Overview:
Mika was an NYC it girl seemingly on top of the world, until her health came crashing down.
Mika spent over 5 years with debilitating chronic illnesses, the last year of which was spent mostly crawling around her house in solitude with her cats. Before finding her way out, she spent $$$,$$$ trying every functional medicine treatment under the sun. While some treatments were supportive, she took things way too far, and her world became smaller and smaller.
Then she found her path out. Mika was one of the first pioneers to apply brain retraining (aka neural retraining / limbic system retraining) to heal chronic illness including her severe chemical sensitivities. She healed all her physical symptoms this way rather quickly. However, then the panic attacks (which she never had before) began. And then she was hit by a car in Santa Monica. And then life threw her another lemon. She eventually found a new modality, and found the connection it provided to be very healing for her childhood attachment wounds.
Now 39, after first helping many people for free and seeing it works, she has been helping others for the better part of a decade as both a limbic brain retraining and Psych-K coach. You can reach her at meadowhealing.com.

A Friendly Request from Liz: Guests on my channel are for inspiration and nothing shared is medical advice. Guests are not intended for troubleshooting urgent matters over social media or email. Please consult a trusted health provider if you are in any type of distress.
Guests often love hearing gratitude for their story, but please be considerate if reaching out in terms of the content shared, length of the message, and the amount and type of follow-up questions and be mindful of a person’s time, privacy, and emotional bandwidth. If you are seeking help from a guest who is a practitioner, or a practitioner whom a guest mentions, please do not send multiple urgent emails and then cancel or no-show without compensating the person in some way. This is much appreciated and is not about anyone in particular. Also, all is good if you’ve done this before, just asking for the future.
Sending my encouragement and support!
what she said about different hormonal states lifting the veil was very potent. i feel that way with my pms. theres something that im already carrying that month that is brought to the surface with my pms. ive stopped writing off my pms and instead using it to feel into my feelings. its been very healing.
My heart is so full after this interview ❤ thank you for being transparent and vulnerable Mika. Being open and saying that we can go all in and backslide into old neurology but it doesn’t mean we aren’t getting better. And explaining how many of us are deeply feeling/ emotional and very intellectual. And the part about safety…So many gems and wisdom! Thank you for making these videos Liz 🎉 you give me hope and motivation to keep going
Wow, I resonated so deeply with this interview in so many ways. Two beautiful women spreading truth and hope. Thank you both for all your work.
Great job. I feel like I live in the rabbit hole. I don’t know what to believe but I have realized my traits are exactly as she described. I also realized that childhood trauma has affected me my whole life but I never thought it did because I always look to help other people and I always though I was so even keeled.
Mika is so sweet and inspirational. I’ve done a few psych k sessions with her.
@@danimotherofchickens479 it’s a modality to change your subconscious beliefs. Bruce Lipton talks about it in his book, the Biology of Belief
Lovely interview with lots of new information .I'm very interested in a session with Mika.Thankyou Liz for the work you do finding different people to interview ❤
Woah. This was a rollercoaster.
Thanks for watching our interview! I put timestamps in the description and how to find Mika. I also just posted the transcript of our chat on my website! Sending good vibes!
Love this, thank you! 😍
Loved this interview! ❤💙💛
What type of doctor did you see when ya got all diagnosis. Pls. X.
What is in rain that affects. ?
Please . I have watched your podcast . I relate so much to the young lady you are interviewing. Is it possible to get to be able to talk to her. I'm alone. I'm losing my home. No where to go. Homeless. I'm so frightened. Please I'm begging to speak with her. I have emfs to that frighten me to know end please can I talk to her. Thankyou Robyn Maudlin.
Robyn, sending you a big hug. I acknowledge all your fears, your struggles, and your heart. Sending my support to you. It sounds like you need emergency mental wellbeing support, and I encourage you to reach out to a charity, public service, or any friend so you're not alone. For housing support, that also might be through a charity, church, or public service, neighbor, or friend. You are not alone. I don't think Mika provides emergency free support, but she is a wonderful soul and I know has been very helpful to people. I have a lot of resources on my website. Don't give up. Things might seem scary and bad now, but I believe there are better days ahead for you.
Which of Phil's books did she read? I'd love to know which one actually outlined the steps we can implement ourselves.
I know from personally reading it that his book Get the Life You Love Now includes the steps, though it's not specific to any condition and doesn't provide troubleshooting. He just released a new book and also had at least one prior.
@@HealwithLiz Thank you! And this was such a wonderful video. (Hurray for the 70-year-old!)
I noticed that you said it bothered you when people would say ," it's all in your head" In a way it really is.. I love the book "You Are The Placebo" making your mind matter. Thought , energy, matter...I believe if you think it will work it usually does..
