Today we’d like to introduce you to Kathleen Uhran.
Hi Kathleen, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I’m Katie! I grew up chasing waves and never stopped — Nantucket isn’t just where I live, it’s woven into everything I am.
I’m a Nantucket-based wellness guide with a deep passion for helping people feel their absolute best from the inside out. My approach to wellness is rooted in the belief that true health is personal — it’s not one-size-fits-all, and it’s not about perfection. It’s about nourishing your body, moving in ways that bring you joy, and building a life that genuinely feels good.
Living on this beautiful island has shaped everything about how I approach well-being. The ocean grounds me. Early morning runs and surf sessions fill my cup. Long walks with my rescue dogs remind me to slow down and be present. These aren’t just hobbies — they’re the foundation of the philosophy I bring to every client I work with.
At The Wellness Concierge, I offer a truly personalized experience — weaving together nutrition and health coaching, intentional movement, and holistic wellness practices to meet you exactly where you are. Whether you’re looking to reset your relationship with food, find a fitness routine that actually sticks, or simply feel more energized and alive, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
Nantucket is a special place, and the people who find their way here deserve to feel as vibrant as the world around them.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It has not been a smooth road. Starting your own business always has hurdles. I knew that this past winter was the right time to put my dream into reality, because it came naturally and wasn’t forced. In the past, I have always trying to force things, both personally and professionally, but starting The Wellness Concierge came together fast and furious. I had the right people on my team. The words, the vision, the images, the message came effortlessly.
Other struggles that I encountered along the way really had to deal with who I was surrounding myself with. I was burned in the past and trusting others again took a lot of time and research. But having the time to do that allowed me find my amazing team and I couldn’t be more happier.
The biggest struggle right now is getting teenage girls to sign up for my “Surf Siren” camp. The season is short on Nantucket. The waves aren’t consistent. And breaking into the surf scene on the island is hard. It is going to take time, consistency, and a new marketing plan come 2027, but that is okay. People KNOW about the camp. I have gotten a lot of inquiries. I just wasn’t able to get the sign up.
Overall, I have been very grateful with my first season of The Wellness Concierge. It has been extremely successful and I look forward to this winter to fine tuning everything and planning for 2027. I am truly blessed. I am beyond happy. And I love what I do.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about The Wellness Concierge?
The Nantucket Wellness Concierge is your personal guide to wellbeing on the island. We curate tailored wellness experiences that blend ocean-minded living, restorative movement, and mindful self‑care. From private yoga and surf camps to guided nature walks, ocean therapy, spa appointments, nutrition consultations, and bespoke retreat planning, we handle every detail so you can relax, restore, and reconnect.
The Nantucket Wellness Concierge is unique, because there is no other concierge service on the island that specializes in what we offer. We design personalized itineraries around your goals—stress relief, fitness, recovery, or deeper self‑discovery—and connect you with top local practitioners. Friendly, discrete, and deeply rooted in Nantucket’s natural rhythms, we help you move well, sleep better, and leave feeling renewed.
We deliver concierge-style fitness and nutrition — one-on-one personal training, meal plans, bespoke wellness packages, and guided surf camps — all designed for people who live for the sea and sand. We blend proven, results-driven programs with island lifestyle convenience so you feel stronger, healthier, and more present while enjoying your time on Nantucket. We believe in wellness that works, that is sustainable, educational, enjoyable, and inspiring and is made for life by the water.
What are your plans for the future?
The plans for summer 2027 are to really focus on the Surf Siren camp. I would love to include one for not only teenage girls, but older women. That camp would include surf, yoga, and wine tastings. There is a lot of interest on the island for both of these offerings and this off season, I will be fine tuning the details, so we are ready to launch for next summer. It is going to be inspiring and beautiful.
I will also be spending the off season working on Penny’s Pantry, which would be meal prep for dog owners. I believe that this would be a great offering to both locals and summer residents. Healthy, delicious, simple, real food for their pups and delivered straight to their doors.
Otherwise, the off season will be a time to reset, recharge, and fine tune the business, so we are ready to go starting in April 2027.
