I am the founder and developer of MER Biofeedback\u00ae Therapy, a practising therapist, and a trainer of MER Biofeedback\u00ae therapists.<\/p>

Since 2003, I have been dedicated to practising, refining and developing MER Biofeedback\u00ae Therapy. Over the years, I have carried out more than 17,000 therapy sessions.<\/strong><\/p>

If you would like to learn more about my journey and how MER Biofeedback\u00ae Therapy developed, I invite you to read my story.<\/p>

My story<\/strong><\/p>

Looking back, I realise that life itself has been my greatest teacher.<\/p>

Throughout my life, I have experienced abandonment, abuse, loss, burnout, anxiety and depression. These experiences helped me develop a deeper understanding of both myself and others. They taught me empathy, the importance of listening and the value of being there for someone when they need support.<\/p>

I have also learned to let go of what no longer serves me or helps me move forward.<\/p>

Business, burnout and a turning point<\/strong><\/p>

I began my entrepreneurial journey in 1987 and built several businesses from the ground up.<\/p>

For many years, I was completely devoted to my work. Gradually, it became a large part of my identity, and I lost the ability to properly rest or simply be present.<\/p>

By January 2000, I had reached burnout. My energy was depleted, and this was followed by anxiety and panic attacks that I struggled to manage on my own.<\/p>

I sought professional help and attended emergency care on several occasions. Medication provided temporary relief, but I still felt that I had lost my enjoyment of life and motivation to move forward.<\/p>

I tried different treatment approaches, but did not experience the relief I had hoped for. Eventually, I realised that I also needed to look more deeply at the way I was living my life.<\/p>

I took time to reflect and recognised that for years I had placed extremely high expectations on myself. I had been constantly striving to achieve more and prove myself.<\/p>

It required enormous amounts of energy, yet it brought very little sense of inner fulfilment.<\/p>

I began to understand that I did not always need to be achieving something. I needed to learn how to rest, be present and trust life more.<\/p>

That realisation marked the beginning of a completely new chapter in my life.<\/p>

I decided to make a change and start again.<\/p>

A new beginning and a discovery that changed my direction<\/strong><\/p>

On 23 April 2000, I left behind my business in Estonia, my home, my financial security and my familiar way of life, and travelled to the United States with a friend.<\/p>

I started again from scratch.<\/p>

It was one of the biggest decisions I had ever made.<\/p>

While living in America, I learned to slow down, meditate and appreciate simple things again. Within around six months, my energy gradually returned, together with my enthusiasm and motivation.<\/p>

Once I felt stronger, I started a new business in the United States, working with nutritional supplements and natural skincare products through an online shop.<\/p>

I later moved to Syracuse, New York.<\/p>

While living there, several people independently suggested that I visit a nearby company involved in developing and selling biofeedback devices.<\/p>

Because of my previous experiences, I was highly sceptical of anything that sounded like a \u201cmiracle device\u201d. But when three completely different people recommended the same place, I decided to put my assumptions aside and see it for myself.<\/p>

That was how I met Chris Keser, the creator of the biofeedback device.<\/p>

Rather than giving me a lengthy explanation of the technology, Chris connected me to the device and went through the results with me.<\/p>

He described some of my main stress patterns, negative thought patterns and limiting beliefs.<\/p>

I was surprised by how closely the information reflected aspects of my own experience and inner world.<\/p>

My scepticism quickly turned into curiosity, and I wanted to understand much more about the technology and how it could be used.<\/p>

I later learned that Chris had more than 30 years of experience in homeopathy. Through his work, he had developed the view that long-standing stress patterns and limiting beliefs could play an important role in a person\u2019s overall wellbeing.<\/p>

With Chris\u2019s encouragement, I purchased my first biofeedback device in 2003.<\/p>

The purchase included a three-day training course, after which I received my Certified Biofeedback Technician certificate.<\/p>

The real learning, however, began after the course.<\/p>

I started exploring the capabilities of the biofeedback device in depth, both independently and with Chris\u2019s guidance.<\/p>

I became particularly interested in identifying and rebalancing negative thought patterns and limiting beliefs.<\/p>

Chris shared his many years of practical experience with me and helped me understand which stress indicators appeared to be particularly useful to focus on when working with clients.<\/p>

Learning and personal change<\/strong><\/p>

I found the learning process fascinating.<\/p>

I began by working on myself and spent the following four months identifying and rebalancing my own negative thought patterns and limiting beliefs.<\/p>

What I noticed surprised me.<\/p>

For years, I had worked on forgiveness using different approaches and believed that I had moved on from the past. Yet I realised that certain emotional reactions were still very much present.<\/p>

