Here’s your testimonial: during the last couple of months, Mira has helped my understand the underlying reasons for my negative patterns and I realized that I myself am totally responsible for my own emotions. With her respectful, gentle, and incredibly intuitive guidance, we were able to peel off layer after layer of trapped emotions and rigid belief systems very rapidly. It has made me feel empowered and totally changed the way I look at myself and other people and I am now able to recognize a triggering situation and diffuse it before my nervous system reacts. Learning about myself has also given me a better understanding of other people and I am better at handling conflicts from a place of non-judgment and compassion. I feel joy, gratitude and motivation in a way I had forgotten and so much more clarity about what I want.Turid Tarabay July 24, 2023
“I did 2 years in therapy before, I feel like it just kept me where I was. I’ve made so much more progress with you already, this is something I am going to continue” Christie, social worker, after 3 cranio sessions and 4 skype sessions

I felt So comfortable with Mira. She is very down to earth and intuitive and really seems to know what targeted support is needed naturally. She also gave me tools to take away which I am still finding very powerful. Thank you so much

“My bodywork experience with Mira was characterised by the feeling of the most enormous ‘space’ in which my system was simply able to find its own state of interconnectedness. Mira’s touch and presence is non-judgemental and never invasive (which is unusual even in bodywork), and therefore the realignment and integration that takes place is made possible in an environment of safety and trust. Perhaps most importantly, she embodies an intuitive understanding of the balance between space and boundary which enables creative regeneration to emerge from a grounded centre. I felt to be in the presence of an ally whose own continued and uncompromising exploration of bodywork and energy dynamics has evolved a consciousness which can facilitate integrative healing at its most profound.”

I didn´t know how important emotional acceptance was. At home, I’m forever glossing over my Highly Sensitive Children and their emotions as if they didn’t matter rather than acknowledging them, and I just saw what a difference it makes to accept their emotions and be with them, rather than to say ¨it was nothing, you’re alright really…¨ I can see that’s such a denial of my child’s experience and it’s not helpful. Thank you for showing me how to just be with my child and accompany her feelings so that she feels validated and safe.
Jane Renskew Graphic Designer September 23, 2020
Thank you Mira, you are a wonderful professional. Your sessions are a great support to my daughter and me. The changes in my little girl since you started working with here are noticeable week after week. Thank you for teaching us to see life with different eyes, with more hope. And to know and trust that changes are real and possible.

Mira had a profound effect on my life and that of my nine-year-old son (with ADHD) when we spent some time with her. After experiencing cranio with Mira for the first time, my son, who has an ADHD diagnosis, was calm and able to function easily where before he had been plagued by tics. The difference in his behaviour was so marked at school the next day that his class teacher phoned me up to ask what on earth had happened to him! Mira was able to connect with him and speak to him with refreshing honesty, acceptance and humour. Somehow she also gave him back his own inner connection to help him calm the tics.
I had one cranio session with Mira and I will never forget the effect it had on my body, my breathing, and my well-being. At the end of the very relaxing session, she supported me while I stood laughing, gasping, crying while all the rubbish just flew out through my feet. I have never had such a feeling of space in my body. I could breathe freely and felt that my lungs could just keep on expanding, there was so much room inside!
I must say I’ve never had an experience like the on I had with you. It’s an amazing gift that you have.
Isabel Stout Teacher, Amsterdam June 23, 2020
We tried to find answers everywhere for the emotional instability of our 8 year old son, Thomas. It seemed impossible to find the reason for his emotional disturbances that led to profound moments of unhappiness and big frustrations, even while he was asleep. With Mira he looked at his ‘hidden inside’, and she helped him find stability and peace. This was almost totally through bodywork and Mira just helping him sense himself and his emotions. His tics are gone. We don´t have to medicate him. He has grown emotionally and became a much happier kid. He is now able to express himself much better which gives him peace. He really enjoys the sessions and seems to sense how good they are for him. Its amazing that the cranio sessions could help him express and improve his schoolwork without doing any talking…

Mira is an exceptional therapist for sensitive people! I have had months of sessions with her while i was living in Bali. Her gentle touch, wise guidance and body awareness exercises helped me immensely and I continue embodying them. I will always be grateful.

