Our Nashville Roots and Wellness Mission

At Velana Health Co., we believe that true wellness is a journey, not a destination, especially for adults navigating the unique health landscape of midlife and beyond. Our story began right here in Nashville, born from a shared vision among certified health professionals who recognized a significant gap: personalized, evidence-based wellness solutions explicitly designed for those in their prime.

We empower adults aged 35+ to thrive by transforming complex health science into practical, actionable strategies. Our commitment extends deeply into the Nashville community, where we address specific local health challenges and lifestyle factors with solutions that are both accessible and profoundly effective. We envision a future where every adult has the tools and support to live vibrantly.
