We had the good fortune of connecting with Jena Catalano and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jena, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?

After graduating college, I knew I wanted to start a business of some kind, and I’ve always been well-connected with the wellness space! After working in the fashion PR industry and hosting events, I saw the need for a space to say yes to you and practice self-care through wellness events & experiences, so I combined my love for marketing and wellness to create AIRE Wellness.

After working stressful 9-5s and suffering from gut health issues, I wanted to create a space for those individuals to take time out of their busy schedules and treat themselves to a positive, self-care experience, plus gain new friendships! We host multiple monthly events, including yoga, pilates, sound baths, meditation, hypnotherapy, and more. All while connecting with like-minded sponsors to treat our guests to our exclusive event gift bags.

What should our readers know about your business?

AIRE Wellness is a Los Angeles-based lifestyle and luxury wellness community that empowers individuals to prioritize their well-being and live their healthiest lives amidst active daily schedules! AIRE offers a range of online content, events, and experiences that incorporate wellness practices & foster a sense of community among like-minded individuals.

As we are coming up on AIRE’s one-year anniversary, our mission continues to provide a pause in our community’s hectic schedules, encouraging them to prioritize self-care, wellness routines, & personal growth!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?

Starting off in Venice for a morning beach walk, then heading over to Erin Mckenna’s Bakery for some gluten-free treats and shopping at Abbott Kinney. Then, we’d head to Sugarfish for a late lunch.

Afterward, we’d head to an AIRE Wellness event for self-care and goodies; then, we would end the day with dinner at Laurel Hardware!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Absolutely! There are so many exceptional individuals who I’ve connected with and inspired my efforts! Starting with my mom, who introduced me to the world of wellness, and my boyfriend, who helped and encouraged the development of AIRE! I’d also love to give a shoutout to Now Here LA, 736 Studios, & Autumn Adele for all of their amazing energy and positive light shed towards AIRE Wellness and others!
