ABOUT ME – MEG ABIKO
When the doctors told me I’d never walk again, I refused to believe it. Not out of denial—but out of defiant hope. I came home paralyzed and overwhelmed—only to face something even harder than the diagnosis: the emotional aftermath.
I remember lying in bed, unable to move, weighed down not just by physical pain—but by guilt, anger, regret, and relentless mental loops of “what if I had done something differently?” For the month ahead, the trauma played on repeat. The pain medication wore off, the support faded. And the grief grew heavier. Even the smallest movements—like trying to get out of bed to feed myself—felt impossible. I hated being dependent. I hated feeling helpless. And worst of all, I started to believe maybe they were right.
Then came the moment that changed everything.
A close friend looked me in the eye and said, “This isn’t you. I’m tired of seeing you give up. You always find a way.”
That moment cracked something open. I made a decision—not to push through, but to wake up.
MY BREAKTHROUGH
I didn’t chase a miracle cure. I began listening. Learning. Rebuilding. I discovered natural pain relief methods—from essential oils and Reiki, to breathwork, light therapy, acupressure, and sound healing. I soaked up everything I could: raindrop therapy, reflexology, Vitaflex. These practices reconnected me with my body, my strength, and my spirit.
I became a sponge. Not just for knowledge, but for wisdom. For tools that would finally bring me back to myself.
And slowly, it happened. I stood. Then I walked. Then I reclaimed my life—without a single sign of paralysis left behind.
WHY I BUILT THIS COMMUNITY
Today, I’m more than a survivor—I’m a coach, a guide, and a grounded force of possibility for people navigating physical, emotional, and chronic pain.
I created the Rise, Reclaim, Redefine Membership Community to offer what I once needed most:
- A place where people feel seen in their pain
- Practical tools for recovery that don’t rely on pills or pushing through
- A guided path to help others create their own personalized rhythm of resilience
If you’ve been told “you’ll never heal”—this is your proof that you can. If you’ve tried everything—and still feel stuck—this is your reminder that there’s more to try. If you feel like no one gets it—I do.
