Kate Stella, MBA, NBC-HWC, Lead Health Coach & Director of Wellness Services

Kate Stella is the Lead Health Coach and Director of Wellness Services at Synergy Private Health. As a National Board-Certified and Duke-trained Lifestyle Coach, she brings to Synergy a decade of coaching experience, including a private practice and five years at Massachusetts General Hospital’s Concierge Medicine & Executive Health Services practice. 

Kate holds an MBA from the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia and a BA from Bates College. Her professional background in marketing and organizational change management led her to pivot her career, allowing her to merge her business acumen with a deep-seated interest in preventive care. Today, she translates those high-level change management principles into science-backed behavior modification for Synergy’s members.

By utilizing Positive Psychology and Motivational Interviewing, Kate empowers members to meet their own self-determined wellness goals. She is a firm believer that the most effective transformation stems from authentic motivation and small, incremental adjustments. Kate loves partnering with Synergy members to build the confidence and toolkit necessary to clarify their personal vision of health and overcome obstacles—always ensuring the process is as engaging and enjoyable as the results are sustainable. 

Outside of work, Kate enjoys strength training, practicing yoga, experimenting with plant-based baking, and exploring the outdoors near and far with her husband and two young sons.
