About the Author of My-Health-TOOLBOX...

MIA HARMAN

I was born in Stockholm, Sweden in 1962. Moving to Australia in 1989, I lived in Victoria, Queensland and the Northern Territory before settling in Adelaide, South Australia 15 years ago.

I am married with 3 children.

As a child, my driving ambition was to become a Doctor. The only thing I wanted was to get the knowledge to help sick people get better.

Thoroughly absorbed the content...

I love reading. I didn’t just read though, I read, verified, cross-referenced, studied and thoroughly absorbed the content.

I read many books, by many authors, about the early discoveries in Modern Western Medicine.

I read books that described the first vaccinations, books about Penicillin, sterilization, hygiene and so on.

My mind was set on one profession...

But, in my teens, I became critically ill, and was admitted to hospital, twice, for 10 weeks each time, with lots of visits to hospital in between admissions.

During the visits and stays in hospital I became very confused and disillusioned. There was one doctor for this, another for that, and a third and a fourth for other ‘stuff’.

A startling realization overwhelmed me… The Doctors only looked at symptoms! They were only looking at, and treating... symptoms, NOT the WHOLE PERSON.

I realized that they were looking at their patient as ‘a case’, not a person! If doctors have ‘cases’ and don’t help the whole person, then, sadly, this was not for me.

The dream of becoming a medical doctor faded, and soon after, my ambition had all but died.

I lost direction for many years.

I still loved learning and reading… with a passion! I still had the desire for healing, but started to look into the alternative ways to help people rather than ‘cases’.

The authors I studied now became more about the old way of healing. I read about the ‘wise old lady’ that helped neighbours and friends.

I studied people that had knowledge of plants and herbs.

I read anything and everything that explained the old ways, which looked at the body as a whole thing, comprising a body, a mind and all it’s emotions.

A ‘whole new world’ opened up...

A massive ‘whole new world’ opened up. So much to learn, and to realize ‘to grow up we have to take responsibilities for our actions’!!! And our health is our responsibility…

I took the opportunity to train, and became, a professional Massage Therapist 13 years ago.

I also qualified in Aromatherapy and Reflexology, in which, some say, I display a near uncanny natural ability.(Which I enjoy very much, by the way)

My clientèle is a real multiplicity of people, ranging from young children to business professionals, CEO’s and movie stars and I find myself quite in demand at the 5 star hotels in Adelaide for their international guests.

I am a distributor in South Australia for "Step Forward" Orthotics , a natural way to correct foot alignment.

I have also been welcomed in to hospitals to help treat patients.

And, by request, I have traveled to Sweden to treat clients and also to present courses in Massage and Reflexology.

To sum up, then,

Still studying...

Books in these subjects, even as a 9 year old, fascinated me.

I have been reading about alternative treatments of the whole person for the last 25 years... and I'm still studying.

My latest accomplishment was to become a qualified Youth Worker in early 2010.

I have read hundreds of books, (most of them more than once), listened to 100’s of hours of tapes and CD’s, and have attended over 50 seminars of the highest calibre.

I passionately believe that the most important aspect in every form of treatment is in looking after the WHOLE PERSON. The whole person is an inseparable combination a body, a mind and all of its emotions; none of these can exist on their own, therefore... why treat them individually?

To FEEL and BE WELL we have to have a BALANCE in LIFE!!! I believe in getting solid, fundamental knowledge in different subjects to understand what affects our Wellbeing and how we can get the most out of our life.

I have discovered and researched many ‘tools’ for personal health and wellness, which I want to share with all of you that I cannot meet in person, through the pages and links within this website, as an author; so that you are able to look after your own wellness and get the best out of your life.

I'd love to hear YOUR story...

I would love to hear your Wellness Success story.

There's a 'contact us' page for just that purpose, and to answer any wellness related questions you would like my opinion about.

I sincerely hope that using some tools from this web site will make a positive difference in your life.

With Warmest Regards,

Mia.
