The journey to health and wellness began with competing as an elite level, division 1 gymnast which resulted in multiple acute and chronic injuries, causing major physical change. A decade later, a car accident worsened her chronic back and hip issues. With the help of her rehab team of physical therapists and chiropractic care, she was guided and introduced to the holistic wellness world. She became a leader in the fitness/wellness industry with multiple trainings and certifications in the holistic health field since 2007. She transitioned from private podiatric practice with weekend emergency surgeries for diabetic foot infections, to full time teaching Anatomy & Physiology in 2012. She started teaching anatomy in a personal training school in 2008, and later, a massage therapy program in 2010. The rest is history! Dr. Milescu has taught Anatomy & Physiology, and other related Health Science courses since 2008.

She is a daily inspiration to those with physical challenges having had bilateral hip replacements in her late forties, and multiple severe bouts of acute, and chronic pain for several years due to herniated discs and disc bulges L-1 to L-5. Despite all her health challenges, she continuously strived to exercise, eat healthy, and be an example of resilience to her family, friends, and clients. She owned and managed Serenity Now Yoga Corp. on ground in Longwood Florida from January 11, 2010, to June 30th, 2022.
