We are so delighted to be welcoming Stefanie Miska to the Elements of Health team!

Stefanie’s bio outlines of her background and training, plus here’s a few more words of introduction:

What is the best thing about working at EOHC?

It’s my first week at EOHC! I am very excited to be joining such a skilled and experienced team to work alongside and learn from.

What inspired you to work in the wellness sector?

After experiencing really disruptive health challenges in my early 20’s I sought the advice and treatment of an acupuncturist. She included me in the treatment process by explaining what she was doing and the diagnosis for my symptoms. Experiencing health care in this really supportive environment and finding relief from my symptoms inspired me to do this work.

What do you love to do on your days off?

On my days off I am typically hiking up Mount Doug/PKOLS or training with my swim club. I love taking my daughter around town exploring new things.

Personality trait do you like most in people?

I love connecting with honest and authentic humans. Vulnerability is really inspiring to me and one of the things I admire most about the patients I work with.

What would people be surprised to know?

Prior to becoming an acupuncturist I used to travel a lot, I’ve visited 15 countries and recently spent 5 months in Spain with my family.

I was a vegetarian for 10 years before starting Chinese Medicine school. During my studies and learning about nutrition through this lens changed my perspective and I am now an omnivore.
