FASHION WITH A
HEALTH PURPOSE
Say goodbye to your grandma’s compression
stockings and hello to a more stylish support
solution. RejuvaHealth founder Kelsey Minarik
shares what led to her creating a business
that is making a difference in so many lives.
“I was first introduced to
compression stockings at age
21 when I developed deep vein
thrombosis during a long plane
flight. DVT is a blood clot in the
leg that can break loose and
travel to the lungs as a pulmonary
embolism, a fatal medical
emergency for one out of three
who suffer it. While recovering
from this diagnosis, my physician
advised I wear the stockings to
alleviate pain and prevent future
complications. I was immediately
hooked. The relief they provided
was unparalleled, but the major
physical benefits they offered
came with a few caveats.
I wasn’t a fan of the way they
looked or how frumpy I felt
while wearing them. Craving
more fashion-forward and
empowering options, I decided
to do something about it myself.
Fast forward a few years later,
and RejuvaHealth was born.

GAZELLE STL
In 2010, I launched my first collection of fashionpatterned support stockings in six unique prints
unlike any previously seen on the market. Since
then, RejuvaHealth has evolved from that small
introductory collection into a larger destination
for stylish support solutions. We now offer
a broad spectrum of our own name-brand
compression legwear complemented by a curated
selection of therapeutic and athletic support
products from other premium brands.
Because incorporating compression into daily life
can be an emotional experience, we also provide
our fellow wearers online videos, tools and tips,
plus access to our support team along the way.
The goal is to make compression stockings more
beautiful, shopping more fun, and the overall
experience more enjoyable.”
