“Rest is not a reward for being productive. It’s your right because you exist”.
Read my story below.
Mika Newton, ISTA Certified Sound Therapist |
Certified Stretch Practitioner | Founder of Zenmi
I’m Mika—a certified sound therapist and stretch practitioner with over 250 hours of professional training and a lifetime’s worth of lived experience navigating burnout, healing and reclaiming rest. I’m also a mother, a “Nani” to two beautiful toddlers and…I’m a corporate drop out.
For years, I worked in corporate America, doing all the “right” things; working hard, getting the promotions, gaining financial success—until my body, mind and spirit said otherwise. I found myself in a season of depression, anxiety, and complete exhaustion. During that time, I took a 5 month medical leave and spent the first 40 days on the couch wondering if I’d ever feel joy again. That’s when I returned to something I had used in the past for self-care but never fully understood—sound.
What began as a calming practice quickly became a transformative tool. Sound helped me quiet the noise in my mind, sleep more peacefully and feel safe in my body again. It brought me back to myself—and eventually to my calling. I began studying, became certified, and Zenmi was born from that sacred pivot. I’ve recently expanded my healing practice to include stretch therapy—a powerful, holistic, restorative modality that complements the vibrational work I do with sound. This integration was intentional. Our bodies often hold the very tension our spirits are trying to release, and now, with stretch therapy, I can support your healing from the inside out.
Today, I create healing spaces for people who are overwhelmed, overextended, or simply longing for rest and release. Whether you’re navigating burnout, emotional pain or simply craving stillness, sound and stretch therapies offer a non-invasive way to recalibrate your nervous system and gently return to center. My sessions are rooted in care, compassion, and the belief that every body deserves rest and restoration.
If you’re curious, if you’re exhausted, if you’re ready—experience the reset.
