⭐️Staff Spotlight - Tanailyn Pernell⭐️
For the past 24 years, Tanailyn has faithfully served Health Directions with her exceptional teaching, planning, and coordination skills. In her current role overseeing member services and group fitness operations, she leads with a spirit of excellence. She thrives on finding solutions, multitasking, and helping others succeed.
As a Health Promotion Consultant, Tanailyn introduced the concept of the Seven Dimensions of Wellness to our team. Recognizing that wellness extends far beyond physical appearance, Health Directions has embraced her vision of helping each member grow in balance across all areas of life.
While completing her master’s degree in pastoral counseling, Tanailyn interned at Lexington Health, where she comforted and encouraged hospital patients and employees. Today, she continues to promote emotional, mental, and spiritual wholeness through her service as an associate chaplain—a role that perfectly complements her whole-person approach to wellness.
Tanailyn shares, “My relationship with Jesus Christ fills my life with profound love, joy, and peace, providing me with a sense of purpose. My greatest desire is to be in Christ and to embody His mindset, completely led by the Holy Spirit. Each day, I wake up with joy and excitement in my heart, eager to witness what God is doing within me and what He intends to achieve through my yielded vessel.”
Whether she’s teaching classes, coordinating events, or helping others find peace, Tanailyn is an incredible asset to our Health Directions family.
