About Kinfolk Rising
I’m Jena Berenberg, a seasoned wellness leader, former spa & salon owner, and passionate advocate for mindful leadership. With years of experience in the spa and wellness, hospitality, retail and service industry, I understand the challenges of balancing business growth with personal well-being. My journey has been shaped by a deep commitment to fostering authentic connections, cultivating strong teams, and creating businesses that thrive without sacrificing the health and happiness of their leaders.
As the founder of Kinfolk Rising, I specialize in empowering spa owners and wellness entrepreneurs to transform their leadership skills, build cohesive teams, achieve financial clarity, create thoughtfully designed wellness spaces and find balance and peace in the intersections of our personal and professional worlds. I believe true success comes from aligning professional goals with personal values, and I’m here to guide others toward that balance.
When I’m not coaching, you’ll find me exploring the intersection of spirituality and leadership, reconnecting with ancestral wisdom, and embracing life in the beautiful Caribbean and northern california. I’m dedicated to helping others rise to their fullest potential with grace, resilience, and purpose.
