Hi. My name is Miika!
I am so happy to meet you. Whether you have stumbled onto Form & Function or have a friend, family member, or specialist recommend you reach out to me, I am ready to listen and help.
Fun Facts about Me!
1.
I started my Health Care Career in Aged Care & Disability services, including Adult Mental Health. I went from hands-on care to working within the corporate sector. Those 12+ years of experience have truly shaped me as a Primary Health Care Provider.
2.
Yes! That's an accent you hear! I am from Missouri and moved from the United States to Australia when I was 14 years old. I am both happy and honored to be an Australian citizen.
3.
My favorite part about being a Chiropractor is using everything we learned every day in practice! That means not just chiropractic adjustments but soft tissue therapy, dry needling, exercise rehabilitation, nutritional guidance, and lifestyle advice
4.
I often have long-term patients refer to me as their Physiotherapists due to how much time I spend on things other than Chiropractic adjustments.
5.
Exercise means everything to me hence the "Form & Function"
6.
To quote a patient," Some things never change. Death, taxes, and Miika working non-stop." So, if you need an appointment, I will always find a way to help those in need, is what I think he was trying to say!
7.
I do have hobbies outside of doing the job that I love. They include weightlifting, cooking & cleaning, a chore to some, ice skating, studying Serbian, and talking about how we should not be dependent on healthcare to be healthy; education is the key!
8.
​I'm young in years but old in experiences. I can't wait to share my knowledge with you.
