The First Steps
ElitzMinds was founded in 2014 by Panny Tajmir, an occupational therapist and mental health expert with specialized training in geriatric rehabilitation, grief support, crisis management, and recovery through evidence-based approaches like DBT and CBT. From 2003 to 2009, Panny worked in cancer research, building a deep understanding of serious illness, vulnerability, resilience, and the search for meaning in challenging times. Panny also brings valuable international clinical experience and licensure as an occupational therapist in the United States, enriching perspectives on cross-border care standards and holistic practice.
A profound personal loss during the height of COVID, the sudden, preventable passing of someone deeply close, reinforced this foundation with urgent clarity: life is short, fragile, and deserves to be lived with intention, richness, and purpose. That insight propelled a solo practice into a collaborative, expert team delivering true inside-out makeovers. Clients partner with Panny and our specialists to rebuild mindset, confidence, appearance, and self-image into the empowered, authentic version they’ve always aspired to.
The First Destinations
In geriatric services, our team leads the creation of safe, nurturing home environments optimized for healthy longevity and graceful aging. We connect caregivers to top-tier community resources, transforming caregiving into joyful, memory-making family time, free from isolation or overwhelming systems. Under Panny’s leadership, families thrive, bonds deepen, and every moment matters. Today, this mission is advanced by a dedicated team that includes a massage and art therapist, an exercise and recreational therapist, a holistic nutritional coach, a life coach, and a geriatric occupational therapist, all joining to provide even greater depth and compassionate, comprehensive support.
Our Mission
This is the mission we built from layered, real-world experience and unwavering commitment: expert, heartfelt, and devoted to helping you live fully and intentionally. At ElitzMinds, we meet you where you are with personalized, empathetic care to rediscover your strength and joy, because healing shouldn’t feel like a battle.
