Mika is originally from Japan and brings ancient healing secrets and wisdom to the Western world on the basis of updated Modern Medical awareness.
She currently have practice in New York City, Asheville and Charlotte, NC.
Mika started her journey as a pharmacologist to support individuals in the medical field. Soon later she obtained higher degrees in international law and pursued her career in a more global setting to serve international justice and peace. She served as a delegate of the Permanent Mission of Japan to the United Nations in New York, where she was responsible for social development and human rights. She was involved in the codification team for International Human Rights Treaties. She also served as a human rights officer/fund manager at the United Nations development agencies in New York to support the lives of women and children in developing countries from poverty, social injustice and international/internal armed conflicts.
After serving for global peace and justice for over 15 years, she was called to serve for a greater need of healing at a personal as well as the community levels. While returning to the health field, she received rare opportunities to master hidden healing secrets from original masters and embarked on her journey as a master healer and spiritual teacher.
She believes that her first half of her journey in the humanitarian field was the preparation for starting her healing practice and seeing the world with deepest “compassion.” Although she was passed on tremendous healing knowledge and tools directly from her original masters, she feels that the true learning is derived from her own life journey and witnessing people’s sufferings at various levels. “Compassion” is the true foundation of her passion for healing and spirituality.
Mika is a multidisciplinary Japanese practitioner. She is a national board certified - licensed acupuncturist; and nationally licensed pharmacist/herbalist in Japan. She is also a Reiki Master and certified Reconnective Healing® practitioner, and certified Feng Shui consultant.
Mika has mastered how to command Energy and communicate spiritually. She also mastered how to maximize the healing process in the most natural and holistic way. She takes care of her own energy on the daily basis, so that she can remain the purest in energy and therefore to serve as a
Messenger of Light. She has recently moved to Asheville, so as to live in the Nature and learn directly from the Mother Earth. She is a messenger of energy from the Blue Ridge Mountain, the oldest energy in the United States.
Mika was born and raised in Osaka, Japan, which is situated adjacent to old cities of Kyoto and Nara, where she founded her spiritual base.
She has received a Master of Science (M.S.) in Acupuncture from the Tri-State College of Acupuncture, New York; Master in Law (LL.M.) from the University of Essex, United Kingdom; Master in Law (LL.M.) and Bachelor in Law (LL.B.) from the University of Osaka, Japan; and Bachelor in pharmacology (B.Phar.) from Kobe Pharmaceutical University, Japan.
She is the author of numerous publications and articles in the field of human rights and social justice and is currently writing on healing and spirituality.
May Lee, B.A.
Mother, Wife, Healing Practitioner, Qigong Instructor, are some of the many hats worn by May. Also, she graduated in Social Sciences from the University of Western Ontario, London, Canada, and worked in various administrative assistant roles for a large Toronto law firm, the Supreme Court of Ontario and an international advertising agency, J. Walter Thompson. Eventually she stepped out of the corporate world and into that of a more nurturing one staying at home to raise two sons. Her journey with health conditions led her to be a “student of life” studying with several qigong and spiritual Masters. As she progressed in her practices she embraced all that the Universe had to offer and with that found the beauty of Oneness with all. Her quest also brought her to learn various methods to help her family and friends (Reflexology, Reiki, Quantum-Touch, Therapeutic Touch, EFT, Power Healing, Tongren, Acupressure and meditation and aromatherapy).
She remains active with the game of tennis and plays both recreationally and competitively all year round. Currently she shares her home in Toronto, Canada with the love of her life, Jim and also three important teachers – her sons, Aaron and Calvin and dog, Rex. She lives a life of boundless joy and unconditional love and these are the energies that she wishes to impart to all who enter her life. Blessings Be.
