What is Hakomi method?

Hakomi is a gentle yet powerful, mindfulness-based and body-centered psychotherapy grounded in five core principles: mindfulness, nonviolence, organicity, unity, and mind–body holism. It is based on the understanding that meaningful change grows from awareness rather than external tension or urgency.

In practice, this means slowing down to notice present-moment experience (mindfulness), respecting protective patterns instead of pushing through them (nonviolence), and trusting each person’s natural capacity for growth (organicity). Hakomi is grounded in the principle of unity: the understanding that mind, body, relationships, and wider systems form one interconnected whole. It also works directly with embodied experience to access core beliefs shaped by earlier life experiences (mind–body holism).

The work unfolds within a safe, attuned relationship and a shared exploration of what is happening here and now. Pia is currently in her fourth year of training with the Hakomi Institute of Mallorca and integrates Hakomi principles into her coaching. 

Ground and Bloom reflects how meaningful change unfolds

Grounding creates stability, awareness, and connection to embodied experience. From that place of safety and presence, growth can emerge naturally creating more freedom and flexibility in how we live and relate.
