Kiana Terrell is a community builder, healthcare professional, and the founder of Nola Miles Club—a wellness movement rooted in one belief: health should be proactive, accessible, and built in community.

​

After working in population health, Kiana saw a hard truth—Louisiana consistently ranks near the bottom in the nation for health outcomes, with care often beginning only after something has already gone wrong.

She wanted to change that.

​

Nola Miles Club was created as a response—a space where people can take ownership of their health through movement, connection, and access to resources that support real lifestyle change.

​

What began as a small gathering has grown into a thriving wellness collective, with 300–400 people showing up weekly and a growing digital community of over 25,000. Through partnerships and community-driven programming, Nola Miles Club has generated over $90,000 in economic impact for local businesses while connecting members to opportunities beyond fitness—including jobs, brand partnerships, and access to wellness services.

​

But the vision goes further.

​

Kiana is building toward a future where Nola Miles Club becomes a physical wellness hub and a strategic partner to health systems—redefining what preventative care looks like and creating a model that can scale beyond New Orleans.

 

Her goal is simple:

To build something people don’t just attend—but belong to.
