Meet Your Facilitators
Giselle Gilliard
Giselle is a graduate of the Nūma Somatics Integrative Breathwork Therapy Training (400hrs).
This practice combines breathwork, somatic bodywork, and supplementary exercises to this holistic approach of working with your body, mind and spirit.

Paul Puzanoski
Paul is the founder of WUB Wellness and the WUB Society of Canada... his journey into healing and transformation was deeply personal. In 2008, he faced a profound existential crisis—struggling with thoughts of suicide and questioning everything. This led him on a path of self-discovery, immersing himself in mindfulness, breathwork, psychotherapeutics, somatic therapies, and countless other healing modalities in search of clarity, connection, and meaning.
Over the last 20+ years, Paul has worked in leadership, consulting, and event facilitation, but his true passion is holding space for others on their journey of growth and healing. His approach is not about teaching from a pedestal but walking alongside others as a fellow traveller—sharing the tools and experiences that helped him along the way.
Paul's passion is creating immersive experiences that blend science, soul, and community, helping people reconnect with themselves, their truth, and each other.

I had the pleasure of attending a WUB event a few years ago. It was my first time going to a full-day spiritual event. I was honestly a little nervous. From the moment I entered the building my anxious thoughts dissipated, everyone was so welcoming and incredibly caring. The day flowed seamlessly with so much love and thought put into every activity. It was a magical blend of light yoga, dyads, meditation and breath work. It was my first time doing breath work and I still talk about the fascinating experience I had to this day.
The whole time I felt extremely safe, honored, held and most importantly I felt 100% accepted at the level in which I was comfortable engaging in.
All of the facilitators were incredibly genuine, compassionate and completely there to support in any way needed. I can full-heartedly say that one day at WUB was a catalyst in assisting me to completely change my life and my path for my true purpose. Forever grateful for my WUB experience!~ Jennifer
