from home. If you're visiting or live in St Francis & want top-tier care, Bianca Aimée is absolutely the person to see!
Bianca Aimée is AMAZING!! Such & incredible healer! I am athletic & when I get injured I need someone that knows how to do deep massage whilst also really understanding the body! Bianca Aimée really knows her stuff! Highly recommended!!
Having Bianca Aimée come to your house to do a sport massage is really convenient (especially if you are in some pain!). She is very knowledgeable & helped ease some very tight muscles!
I love Bianca Aimée! If I could see her everyday I would! My body always feels new after every session with her. It's the first time I've been to a therapist that truly understands my body & knows what i need... not only is she incredible for the body but incredible for the mind & soul too!
I highly recommend Bianca Aimée for massages!! She talked me through everything & answered all my questions. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable in her profession, but also such a wonderful person, you'll leave your session both physically & mentally relaxed & renewed!!
The professionalism, quality & diligence would rival that of very few establishments boasting multiple awards. Be at ease & know that you are in good hands. Enjoy!
Bianca Aimée has been someone I can open up to & lean on during a difficult time. She pours her heart & soul into her work & you can feel her genuine care. Whether yoga, integrative coaching, massage or just talking things over, Bianca Aimée is fully invested. She comes highly recommended & now I know why for myself. I will sing her praises far & wide.
Bianca Aimée is the best. She has completely transformed my physique since starting to work with her six months ago. I had some postpartum recovery & she's gradually built up my strength & flexibility in a fun way without any two classes being the same. Both in person & online, she helps me to master the correct posture form & technique. She is a true professional bringing into play many techniques across many disciplines. Look no further than Breathe Move Play!
I highly recommend Breathe.Move.Play with Bianca Aimée for massages & mobility training. Bianca Aimée is incredibly knowledgeable & patient, & she really takes the time to learn your backstory & understand your unique needs. Each session is delivered with genuine care & deep intuitiveness. You always feel listened to, supported, & in expert hands.
On a busy trip to st Francis I was unfortunate enough to suffer from incredible back & neck pain. I reached out to Bianca Aimée & she was absolutely amazing. She took time to understand the problem & was incredibly accommodating. Her work was thorough & included aftercare advice, including stretching & rehab to ensure I did not encounter the problem again. Her knowledge was impeccable & she used a range of techniques. The relief was immediate & allowed me to resume normal activity within the same day. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you, B!!
I'm really grateful that I found Bianca Aimée - I saw her for a massage & we did a strengthening session together. She is such a lovely person & is absolutely brilliant in what she's doing. I can highly recommend her & I'm already looking forward to seeing her again when we're back in the area.
Bianca Aimée is a therapist who cares deeply about treating the root of the problem, & not only the symptom
My body has felt AMAZING after each session with Bianca Aimée. Without a doubt the best sports massages that I have ever received. She pays close attention to the areas of tension particular to your body & works through them until they're gone. I am looking so forward to my next appointment with her!!! :)
I have done quite a few sessions with Bianca Aimée, she is very calming, clear with her instruction throughout movement classes, insightful & personalises the session according to what the client needs. Some people just have the natural instinct, & she most definitely is one of those people!
Bianca Aimée is amazing. She listens to your concerns & gets to the root cause of your issues with her massage technique, also finding issues that were actually limiting your mobility but didn't realise you had. Highly recommend her.
Bianca Aimée is one a million-trillion-zillion. I have worked with many yoga teachers over the years, but Bianca Aimée stands head & shoulders above them all.
Had a great massage with Breathe Move Play to help with my shoulder pain. Bianca Aimée really knew what she was doing, working out all the tension while keeping it super relaxing. Felt a huge difference afterward - way looser & more mobile. Definitely recommend if you need some proper relief!
