About me
PIERA AND HER CAREER
As a former neuropsychologist, I have always been fascinated by how body, mind and spirit interact with each other. In the traditional Hawaiian health system and Lomilomi I found a catalyst for my personal development and a way to support others in their well-being and self-care path. With a holistic approach and through the “touch of Aloha”, clients find their way to more flexibility and inner stability, more freedom of movement, more vitality, sharpen their senses, reduce and manage stress better and reconnect with themselves.
