Hello, I’m Portia!

I help I help high-achieving women like you reclaim the parts of themselves they’ve been taught to hide—especially their sensuality and sexuality. Because here’s the truth: all the self-care routines, workouts, and meditations in the world can’t fill the space left when you’re disconnected from your body’s wisdom.

I’m a trauma-trained somatic healing and sensuality coach, and the founder of The Bougie Bruja® Method.

I work with women who feel disconnected, overextended, or numb—slowing down together to soften survival patterns and reclaim pleasure that feels safe, real, and deeply their own.

My work blends sensual embodiment, somatic healing, and spiritual reclamation to support what I call a sacred unraveling—the process of shedding what was never yours and stepping into self-trust, embodied power, and unapologetic aliveness.

At the heart of this are five core pillars: Safety, Sovereignty, Sacred Sensuality, Somatic Integration, and Soul Alignment. These aren’t just concepts—they’re lived pathways for healing, wholeness, and homecoming.

Born to Filipino immigrant parents and raised at the intersection of tradition and rebellion, my life has been one of shape-shifting and soul-returning. For years, I succeeded in high-performing, masculine-driven spaces—while quietly unraveling under the weight of disconnection and suppressed desire.

Everything shifted when I began reclaiming sensuality, nervous system healing, and tantric philosophy as tools for radical self-love and embodied leadership.

Through my studies in Tantra-based intimacy, somatic integrative therapy, and holistic coaching—and over 15 years of deep personal transformation—I now support women and gender-expansive leaders in returning to their bodies, rewriting their stories, and remembering their worth.

I’m also a proud mama of a young adult and a teen, and a woman walking the path of sacred rebirth—where sensuality, spirit, and sovereignty meet in the heart of healing.

This is your invitation to turn desire into a life of embodied power and unapologetic self-love.

Are you ready to become the author of your life?

Let's connect

“I believe life is a ceremony

—and everything is a ritual.”

Who I serve: heart-led leaders who don’t want more—they want better.

Women who have built success on paper—but still feel something’s missing.

You’re the woman who gets it done. The one everyone counts on.

You carry the title, the team, the to-do list that never ends.

From the outside, it looks like you have it all together.

But inside? There’s a quiet ache—a sense that something’s missing.

I work with women who are powerhouses in the boardroom who crave that same confidence and wholeness in their personal lives. You want pleasure to feel safe, real, and yours. You want to trust yourself—not just at work, but in intimacy, in relationships, in every moment.

Through a blend of somatic therapy, tantra, and my own lived experience, I guide women to:

Build unshakable self-trust and inner peace
Experience true joy and confidence in intimacy
Transform relationships—starting with the one you have with yourself
Feel present, alive, and fully at home in your body

This isn’t mindset coaching.

It’s body-led, trauma-informed reclamation.

I believe…

Transformation doesn’t happen by becoming someone new—

It’s about returning to the woman you were, before you learned to perform your worth.

I support high-achieving women and gender-expansive leaders in softening out of survival mode and reclaiming the truth of their bodies—their sensuality, self-intimacy, intuition, and inner power.

I’m building a movement that invites women to lead not just from their titles, but from their wholeness.

If you’re ready to stop performing and start living—if you want pleasure to feel safe and real—let’s begin.

Book an alignment call with me and step into the leadership, wholeness, and embodiment you’ve been yearning for.

My Journey: From Fragmentation to Embodied Leadership

I am the daughter of immigrants, a first-gen Filipino-American raised by a traditional Catholic family who was wildly uncomfortable with discussing anything related to sex, relationships, and/or money.

I thought because of my history of growing up in a home filled domestic violence, childhood sexual trauma, and my anxiety and depression I was unworthy of pleasure.

Like many women, I was under the impression that my body, and sexuality was only for a man’s touch and I was tired of having shitty performative sex and operating under that story. I was under the impression that pleasure, ease, and bliss was something I had to earn.

For decades, I was caught in the cycle of high achievement, overcommitting, and constantly pouring into others while neglecting myself. On the outside, I had built an impressive career in tech, wellness, even competing in bodybuilding, but deep down, I felt disconnected.

It wasn’t until I began embracing my sensuality and reconnecting with my body that I understood true power doesn’t come from overextending—it comes from living in alignment with your whole self.

Through this journey of healing, I discovered that erotic energy isn’t just about pleasure; it’s about cultivating profound self-trust and intuition that can elevate every aspect of life.

Today, I help other heart-led leaders, just like you, reclaim that same sense of power, inner peace, and deep connection.

I’ve walked the path of masculine-driven success, only to discover the transformative power of softening, listening to my body, and reclaiming my erotic essence. This awakening ripples through every area of my life—from motherhood to entrepreneurship.

I combine my expertise in Somatic Integrative Therapy, Tantra, and experience as a tech leader at VSCO, I offer a revolutionary approach to leadership—one that’s grounded in holistic transformation. Through my provocative and fierce coaching style, my clients break free from societal constraints, reconnect with their bodies, and learn to lead with confidence, pleasure, and profound purpose.

Whether you're struggling to balance career and personal life or longing for deeper relationships and authenticity, I’m here to guide you toward a leadership style that integrates your full, unapologetic, powerfully, sensual radiant self.
