Elodia Miner

Elodia Miner

Director of Creative Arts

Born and raised in San Diego, Elodia Miner has always carried a deep passion for serving others. With a professional background in dentistry, she spent years caring for people's physical needs with precision and compassion. She felt called to bring deeper, lasting healing, not just to the body, but to the whole person.

Answering that call, Elodia transitioned into women's programs, where she discovered the incredible power of creativity as a tool for restoration. She began using art—through painting, drawing, and creative expression—as a way to help women process their pain, tell their stories, and find healing.

Her work focuses on creating safe spaces where women can experience support, acceptance, and rediscover their worth and identity.
