ABOUT US  >  PRACTITIONERS

Mia Kalef

It's possible that I've been involved in health care for over 25 years. I was only 11 years old when I attended my first orthopaedics lesson, but it just so happened that that the patient was me! How could I have guessed that by being exposed to my own sports injuries, I was indadvertently beginning my studies of Anatomy, Radiology, Kinesiology, and esentially training for what would later become my everyday job?

With my own experience of healing a long-standing rowing injury and other childhood challenges, I discovered that pain is not just a physical phenomenon, but one that can arise from emotional and spiritual challenges as well.

 

In 2006, eight years after becoming a Chiropractor and after a decade of Craniosacral Therapy tranining and practice, I decided to form the program of therapy, education and research now called Emerging Families. My inspiration came from many traditions:

 

Whether I look through the viewing lens of the Buddhist practice of Metta (Lovingkindness), or through our pattern of inheritence called Morphogenic Fields, or through the Craniosacral Principle of The Long Tide, I, the viewer observe a consistent image; we are one and our loving message carrying peace, no matter its language, is the same.

 

May we never divide.

 

Emerging Families is built on a vision of a peaceful, compassionate world that begins with treating our children in this way.

 

I am thankful to my teacher, Dr. Ron King; an embodiment of kind wisdom and also to my patients, old and young, who over the years have gifted me with their stories. To you, I am truly grateful.
