– I aM Nkechi Deanna Njaka
I am a neuroscientist, choreographer and meditation guide in SF. I am the founder of NDN lifestyle studio, co-founder of Sitting Matters, a 2017 YBCA Truth Fellow and an upcoming 2020 Kennedy Center Artist in Residence. I am also an SF lululemon ambassador for my work in mindfulness. A bit about Me— I have spent the majority of my life investigating the relationship between the brain and the body and has always felt the significance of their integration.
I attended Scripps College in Claremont, CA where I majored in neuroscience and dance and went on to complete an MSc. in Neuroscience at the University of Edinburgh.
Through my work, research, practice and study, I have discovered that mindfulness and creativity are crucial for sustaining individual and global wellbeing.
Right now I am excited about collaborations that intersect art and wellness, I enjoy seeing clients 1:1 and doing fun wellness and mindfulness activations with brands I admire and are in alignment with.
When not publicly speaking on mindfulness, guiding people in wellness or somatic practices, I am the co-host of the podcast Dating White and the other 1/2 of the music and mindfulness project RESONANCE. Nkechi also enjoys travels around the world (pre-pandemic) with her creative partner and best friend Anna-Alexia Basile to make art.
