Trish Carriera
Trish is a maternal soul doing the work to live her human experience to the fullest. She loves dancing, singing, food, and communing with nature. As a holistic health and wellness practitioner since 2015, most of her work has involved supporting women seeking mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well-being. She does this using an array of holistic lifestyle practices and modalities such as nutrition, intuitive dance, breathwork, meditation, nature immersion, and neurolinguistic studies. Trish creates safe and sacred spaces for clients who are ready to heal, grow, and evolve.
Trish hosts transformational events, including retreats, intuitive (ecstatic) dances, women’s circles, and sacred healing ceremonies. Her experience includes one-on-one client coaching and a foundational 12-week online program to empower women. Her path was inspired by a desire to heal her body and mind after years of neglect and depletion. This all came to the surface after the birth of her youngest son. Once she began her healing journey she felt a deep calling to support others on their own journeys.
“When holding space, I intuitively provide what is needed for my clients to feel seen, heard, and supported on all levels. My purpose and passion in this life is to be of service through the supreme state of Love. All the years of work I’ve invested into creating a magnanimous life are culminating in the work I’m doing through Symbio.” -Trish
Teena Derderian
I have always intuitively held space for others and innately fostered inclusive environments everywhere I go. As I have moved through my own journey of awakening I have felt a calling to shift this offering with a greater intention of supporting others on their own journeys. I see you and am honoured to share space with you.

Dan Andronescu
As a breathwork facilitator, coach and Yoga aspirant Dan has been studying and working with the breath since 2012 through Hatha and Pranayama yoga, Wim Hof Breathing, Elemental Rhythm and BrethHOLD Meditation. As one of the first Elemental Rhythm facilitators and team member, Dan has led hundreds of classes and journeys, in group, 1-on-1, corporate, festival, and retreat settings. He has also trained 100+ breathwork facilitators.
As a personal development and self-empowerment coach Dan is the founder of Omni BEing Ascension. He guides growth & purpose-driven conscious leaders to overcome stress, overwhelm and burnout in order to live a life of vitality, presence, inner peace and freedom. He does this through discipline in expanding self-awareness through the 3 command centers: Body, Breath and Mind as captured in the Omni BEing Self-activation Process.
On a former path Dan used to work as a materials engineer, where he experienced a high stress environment that led him to endure anxiety, depression, and mental fatigue. During one of his first yoga classes in 2012, he experienced a non-ordinary state of consciousness while lengthening his exhale to a breath hold. This experience profoundly activated him on a path of deep self exploration that enabled him to find purpose, vitality and inner peace. He left the engineering field in 2017 to travel around the world in pursuit of Self study through Yoga, breathwork, primal movement and apprenticing with plant medicine.
Ariel Benavidez
Ariel creates a safe space and inspires you to dive into the subconscious and connect with your true essence. Through his breathwork facilitation and coaching, he creates experiential opportunities for people to explore their inner reality, and strengthen their intuition. His pallet of tools includes the use of the breath, music, instruments, meditation, and integration exercises. People have shared having had powerful releases of trapped emotional energy through Ariels work. It is common for people to experience such intense emotion that tears flow, yet even more common is a sense of fulfillment upon completion, lightness, and immense gratitude. Some have even expressed how breathwork provided more insight and clarity into their lives than plant medicine teachers like Psilocybin and Ayahuasca.
Liz Defreitas
Liz is deeply passionate about space holding especially within women’s circles. She invites a play of energy for self-love and creative exploration through different healing modalities. Liz has an art background having graduated from OCAD (Ontario College of Art & Design University), she is also a yoga teacher, and a Reiki Master.
“Creativity is a magical way of being. It aligns us to the emotional intelligence and loving essence of the heart. By flowing and playing with this energy we open ourselves up to a greater awareness. It’s not just about creating something material but how we can be present in this energy and reconnect to our sense of receiving.
RADICAL RECEIVING, where we nourish all the love, beauty, sensuality, and pleasure that we are here to experience without fear, guilt, or feeling unworthy. The more we are able to receive and fill ourselves up the more we can give.” – Liz Defreitas
