welcome to my website!







I’m the wife of a firefighter and mother of four amazing children. Alongside my husband, Albert, we’ve established a school for under-resourced kids and we’re currently building a dive resort and a safe house in the Philippines. I also conduct seminars to mentor pastors and spiritual leaders in the area of trauma-informed spiritual healing. Living out the promise of John 10:10, I am deeply passionate about embracing and sharing this abundant life with others!
We're on a Mission to
set the captives free



We're on a Mission to
set the captives free
Our ministries’ mission is based on the spiritual mandate from Isaiah 61:1. “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed me and sent me to bring good news to the afflicted, to bind up the broken-hearted, and to set the captives free.” We endeavor to guide individuals, including those dealing with deep-seated issues, towards healing and restoration by offering compassionate support and powerful spiritual tools. We are dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing environment where individuals can deepen their faith, rebuild their lives, and experience profound transformation. Through Spirit-led prayer, trauma-informed counseling, and tried-and-proven spiritual practices, we empower each person to find strength, hope, and renewed purpose on their journey toward wholeness.

the services
Since 2010, I have been offering personalized, in-depth spiritual counseling and prayer support for individuals seeking freedom from deep-seated inner turmoil. Each trauma-informed session is conducted in a private, safe, and professional environment. In the Los Angeles area and in the Philippines, much of my work has been focused on aiding abused women and children, including survivors of domestic abuse, sexual abuse and human trafficking. Past clients have dealt with issues like depression, anxiety, anger, addiction, suicidal ideations, low self-esteem, etc. and have experienced profound release through our spiritual techniques! Please contact Pia Hugo Ministries for more information.
ONE-ON-ONE SPIRITUAL AND
TRAUMA-INFORMED

I am committed to helping build healthier church environments and more vibrant spiritual communities.

becoming a four-faced christian
with over 500+ copies sold
Becoming a Four-Faced Christian is an intimate look into Pia Hugo’s unique journey of transformation and restoration. It’s also a WAKE-UP CALL for the Body of Christ to start meeting the deep needs of those victimized by abuse of all kinds. Pia insists that we need to leave the shallow waters of Christianity behind and risk diving deep into the “spiritual ocean,” where God reserves His richest rewards for those who truly hunger and thirst for Him. When we resurface and the broken, especially the young, SEE only Jesus in us, she says, “they will be lining up outside our church doors, demanding to be let in–instead of waiting for hours to get the latest Coachella tickets.”
