Meet Angela Piccione
Welcome. I’m Angela, the founder of Awakening with Angela. Trusting your body and mind to a healing professional takes a great deal of trust and safety. I invite you to consider the unique experience and philosophy I bring to this work as you choose a guide for your healing journey. You are not alone.
A Trusted, Intuitive Guide
I hold over 20 certifications and licenses in various healing modalities, including massage therapy and bodywork, sports medicine, energy medicine and more. Yet my credentials are more than professional, and are deeply rooted in a life filled with love and loss, pleasure and pain, death and rebirth.
I can empathetically relate to your struggles, because of my own journey of overcoming adversity and rebirth. Emerging from an early life that included family dysfunction, depression, sexual assault, and unhealthy relationships, I began to pursue a career in the healing arts.
My entire life’s journey has brought me here to be of service to you and has equipped me to offer support, guidance, and relief from the pain you face.
My Guiding Principles
I have learned that self-acceptance and self-love are essential, and honesty is the pathway to love and acceptance. As long as we hide who we truly are, we can’t fully love ourselves or heal from the traumas we’ve endured. I’m here to show you that self-love has the power to heal any affliction and help you find peace and contentment in your everyday life.
Every individual’s life has meaning, and you can find purpose, happiness, and self-love, no matter where you stand. You have the power to rewrite the programs that have shaped you.
If your life feels challenging and your body is in pain, if you are facing one calamity after another, know that you have the power to change. You can overcome, rebuild, and be reborn into the person you were meant to be.
