It is her belief that healthcare is a human right and she is always growing and expanding into new ways of sharing medicine and knowledge that empowers women and families to be their own best healers.
“I am a healer archetype. A birth keeper. An intuitive. A healthcare provider. A mama. An adventurer. I believe in birth. I believe in equality & human rights. I believe thoughts turn to things which gives us more power than most are willing to own. I live by that. I believe suffering is a catalyst to profound growth. I believe when you focus on healing, gratitude & living, healing happens, & when you focus on disease & being sick, it does not. I believe in your ability to heal, & in the power of Chinese medicine & in guiding people back to their light & inner being . I am wildly passionate about empowering women & families & offering the resources to create the life you desire. I believe LOVE is the ultimate medicine & the highest vibration. ”

Mika Olin, Licensed Acupuncturist
Mika offers Facial Acupuncture at Starbird.
I’m a passionate believer that you deserve to feel good. And while I’m all for inner peace and gratitude as a way of life, I’m just starting to feel a little bit over society selling the belief that there is some sort of honor in making “settling” a habit. You deserve to feel good. Say it again, “I deserve to feel good.”
I’m here for the people who are ready to feel big, and I’m also here to support you if you’re not quite there yet, because don’t worry, I get it. This whole health and wellness thing - it’s a journey, not a destination. And I recognize that just getting to the point of remembering the value of taking care of yourself is often the first step.
With Chinese medicine as my guide and acupuncture needles (and a few other cool things) as my tools, I’ve been working with people who are trying to find their best self since 2014, and I’m looking forward to working with you too.