For nearly 20 years, my relationship with my mother had been difficult.<\/p>

Even small disagreements could trigger tension, irritation and old feelings of having been treated unfairly. Over time, I had found it easier simply to keep my distance.<\/p>

After working with biofeedback therapy, I noticed a change that I had not expected.<\/p>

I was able to communicate with my mother more calmly, without the same intensity of old emotions resurfacing.<\/p>

The memories were still there, but anger, tension and irritation no longer seemed to influence my reactions in the same way.<\/p>

Our relationship gradually became warmer, which was both meaningful and encouraging for me.<\/p>

I then began offering biofeedback sessions to some of my friends.<\/p>

They also reported positive changes in how they felt, and their feedback encouraged me to explore the field more deeply.<\/p>

That was when I realised that this was the work I wanted to dedicate myself to.<\/p>

The development of MER Biofeedback\u00ae therapy<\/strong>
2003\u20132011<\/strong><\/p>

I began working with clients in Syracuse.<\/p>

Every person I worked with taught me something new, and it was this practical experience that encouraged me to keep refining and developing my approach.<\/p>

Over the years, a more clearly defined method began to emerge through hands-on experience, observation and client feedback.<\/p>

This gradually developed into what is now known as MER Biofeedback\u00ae Therapy.<\/p>

At the same time, I began studying Quantum Biofeedback at the Canadian International College of Holistic Studies.<\/p>

In 2011, I completed my studies and was registered as a biofeedback therapist with the Canadian Examining Board of Health Care Practitioners, receiving the professional qualification R.B.T. 9-1004.<\/p>

My studies included anatomy, physiology, biofeedback therapy and the foundations of quantum physics.<\/p>

However, I remained particularly interested in understanding how negative thought patterns and limiting beliefs could be identified and rebalanced.<\/p>

As this was not a central focus of my formal studies, I continued learning independently, reading specialist literature and regularly discussing my observations with Chris.<\/p>

My aim was to understand which stress indicators and thought patterns appeared to be most relevant in practical work with clients.<\/p>

Between 2003 and 2011, I carried out more than 6,000 biofeedback therapy sessions in the United States.<\/p>

This gave me invaluable practical experience and reinforced something I still believe today: every client teaches a therapist something new.<\/p>

From 2011 to 2018, I worked in two holistic therapy centres in the United States, supporting people experiencing emotional exhaustion, burnout, anxiety and depression.<\/p>

The approach was also used with athletes to identify and rebalance competition-related stress and anxiety, with the aim of supporting a steadier state of flow and helping them perform closer to their full potential.<\/p>

Returning to Estonia<\/strong><\/p>

In November 2011, I returned to Estonia to visit my parents and relatives.<\/p>

During that visit, I introduced my biofeedback approach at the Holistic Institute and offered complimentary sessions over three days so that people could experience the method for themselves.<\/p>

After I returned to the United States, I was invited to come back to Estonia regularly to work with clients.<\/p>

At first, I was unsure, but eventually decided to begin travelling to Estonia once every three months.<\/p>

That was how my work with clients in Estonia began.<\/p>

In 2018, I realised that Estonia was where I wanted to build the next chapter of my life.<\/p>

I sold my home in the United States, gave up a secure income and decided to dedicate myself fully to developing MER Biofeedback\u00ae Therapy and supporting people in Estonia.<\/p>

In 2020, I founded Lifekeskus to make this distinctive form of therapy more widely available.<\/p>

Over the years, I have come to believe that a deep understanding of negative thought patterns, limiting beliefs and the connections between them develops primarily through extensive practical experience.<\/p>

Every client has taught me something and contributed, in one way or another, to the continued development of MER Biofeedback\u00ae Therapy.<\/p>

In June 2023, MER Biofeedback\u00ae was officially registered as a trademark.<\/strong><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

My Approach as a Therapist<\/strong><\/p>

You may be experiencing mental exhaustion, burnout, fear, anxiety or panic. Or perhaps you simply feel that you have reached a point in life where you cannot see a clear way forward.<\/p>

I understand how difficult those periods can feel because I have experienced challenging times in my own life.<\/p>

I believe that people have the capacity to change, grow and develop new ways of responding to life.<\/p>

Sometimes, what we need is the right support, a different perspective and the opportunity to understand ourselves more clearly.<\/p>

My role is to support you through that process and help you move, step by step, towards greater emotional balance, clarity and wellbeing.<\/p>

If you feel ready to make positive changes in your life and would like support along the way, you are very welcome at Lifekeskus.<\/strong><\/p>
