My Intuitive Story
Where it all began...
My name is Maika Baillargeon – previously known as Nurse Maika and now known as Doctor Maika.
Growing up in the jungle of Panama, the Shamans called me the "Special One". At the young age of two, the Shamans told my mother I was “the special one” and blessed with the ability to SEE, HEAR, FEEL, and HEAL. They said I would bring my gifts to the world someday.
At nine, I was visited by a spirit whom I called "Bodi Shawna," later learning her name was pronounced Bodhisattva.
My new friend and spirit guide, Bodi Shawna, helped me understand my gifts when I started seeing crossed-over spirits daily. She told me not to be afraid. They needed my help to pass on messages to their loved ones.
It took me a while to get used to seeing and communicating with the dead. Also, how to manage the constant disruption and shut off the chatter.
One day I asked Bodi Shawna why she chose me. She said my spirit was aligned with the meaning of her name. Bodhisattva stands for:
- Anyone who is motivated by compassion and love, seeks enlightenment for all souls, including themselves, and has a deep desire to help others.
- Someone who undergoes suffering to help another sentient being taking the oath - "I will become a savior to all beings. I will release them from all their sufferings."
In 1998, I was in a severe car accident where I was rushed to the hospital and experienced a Near Death Experience (NDE). I remember leaving my body and watching them work on me. Before bringing me back, an angelic being took me to a place that was so beautiful that to this day, I can not find the words to describe the beauty, peace, and pure love I felt. She told me I needed to return to share my gifts with the world.
It was that day I knew my gift changed! That day, I was blessed with "Divine X-Ray Eyes." I could see inside of people's bodies and the medical issues that plagued them. I also experienced more profound psychic abilities and could feel a new team of divinely guided spirits assisting me.
In 2005, when I moved back to CT from Ohio, my "spirit team" was relentless about transitioning me out of western medicine and expanding my knowledge and expertise into holistic methods. As a result, I was privileged to partner, and work with, the late Dr. Alicia Stanton, MD, who personally taught me the Anti-aging and Functional Medicine Fellowship (A4M). I later became a Certified Bio-Identical Nurse and Educator and received certificates in Homeopathy.
In 2010 my "spirit team" told me it was time to answer my spiritual calling. So, I did. I opened my private practice as a Medical Intuitive and Holistic Nurse.
I continued to learn many healing modalities and earned advanced medical trainings and education, landing on my PhD and Doctorate in Functional Medicine.
Today, with 15 years of experience in traditional medicine, and over 25 years working in Functional Medicine, I would be honored to develop a co-creative partnership to help transform your health and transform your life.

Types of Medical Intuition
Imagine This.....
I'm often asked what a Medical Intuitive does and how it's different than western medicine.
Medical intuition is the ability to perceive or sense information about someone’s health beyond standard lab tests, imaging, or textbook symptom patterns. It’s often described as an intuitive understanding of what may be happening in the body—sometimes before it’s measurable on conventional diagnostics.
Energetic or Psychic Medical Intuition
Psychic Medical Intuition is when a person uses intuition and spirit guidance to "see" imbalances throughout the body. These include physical, psychological, emotional, chemical, and neurological imbalances. A Medical Intuitive can see within the organs, tissues and cells, as well as traumas, past and recent, or blockages of their energetic functions, via energy centers called Chakra's.
But more than just having the gift to see all of the anatomical issues, the medical intuitive seeks to reach the Root Cause of the complaint, illness or disease.
The Medical Intuitive will work to find the Root Cause by identifying the location and timeframe of the imbalances. Whether it occurred during childhood or in the past month, these moments when the body was unable to overcome the event, left the body unable to keep balance within. The person loses power because of a fear pattern, spiritual crisis, or trauma that then lives on in the psyche, thus the cell tissue.
1️⃣ Clinical Intuition (Experience-Based)
This is the kind of intuition many seasoned clinicians develop over time.
It’s pattern recognition built from years of:
- Listening deeply to patients
- Observing subtle symptom connections
- Recognizing inconsistencies in “normal” lab results
- Seeing root-cause patterns (mold, parasites, heavy metals, gut dysfunction, etc.)
This form is grounded in experience, training, and subconscious synthesis of data. It’s not mystical—it’s highly developed clinical pattern recognition.
2️⃣ In Functional or Root-Cause Medicine
In practices like functional medicine, “medical intuition” often means:
- Trusting clinical instincts when labs look “normal” but the patient is clearly unwell
- Connecting dots others may miss
- Looking beyond surface diagnoses
- Sensing when there’s an environmental, infectious, toxic, or inflammatory driver underneath symptoms
- It’s usually paired with testing—not used instead of it.
