About BANA

Stephani Fenkanyn, CNP, M.Sc.(OT), B.HK

I grew up in Tecumseh, Ontario and I attended the University in Windsor for my undergraduate degree in Human Kinetics and completed a minor in Psychology. From there, I went on to Western University and attained a Master’s of Science in Occupational Therapy (OT). After working in OT for some time, I was inspired by my own personal health struggles and went back to school at The Institute of Holistic Nutrition in Toronto. I received a Diploma in Applied Holistic Nutrition and the designation of Certified Nutritional Practitioner (CNP). I spent the next few years in Toronto, seeing clients and collaborating with companies in the holistic health field for recipe development and content curation. I continue to see clients privately and work as a body positive nutritionist when treating my clients.

One of my main passions is empowering individuals to love their bodies and to fuel them so they can thrive and live full, happy lives. I accepted my role as Health Educator at BANA in August of 2018 and I feel as though all my past educational and work experiences come together to benefit me in this position. I can’t wait to see where it takes me! I really enjoy being on the team at BANA because it provides variety, fun and interacting with a wide variety of people.

When I am not working, I love practicing yoga, getting outdoors, travelling and spending quality time with my niece and nephew. Some of my long term goals are: to further my own business as a Health At Every Size (HAES) nutritionist, speak at WE Day and to gain my yoga teaching certification.

Chandima Weeratunga, CPA, CGA

I am a graduate from St. Clair College in Business Administration-Accounting and the University of Windsor with a degree in Business Management. I am certified in CGA (Certified General Accountant) and CPA (Certified Professional Accountant).
I joined BANA in 2007 and I’m currently working as an accountant. In addition to the accounting work, I am responsible for the government reporting for BANA.
I am a mother of two boys, 20 and 15, with a busy schedule. Whenever I find a time I enjoy watching TV shows, and talking to my parents who live overseas.

Nicole Boulanger, RD

Originally from Barrie, ON, I have been at BANA since January 2014. I completed my BSc (Human Ecology) Honours degree in Foods and Nutrition at Brescia University College (of University of Western Ontario) followed by my internship at the Northern Ontario Dietetic Internship Program in Barrie. I am passionate about helping individuals improve their relationship with food and ultimately their quality of life.

A little more about me… I love spending time with my family and friends, but most of all my son. I enjoy traveling and discovering new places and activities. In my spare time, I have fun cooking (trying new recipes), exploring the outdoors and doing sports/activities (acro, yoga, biking, running, hiking, rock climbing).