Thank you for sharing your teenage book with me. WOW it is fantastic! You provide the simple, uncomplicated help with issues and concerns that teenagers struggle to understand. You suggest solutions in such a simple context. You’ve got the tone just right for teenagers to understand. Its uncomplicated yet you really get into the complex issues and make them easy to understand.
As a parent I found it hard to help my daughter through the topics you cover. Life is confusing as a teenager. You make complex issues simple to understand and explain to a teenager. I wish i had had your book at the time.
I look forward to sharing your book with the teenagers and their parents in my life. I have two teenage nephews who will enjoy your book. They have good parents but issues you cover will extend their general knowledge.Clair Marslen Life Coach, Australia October 4, 2015
Hi Mira, I’ve sent my colleague links and explained how I think your parenting support works for my whole family dynamic and how it’s a crucial part of any transformational process. The way you support both me and my children is what I am loving most about working with you. When are your books available?
Anonymous Mother London October 4, 2015
I am so grateful for what Mira taught me about ADHD/High Sensitivity – it has totally changed our family life. All I can say is that I didn’t realise that my daughter’s ADHD diagnosis was influenced by me being so stressed and not taking time to appreciate her for the amazing being she is. I also didn’t understand the ADHD/High Sensitivity connections , or that she needs much more creative stimulation. You basically showed me how to give her what she needs. We only did three or four sessions with you, but needless to say, she no longer has ADHD. And now I can work full time and still make sure she is thriving.
Through working with Mira I learnt how my energy as a parent affects my children’s feelings and the way they act. I got how important it is to not bring negative energy into the house after work. Now i take time to go have a shower and get into a good mood so that the kids’ happy energy isn’t put down. When my daughter needs me, I listen to her, let her open up and talk, without me giving off stressful energy. I give her confidence by telling her how proud and happy I am for her giving something a go & by encouraging her to be herself. What could be more important than encouraging my children to be happy and secure by accepting and loving how they are? I just didn’t realise how important it is. I can’t wait to read the parenting book!

Mira’s clarity is so unusual – her sessions are genuinely supportive and empowering, which is a rare find. I feel she really gets all of me, like no-one else. And as a Highly Sensitive Person thats a really valuable experience.
Sarah Fayrfax Financial Manager, London October 4, 2015
Through working with Mira I’ve learnt how a mother’s energy can be so heavy on the children. I learnt to feel myself and not to overwhelm them. When I approach the kids, I tune in. I sensitize myself to feeling them and do it in a way they can handle. I can actually feel them now. Sometimes I still forget and then I appologise for being rough or loud. Mira made me aware how soft and perceptive they are, and now I can sense that, I often feel like cuddling them… I can acknowledge their emotions, and I can say “I can see that you are sad, but mummy said no” and there is so much more understanding and communication. They are less angry, they understand too. You can see the shift. The work I’ve done with Mira is very present in my daily approach to my children and family.”

Our 10-year-old daughter Inca gets migraines. Over the past 18 months, Mira has not only helped with the severity and frequency of the migraines but also with our understanding of what triggers them and how to cope with them. She has supported us in helping Inca, and supported Inca in helping and healing herself. Inca enjoys seeing Mira weekly and from my observation, Mira has a very unique way of hearing and clarifying her needs. We are extremely grateful to Mira for all her advice and support and we can happily say there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Latest update: No more migraines. After a few months of supplements and detox plus pacing her activities Inca has been migraine-free for over two months and we think that’s the end of it.

