My Journey to MER Biofeedback® Therapy

I am the creator of MER Biofeedback® Therapy and the founder of MES Life Mastery Ltd (United Kingdom) and Lifekeskus OÜ (Estonia). Today, I teach the principles and practical application of MER Biofeedback® Therapy as a trainer and supervisor based in Estonia.

Everything I went through during those difficult years shaped who I am today. I know how hard it is to find balance and inner strength when you’re struggling—because I lived it. Now, helping others through that same journey is what drives me.

From Business to Breaking Point

In 1987, I launched my business career in Estonia, building my companies Bell and Farmakon from the ground up. I founded and led multiple ventures, eventually managing teams of over 100 employees. Through this experience, I learned invaluable lessons about leadership, human psychology, and what truly motivates people.

But I sacrificed everything for these businesses—too much, in fact. I was a workaholic, and by January 2000, my body and mind were breaking down in ways I could no longer ignore.

I collapsed under the weight of emotional and mental exhaustion. Burnout turned into an anxiety disorder. Panic attacks sent me to the emergency room, where I received calming medication. This provided only temporary relief. Depression followed, stealing my joy and my will to continue. I tried antidepressants, but it wasn’t for me.

The Decision That Changed Everything

In that dark moment, I made a choice that would reshape my entire life.

I finally allowed myself to confront a hard truth: I had been trying to prove I was better, smarter, and richer than others—and it was a pointless waste of time. Without joy or meaning, what was the point of any of it?

So I let go. I left behind my home, my company, my income, my security. On April 23, 2000—Easter Sunday— I flew to America. Over the next six months, I slowly recovered from anxiety and depression. Gradually, my energy and enthusiasm returned.

Discovering Biofeedback

In America, I met interesting people who opened doors I never knew existed. Three different people recommended I visit a company working with a biofeedback device. Three recommendations felt like a sign, so I went to meet Chris Keser, the device’s creator.

I was skeptical at first. But instead of explaining the technology, Chris simply connected me to the device. Then, like a clairvoyant, he started talking about my limiting beliefs and negative thought patterns. The information was very accurate. My amazement at what the device revealed sparked an immediate fascination with this type of therapy.

I learned that Chris had practiced homeopathy for over 30 years before creating this device. He’d realized that many chronic health problems stemmed from negative thought patterns—issues that homeopathy couldn’t address. The device was his answer to that limitation.

Learning Through Experience

Encouraged by Chris, I purchased my own device in 2003. The “Certified Biofeedback Technician” certificate that came with it was just a piece of paper—I had no real experience yet. I began to independently learn about the device’s potential for addressing limiting beliefs, emotional triggers, and negative thought patterns.

Over the course of a few years, Chris Keser shared his experience and knowledge of biofeedback therapy with me. He provided information about these stress indicators, which had led to faster and more effective results for his clients.

The learning process captivated me completely. I lost track of time as I worked on myself, using the therapy to understand my own mind. For three to four months, I focused on finding and balancing my limiting beliefs, emotional triggers and negative thought patterns.

For nearly 20 years, I couldn’t talk to my mother without feeling irritable and angry over the smallest things. Forgiving her felt impossible. After MER Biofeedback® therapy, everything changed. I could finally have normal conversations with her—no anger, no irritation, no emotional triggers. That shift brought me inner peace and joy.

In 2011, I earned my diploma from the Canadian International Institute of Holistic Studies and was registered as a Biofeedback Therapist (R.B.T. 9-1004) with The Canadian Examining Board of Health Care Practitioners. The formal education deepened my understanding of quantum physics, biofeedback therapy, and the device’s programs.

Developing MER Biofeedback® Therapy

But my real education came through practice. Between 2003 and 2011, I conducted over 6,000 therapy sessions. Through this hands-on work, I discovered something crucial: to achieve the best results, I needed to identify each client’s unique stress indicators. The device didn’t provide these automatically, so I had to test them one by one—a time-consuming but essential process.

Chris continued to support me as I refined this approach. Our shared goal was simple: quickly identify and release clients’ stress indicators to provide genuinely effective results.

This dedicated work evolved into what is now MER Biofeedback® therapy, for which I have registered a trademark.

After graduating, I worked at two holistic therapy centers in America, focusing on burnout, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and post-traumatic stress.

Coming Home to Estonia

In November 2011, I visited Estonia to see relatives. During that trip, I introduced biofeedback therapy at the Holistika Institute ( www.holistika.ee/en ) and offered some free sessions. When the institute expressed interest in having me return regularly, I began traveling from America to Estonia once a quarter from 2011 to 2018. Thanks to the Holistika Institute, I was able to bring this therapy to my homeland.

In 2018, I finally realised that my roots were in Estonia. I sold my home in America, left behind my home, my husband, my company, my new car, and good income. I decided to dedicate myself fully to developing MER Biofeedback® Therapy and helping people in Estonia.

Expanding to England

I established M.E.S. Life Mastery in the United Kingdom on 7 October 2024 to introduce MER Biofeedback® Therapy to the UK market. As a trainer and supervisor based in Estonia, I teach the principles and practical applications of MER Biofeedback® Therapy through online courses and webinars.

Since 2003, I have devoted myself to practicing and refining MER Biofeedback® therapy. I have worked with over 17,000 clients, and through each session, I’ve deepened my understanding of thought patterns and their complex associations. This knowledge comes only through practice—through sitting with thousands of people as they work through their own struggles.

Based on consistent client feedback, MER Biofeedback® therapy has proven highly effective at addressing a wide range of problems related to emotional tension and stress.

My mission remains simple: to help individuals achieve the emotional balance and personal growth that transformed my own life—and to do so with the empathy that can only come from having walked a similar path myself.
