I'm Mia
Your Guide to Self Discovery
I'm an Intuitive Counselor and Integrative Wellness Practitioner living in Charlottesville, VA. My work in the world is to lead people toward healing and happiness. In my holistic wellness practice, we focus on clearing away obstacles to your potential, discovering your purpose, and then stepping into new possibilities.
How Pain Became My Super-power
I was 5 the first time my father beat me with his belt. After that, Daddy became the center of my whole world: How was his mood? Did his voice just change? What did that facial expression mean? Was I smelling Jack Daniels or Jim Beam? (That mattered.)
​
40 years later, when I discovered traditional Japanese energy balancing, the gifts of my upbringing—hypervigilance, attention deficit disorder, and high-functioning anxiety—became my superpowers as a Reiki Practitioner, Spiritual Minister, and Intuitive Counselor.
Thanks to my overdeveloped empathy and accelerated executive-function processing, I’m great at micro-monitoring situations; conducting threat assessments; observing multiple stimuli all at once; and compassionate hyper-focused dynamic problem-solving.
Through my work, I now empower other people to change their experience via their mindset and energy... READY?
I'm the type of Person who seeks the good in everything, no matter how deeply buried or how covered in muck and tears.
​
I'm also the kind of Coach who tells you when there's spinach in your teeth or when I think you're bullshitting yourself.
I'm the type of Counselor who will remind you there's a lot right with you; that your own way is often the best way, and that you're a beautiful intelligent soul having a human experience.
I'm the type of Priestess who will read your energy field and then intuitively guide you back to the source of your own answers.
I respect Processes, and adore Rituals, but I'm also solutions-oriented. I look forward instead of dwelling on what has failed.
I know from experience that faster can work just as well as slow.
I empower you to remember that you yourself created the obstacles and that you are able to make small but significant changes that have a ripple effect throughout your life.