LIEBE MIRA!!!Wir möchten uns nochmal herzlichst für Deine wunderbare Betreuung und Professionalität bedanken. Wir sind so dankbar, dass wir das Glück hatten, dass Du uns auf unserer Reise begleiten durftest.Von ganzem Herzen – herzlichen DANK. Martina, Rian, Nalin.
Mira hat uns schon seit der Schwangerschaft begleitet und wir haben immer wieder Cranio Sessions mit ihr gemacht. So profitierten wir schon vor Ankunft unserer Sohnes Nalin´s von Mira’s Wissen und Können. Wir können gar nicht beschreiben, wie unglaublich gut es uns – und vor allem unserem Sohn Nalin jedes Mal getan hat – und jedes Mal, wenn wir das Gefühl hatten, der kleine wird a bisserl ‘unrund’ , wie wir es nannten, war es wieder an der Zeit eine Session mit Mira zu haben. Oft war es einfach, dass Nalin quengliger war, schlechter schlief, – all das war jedes mal einfach wieder gut, und der kleine Mann wieder sich selber. Ich kann mich auch noch gut an die Session erinnern, wo Mira an der form seinem Schädel gearbeitet hat… und wir tatsächlich sehen konnten, wie sich alles in die richtige position rückte….. einfach unglaublich.

I met Mira at a very unstable time in my life as my Highly Sensitive three-year-old daughter was suffering severally from eczema. As confronted as I was by my own unhappiness, Mira was able to allow me to see the feelings I was desperately trying to deny, and to support me, my husband, and my children with her undeniable calm and gentle approach. She has taught me so much about emotions and the importance of acknowledging their presence, allowing them to be there without judgment, and then letting them go. Not only for myself but also for my children.
Before Mira’s guidance, our house was full of anger and emotional outbursts. My husband and I were angry and therefore our children were angry, emotional, and suffering from a variety of physical symptoms like eczema. Acknowledging my children’s emotions, being calm and still, and setting authentic clear boundaries has been a priceless gift that Mira has taught to me. I can’t recommend working with Mira highly enough – and the more members of the family that do this work the more profound the impact.
Renee Van Egmond Mother and Designer Australia December 19, 2012
Mira visited my newborn son and me on the first day after I gave birth. Both my son and I were traumatized, physically and mentally. The birth lasted 30 hours and at least 16 of them he stuck in my birth canal. His head was awkwardly deformed when he came out and he started to scream as soon as we touched his head. I could barely walk upright and had severe pain in my lower abdomen.
Mira worked with my son first. She approached him very gently, communicated with him verbally and non-verbally, and just slightly touched him once in a while. After my son had enough – because he was the one, who decided when the treatment was done – I lay down on my back and Mira started to work on my feet. When she continued on my belly I felt a very strong sensation in my abdomen. It hurt a lot. I consciously tried to support the process by breathing, but the sensation got stronger and more painful. Mira advised me to bring my focus outside my body. She told me, that my body´s wisdom will fix things without my effort. So I let go and shifted my awareness and after a few seconds, the sensation in my belly melted away and I could feel that the energy in my system began to flow again. I think giving birth was a shock to my body and a lot of stuff still needed to be integrated. It was a relieving feeling to feel the energy coming back to my legs and my feet. When we were finished, I slowly stood up and Mira guided me verbally to ground myself and feel the energy in my body.
Mira came 3 more times within the first 2 weeks of his life to work with my son. He quickly changed a lot. Right after the sessions, we always noticed that he was still processing the changes for an hour or two. After 3 weeks I went to an Osteopath back home to have his bones checked. She said, that my son is perfectly fine and that there is barely something she can work on.
My son is now almost 6 months old. He never had any colic, he sleeps in the night and I heard already many times that his head looks perfectly shaped and beautiful. He loves to laugh, socialize and explore.If I ever have another child, I definitely would invite Mira again to work with the newborn as soon as possible after birth. With Mira´s help my son overcame his trauma and is able to enjoy his life.

