Pia moved from Sweden to America in 1993 to pursue a career in Medical Research at UCLA and later at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. A few years later, she was called to follow her previous schooling and life-passion in Natural Medicine and Alternative Therapies. In 1996, Pia created BodyMind LLC and has offered bodywork ever since. Her services include multiple modalities such as Acupressure, Cupping Therapy, and more from her nearly 30 years in business and studies.
Pia’s love for horses started early in life. She convinced her mother to start taking riding lessons at the age of 6, and since then, she has ridden and/or leased any horse that has been available. After 15 years of focus on being an entrepreneur and mother, Pia has found a renewed desire to be around horses. Pia found the Masterson Method® 2 years ago while searching for the next chapter of her path as a therapist, and felt it only made sense to pursue as it combined her passion for both healing and horses. The Masterson Method certification training with Becky Tenges has been humbling and life changing in many ways, teaching her a new and different view on horses and bodywork/therapy.
Pia’s vision for the future is to do bodywork with the horse and the rider/owner alike to create a well balanced team, free of tension and restrictions. Pia’s Masterson services are available to those in Western Michigan, but additional availability is possible per request.
