The Author Mia Mattsson Mercer

Mia was born in 1964 and grew up in Malmo, Sweden. She has written three books about her life and work with her gift. Her third book is about how anyone can become a better listener to the animals and also how one can develop their personal growing. So far, the books are only published in Swedish. She is now working on her fourth book about sexual child abuse, and also how animals can have an effect in children’s healing. This book is being written in English.

Mia has been worked in USA, Germany, Switzerland, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, France, Ireland and was also invited to work in Bahrain, in the Middle East.

After three years, in United States she now moved together with her husband, daughter and four dogs to Southern Italy. Her dogs Tjojs (Choice) her mixed dog that she brought with her from Sweden; Ranger her husband’s black Labrador; together they adopted Shiloh, a mix of Pit-bull and something else; and Clyde the Collie that recently adopted them.

Mia is very involved with neglected animals, animals in war zones and abused children.

In 1999, she founded Animals without limits, a non-profit foundation to assist animals from strife-torn areas. For many years previously, Mia had been working with animals and their owners, one-on-one, to understand and correct behavior--- behavior of both the animal and their owners. From common house pets to Olympic horses, exotic animals to show animals and the occasional royal equine, she has used her gift to understand and interpret for the animals to their owners. Through her gift and interpretation, behavioral problems could be understood and better dealt with.

Mia took this experience and knowledge with her to Bosnia in 2000 for an extended stay. Renting an apartment and receiving supplies, she set about assisting with the establishment and funding for Spay and Neuter programs in that war-torn land.

Mia didn’t expect that she would find herself working with children to explain why they should treat animals humanely, even when they have suffered inhumane treatment from their neighbors and countrymen.

But in working with children, she came to see that many of the same maladies suffered by the youngest victims of the war were in turn being inflicted upon the animals Mia sought to help.

She also witnessed the healing ability animals have with those recovering from wounds both physical and mental. Old and young, emotionally scarred or physically debilitated, they respond to the unconditional love and affection of animals.

Mia loves her work and her family life, taking photographs and meeting people
