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

Mia Harman was born in Stockholm, Sweden in 1962.

Moving to Australia in 1989, she lived in Victoria, Queensland and the Northern Territory before settling in Adelaide, South Australia 12 years ago. She is married with 3 children.

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

She knew that to get into Medical School, high grades were needed in most subjects at school. All her grades were high; achieving distinction and high-distinction in most subjects!

She loved reading. She didn’t just read though, she read, verified, cross-referenced, studied and thoroughly absorbed the content.

She read many books about the early discoveries in Modern Western Medicine.

She read books that described the first vaccinations, books about Penicillin, sterilisation, hygiene and so on.

Her mind was set on one profession, only one, and nothing else

Mia 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 she 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 her… The Doctors only looked at symptoms! They were only looking at, and treating... symptoms, NOT the WHOLE PERSON.

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

The dream of becoming a medical doctor faded, and soon after, the ambition had died. She lost direction for many years.

She still loved learning and reading… with a passion! She still had the desire for healing, but started to look into the alternative ways to help people rather than ‘cases’. The books she studied now became more about the old way of healing. She read about the ‘wise old lady’ that helped neighbours and friends.

She studied people that had knowledge of plants and herbs. She 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.

Shortly after arrival in Australia, Mia found books and tapes about Personal Development.

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…

She took the opportunity to train, and became, a professional Massage Therapist 11 years ago.

She also qualified in Aromatherapy and Reflexology, in which she has near uncanny natural ability.

Mia is the sole distributor in South Australia for Step Forward Orthotics, a natural way to correct foot alignment. Mia’s clientčle is a multiplicity of real people, ranging from young children to business professionals, CEO’s and movie stars and is in demand at the 5 star hotels in Adelaide for their international guests.

She has also been welcomed in to hospitals to help treat patients. By request, Mia has travelled to Sweden to treat clients and to present courses in Massage and Reflexology.

To sum up.

Mia has always been intrigued by Anatomy and Physiology. Books in these subjects, even as a 9 year old, fascinated her. She has been reading about alternative treatments of the whole person for the last 25 years, and is still studying.

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

Mia thinks 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 which can exist on their own, therefore why treat them individually?

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

She has discovered and researched many ‘tools’ for personal health and wellness.

Mia passionately believes in sharing this knowledge with as many people as possible, so they are able to look after their own wellness and get the best out of life.
