Our Story
WellNia was born from a shared vision by Sharon Kanini, a software engineer and mother, and Faith Kula, a digital marketer passionate about intentional living. We understand the Kenyan woman’s juggle—work, family, and endless to-dos, often at the cost of her own wellness. WellNia isn’t just about meal plans or fitness goals; it’s about creating space for you to breathe, reconnect, and thrive without shame. Join us on this journey to make wellness feel like coming home.
Our Why
WellNia starts with the why: Why is consistency hard? What does burnout feel like for a woman balancing it all? Why do we keep starting over? We focus on mindset, habits, and community—not perfection.
Our Approach
We take a psychology-first approach, offering flexible, structured tools rooted in the real-life experiences of Kenyan women, designed by a Kenyan woman who gets it.

Rooted in Real Life

Kenyan at Heart

Meet Our Team
Sharon Kanini
Founder
My name is Sharon Kanini—a wife, mother of two, and Software Engineer. Between commutes, deadlines, and motherhood, I was caught in a cycle many Kenyan women know: doing everything for everyone, while my wellness fell to the bottom of the list. I didn’t need another meal plan or fitness challenge. I needed space to breathe—and support to try again without shame. That’s where WellNia began.
Faith Kula
Co-founder
My name is Faith Kula - a digital marketer, e-commerce specialist, and a woman who deeply values growth, impact, and intentional living. When I first connected with the vision of WellNia, I saw myself in it. I saw the everyday working woman: juggling goals, deadlines, responsibilities, and quietly trying to stay whole in the process. As someone who has spent years helping brands thrive online, I knew I also wanted to be part of something that helped women thrive offline - in their bodies, their minds, and their lives. That’s why I joined WellNia. As a woman who believes that wellness shouldn’t feel like another thing to chase. It should feel like coming home to yourself.
Coming Soon!
We’re growing our team of passionate women dedicated to your journey.
