Our Why
We Live and Work Well When We are Connected!
We believe connection is essential to our health and well-being. At Naka Wells, we recognize that connection isn’t always easy. Whether it’s navigating major life transition or longing for a sense of belonging and team cohesion, we all need meaningful connections, individually and collectively. Connection helps us thrive—not just survive—at home, at work, and in our communities. As Brené Brown reminds us, “Connection is why we’re here. It’s what gives purpose and meaning to our lives.”
Hey, I’m Nanah!
Founder of Naka Wells.
I find joy in quality time with loved ones, being in nature, and on my mat.
With a Master of Public Health and a certificate in Organizational Wellness, I’ve spent over 12 years serving communities through the development and implementation of health and wellness programs.
Through this work, I witnessed many struggling—not just with chronic conditions, but with a deeper, often overlooked challenge: loneliness. I saw this not only in others, but in myself. While navigating motherhood, career, and relationships, I often felt lonely—even when surrounded by people and active on social media. I lacked the tools to create and sustain connections that truly supported my well-being. So I did the inner work. I deepened my focus on personal and social well-being, drew on my professional training and developed a Connection Tool-belt—a collection of practices that guide the virtual socials, workshops, and events I now lead.
Holding space for myself gave me the capacity to hold space for others. I enjoy collaborating with individuals and organizations committed to fostering social well-being.
