WHO WE ARE
MEET THE TEAM
FOUNDER & OWNER
AMANA MISHKIN-JONES, MSc
Armed with a Master of Science degree in Psychology of Mental Health & Wellbeing, Amana's passion lies in empowering individuals to achieve their goals and lead fulfilling lives.
Elysian Wellbeing was born in response to the global increase in mental health challenges caused by the pandemic. Amana, like many others, faced difficulties during Covid-19. In 2020, she was at the peak of her musical theatre career. Originally from the UK, Amana was working on an exciting show in London and, afterward, was set to move to New York to pursue a career on Broadway and be with her now-husband. But the pandemic changed everything. Amana lost her job, her flight was canceled, and the US travel ban kept her from starting her life with her husband for over three years.
While struggling with her own mental health and witnessing others going through similar experiences, Amana decided to take action to improve her wellbeing and help others on their transformative journey. She returned to university and earned her Master's Degree in Psychology. Additionally, she designed an immersive gratitude journal to improve individuals' mental health, aiming to amplify the therapeutic power of journaling. This led to the creation of Elysian Wellbeing.
Since then, Amana has finally moved to the US and has remained committed to empowering others!
