Kelly Ryan is a Certified Holistic Nutritionial Consultant™ professional (C.H.N.C.), the 2023 Winner of the Julie Daniluk Award, and the founder of Nerdy Nutrition Corporate Wellness in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. During the first six years of her career, she coached seniors, exhausted moms and their families in making wellbeing changes.
Three years ago, Kelly changed her career path by leaning into her authentic, “nerdy” personality and pioneering a completely new category: gamified corporate health and wellness. Today, she facilitates done-for-you, interactive team-building experiences, including Wellness Murder Mysteries, Corporate Escape Rooms, and “Lunch, Learn, & Laughter” sessions. By replacing dry lectures with immersive play, Kelly helps organizations break down departmental silos, try a variety of wellbeing activities, alleviate workplace stress, and build positive corporate cultures. A sought-after speaker and facilitator, she regularly presents at major regional events, including the CPHR NL (Chartered Professionals in Human Resources) Symposium and Expo Labrador, proving that natural nutrition and self-care can be accessible, competitive, and genuinely fun.
I originally came to CSNN out of a personal health journey and a fierce desire to protect my children’s well-being. After working with a Naturopathic Doctor to uncover that I was functionally anemic and allergic to North American gluten and cow dairy, I realized just how powerfully our food and lifestyle choices dictate our health. Once my kids were born, I knew I didn’t want them facing those same roadblocks. While most people would just Google solutions, my nerdy personality took over, I decided to go back to school at CSNN so I could provide holistic well-being for my family and beyond.
