About Me & My Work


I believe that what we most long for is not something we need to become—but something we need to remember.

My work is rooted in presence, embodiment, and inner alignment. I guide women who are navigating moments of transition—internal and external—and who sense that there is more of themselves waiting to be lived.

This is not work about fixing what’s broken or striving to reach an ideal. It’s about coming home to the body, listening inward, and restoring relationship with your own inner authority. From that place, clarity emerges. Choices simplify. Radiance returns.

My Path

Like many women I work with, my own journey has been one of remembering—slowly, honestly, and often by listening beneath the surface of what appeared “fine” from the outside.

Over time, I found that true change didn’t come from pushing harder or knowing more, but from learning how to be present with myself in a deeper way. When the nervous system settles, when attention returns to the body, when inner listening is restored—life reorganizes itself. This understanding shapes everything I offer.

How I Work

My approach is grounded, intuitive, and relational. I draw from modalities that bypass overthinking and invite direct experience, including:

  • Hand Analysis as a map of innate design and potential
  • Hypnotherapy and presence-based inner work
  • Ongoing journeys of embodiment, integration, and self-trust

Rather than applying a formula, I attune to the unique rhythms, needs, and inner landscape of each person. I don’t position myself as the authority over your life—I support you in reconnecting with your own.

Who This Work Is For

I work primarily with women who are:

  • Self-aware, thoughtful, and inwardly curious
  • At a threshold—midlife, transition, or reorientation
  • Ready to live from inner alignment rather than external expectation

If you’re longing to slow down, trust yourself more deeply, and live from the inside out, you’re in the right place.

Pia holds certifications in hypnotherapy, holistic health counseling, Core Awakening Journey, and Hand Analysis ~ the very same modalities she used to bring herself and others into wholeness, strength and radiance.


Working together is an invitation to return—to presence, to inner alignment, and to embodied radiance.

I offer experiences that support deep listening, nervous system settling, and reconnection with your inner compass. This work unfolds gently, at the pace your system allows, and honors your unique design.

Below are the primary ways we can work together. Each offering is an invitation to listen more deeply and live more honestly—from the inside out.

Hand Analysis

Your hands hold a blueprint of your natural strengths, challenges, rhythms, and gifts. Hand Analysis offers a grounded, embodied way of understanding how you’re wired—not to change you, but to remind you of who you are.

This work can support:

  • Greater self-understanding and self-compassion
  • Clarity around your natural way of engaging with life
  • Validation of what you’ve always sensed about yourself

Many people experience Hand Analysis as a profound remembering—one that brings relief, permission, and orientation.

Core Awakening Journey

These journeys are for women who are ready to deepen their relationship with themselves over time.

This presence-based inner work supports the nervous system in settling and reorganizing, allowing old patterns, beliefs, and responses to soften without force.

Rather than reliving or analyzing the past, we work with what’s present now—inviting awareness, safety, and integration from within.

This work may support:

  • Releasing patterns that no longer serve
  • Feeling more at home in your body
  • Experiencing greater ease, clarity, and self-trust

Sessions are attuned, gentle, and grounded in respect for your system’s timing.

Together, we explore:

  • Inner alignment and self-trust
  • Embodiment and lived presence
  • Integration of insight into daily life

This work is spacious, relational, and supportive of lasting change—not through effort, but through coherence.

A Note on Fit

This work is not about quick fixes or external optimization. It’s for women who are willing to slow down, listen inward, and meet themselves honestly. It’s right here. A bit of guidance to heal and unblock, align and allow yourself to BE yourself may be all it takes to BE the most relaxed and enlivened version of YOU. 

If you’re unsure which offering is the right place to begin, we can start with a simple conversation.

A WOMAN’S GREATEST POWER IS HER FEMININE ENERGY. Learn how to embody and value the feminine.

DURING MY THREE DECADES in corporate on Wall St and Silicone Valley, I watched women twist out of shape to adapt, fight to succeed or react when not acknowledged or treated unfairly, losing themselves in the process. 

NOT ONLY DID I SEE OTHERS go through this, I myself struggled in this way until I journeyed deep into the patterns that have us succumb to embodying the masculine energy for survival’s sake. There is a better way.

FIND YOUR TRUE SOURCE OF EMPOWERMENT. Be acknowledged and appreciated for your contributions when you discover the authenticity and freedom of being YOURSELF.


LONG AGO, I HEARD THE SWEETEST ANGELIC VOICE saying my name.  It pulled me from a deep sleep as I napped on the couch. Opening my eyes I found my two scotties — faces intently gazing at me, round-eyed, with ears flat back and tails wagging telling me they needed to go out and pee.

EVER WONDER WHAT YOUR FURRY FRIEND IS THINKING  behind that cocked head and long stare?  Or what is at the source of that questionable behavior?  Or how your deceased pet is doing?

I’LL HELP YOU HEAR WHAT YOUR PET IS WANTING TO TELL YOU  and deliver YOUR  message to them in a way that they can understand.

LET’S GET THE COMMUNICATION LINES MOVING.  Schedule your session right now.  Once I receive your scheduling and payment, I’ll email you with confirmation and Zoom video conference info.  The email will also have instructions on sending me a picture of your Sweetie. I’ll do a preliminary connection with your pet before the session.