I feel better than can ever remember. Mira I want to thank you for giving me some tools to work with, it’s nice to know I’m not the only one feeling all this. Knowing I am Highly Sensitive and having your tools helps me to not go totally crazy sometimes. You made me believe in me again, THANK YOU

Since I started doing craniosacral with Mira a few months ago, a lot has shifted. Initially, I felt strong change on a bodily level and became more aware of my movements and grounding. Suddenly 18 years’ worth of surfing technique and experience all came together. I was surfing like a dream without having worked to get there. My mind was clear and focused and I could experience the moment fully and enjoy it – WOW that is really an extraordinary experience. Through the craniosacral sessions, it has become crucial to me to experience life as it is and to be authentic. I feel so much better. My/this state feels totally natural and unforced, without rules or shoulds. I can set real boundaries for my kids that work and we are all closer. It’s a feeling that comes from deep inside and gives me a sense of self-assuredness and strength.
Apart from that, my energy reserves get filled up after every session and I feel a joy in being alive that I just dig!
Rudi Hajek CEO, Bali August 17, 2011
We are so happy with what you are doing to support our family. I have learnt that the problems with the kids are signs of behaviours I need to look at in myself. After all, they grew up with me so I know where they learnt them… When I look at myself honestly the problems with the kids just dissolve. That’s how it is. The real work is the struggle with yourself, the problem is not the kids.

Hi everyone – It’s been a long several months, but Mira is finally on her way here to SF! Many of you were treated by Mira on our yoga retreat, and others of you were moved by the story of my treatment. Unlike Ketut Liyer and Wayan of “Eat Pray Love,” Mira is a genuine practitioner. I was skeptical when I first went to see her, and she changed me. The difference she made is remarkable – she helped me in releasing a lot of pain and anxiety. I have also been working with her by phone since I returned from my trip, and she is an incredible life coach. If you haven’t been worked on by Mira, I strongly recommend you try her out.

Mira was recommended to me by a friend. I had a lower back pain condition due to a herniated disc and went to see her to get that condition treated. After an initial chat, I learned that there are actually a lot of things that clearly needed treatment, my body is only one of them. Mira has a very gentle way of treating her patients and I can only say that each session was amazing. My body and mind fully relaxed and drifted away. It was not sleep, it was a deep feeling of letting go and relaxing all muscles and brain activity, whilst still being aware of my surroundings. It really created something like trust in my instincts again and the lower back pain got a lot better with each treatment. The amazing thing about having been treated by Mira is that I do feel a profound change since then, I’ve dissolved a few patterns that were toxic and it has helped me to come closer to who the real me wants to be. It has now been a while since my last treatment and I can say that the change that was started then is still ongoing and has made me a lot more aware in every respect.

This is by far the most profound bodywork I have had – Mira holds an enormous space and her capacity to listen to the being at the deepest levels is very powerful and transformative.

I’ve started to feel anger for the first time in my life. Its so wonderful. It’s like starting again. You’re never too old. Thank you for being such a gentle caring soul. One of your sessions is worth 6 with someone else.

Mira cured my trigeminal neuralgia in one session. I don’t know what she did but it worked. Completely gone. I didn’t dare to tell my doctor
Bruce Anderson Retired, UK January 2, 2009
Doing craniosacral bodywork with Mira helped me feel the connection with my primal life force. I also discovered some new aspects of myself. Afterwards I was completely relaxed and peaceful but also energized. I love it! Go and see her for a few sessions.
Maya Fiennes Kundalini Yoga teacher, L.A. August 5, 2008
Thank you for helping me with releasing pain and to find myself! You touched my heart and soul and i didnt even realize at first that you opened so many doors for me.
I was on such a big search to heal and find myself that at first I didn’t even know why I came to you. To my absolute astonishment my shoulder pain, which was severe over the last years, disappeared after your session. Not only did you take help me with releasing the pain – it was more like you took a weight off my shoulders I was carrying around for years. Thank you for being you and showing me my way. I am overwhelmed! I would like to fly to London after Easter for some more sessions.”
