From Nursing Corridor to Courtroom to The Root
Ulamila Tanuma Masirewa was raised in Levuka, Fiji and now resides in Sydney, Australia, where Bula Holistic Wellness is based at 1 Mallow Place, Cabramatta West NSW 2166. From an early age, she carried a deep conviction that human life has sacred purpose—and that true healing must begin at the root of a person's story.
1. The Lesson of the Hospital (Nursing)
In hospital emergency rooms and clinical wards, I learned the intricate language of physical healing and somatic compassion. I held the hands of patients in acute pain and witnessed the miracles of modern medicine. Yet, over and over again, I observed patients returning with chronic ulcers, hypertension, and autoimmune flare-ups that were clearly fueled by unresolved emotional trauma, chronic burnout, and toxic relationships. We were treating the physical branches, but the roots remained untended.
2. The Lesson of the Courtroom (Law)
Driven by a desire to address structural and societal causes of distress, I transitioned into law. As an attorney, I worked on complex cases involving family breakdown, corporate conflict, and societal injustice. I believed that if we could fix the rules and advocate for justice, people would find peace. Yet, even when clients won their legal battles, many walked away emotionally depleted, bitter, and spiritually hollow. The law could settle disputes, but it could not heal a broken heart or grant emotional freedom.
3. The Birth of Bula Holistic Wellness
Eventually it became crystal clear that nursing and law are indispensable professions—but each addressed only a single branch of human life. The deeper question became: "What is the root?" Inspired by personal faith, life experience, and clinical neuroscience, I discovered that genuine transformation begins within. Our thoughts, emotions, beliefs, habits, relationships, and spiritual life form the soil of our existence.
Today, the mission of Bula Holistic Wellness is to help individuals discover hope, resilience, emotional freedom, and purpose through a holistic approach to well-being. We welcome people from all backgrounds while respecting each person's unique beliefs and values.
Why "Bula"? The Power of Island Wisdom
In Fiji, the word "Bula" is far more than a greeting. It is short for Ni sa bula vinaka, which literally translates to: "May you have life, and may your life be filled with goodness, vitality, and peace."
Solosolo (Community)
In traditional Fijian village culture, healing is not an isolated, clinical event. When an individual experiences grief or burnout, they are held by the community in warmth and co-regulation around the kava bowl.

Nature is a powerful vagus nerve stimulant. Our sanctuary retreats in Sydney Wellness Studio immerse you in ocean mineral waters, rainforest mindfulness hikes, and sunrise yoga to reset your nervous system.
