Meet kanesha
Hi! I’m sooooo thrilled you’re here! I'm kanesha, owner & lead instructor of Mint to Live Training Studio in downtown Columbus, GA – a premier training studio where lifesaving education meets creativity, community, and compassion.
As a certified American Heart Association instructor with over 13 years of experience in the healthcare field, my journey has been shaped by a deep commitment to helping others. I'm a Registered Nurse, Licensed Massage Therapist, Stretch Therapist, hold a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science, & GA Train-the-trainer certified. My path has taken me through hospitals/healthcare facilities, spa &wellness centers, gyms, and now, to this exciting phenomenal training studio — a space dedicated to *you* and your ability to help save lives.
I’m honored to be a member of the American Heart Association (AHA), AHA Council on Lifestyle and Cardiometabolic Health, the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses, the American Holistic Nurses Association & American college of sports medicince conference attendee. Each of these affiliations feeds my passion for integrative health and wellness and equips me to bring a wide range of expertise into every class and training session.
Mint to Live was born out of personal experiences and professional insight — witnessing firsthand how fast life can change with sudden, life-threatening emergencies that can happen to anyone, regardless of age, background, and even for "healthy, active People." Whether it was a loved one, a patient, or friend, these moments made one thing crystal clear: everyone needs to know what to do in an emergency, not just healthcare providers. I knew I had to create a space where learning lifesaving skills isn’t just important… it’s fun, creative, simple, engaging, and totally empowering. That’s what Mint to Live is all about: real skills, real confidence, and a whole lot of heart.
this studio is more than a place to learn CPR & lifesaving skills. It’s a welcoming, high-energetic environment where the entire community can feel optimistic and inspired. From kids/teens to adults/seniors, everyone is welcome here. We laugh, we learn, we break things down in simple, relatable ways. we add a little music & movement. and we make sure every person walks out feeling well prepared to save lives. We blend evidence-based training with creativity and fun so every learner walks away not only with essential skills — but with the belief that they can make a difference.
Our committment is to make a lasting & powerful impact not just here in Columbus, GA, but globally. Through community outreach, education, and connection, we’re building a movement — one heartbeat at a time.
When I’m not at the studio or collaborating on health initiatives, you’ll find me being A mom, wife, nurse, massage therapist, enjoying time with my family and friends, traveling, or being creative.
Thank you for stopping by! I can’t wait to meet you, learn with you, teach you, grow together, and cheer you on as you become a confident, capable lifesaver. Let’s make a difference & change lives — starting with yours. Welcome to the Mint to Live family! 🖤
