What started with a love of candles, home fragrance, and beautiful design has grown into a small-batch candle company and storefront right here in Berea.

Meet Jennifer, the owner and maker behind Modern Zen Candle Company. Founded in 2021 and opened as a Berea storefront in 2025, Modern Zen creates hand-poured soy candles using 100% soy wax and high-quality, phthalate-free fragrances.

For Jennifer, Modern Zen is about more than making candles. It’s about creating something beautiful, intentional, and uniquely her own. She’s involved in every detail—from blending fragrances and pouring candles to designing labels, laser-etching wood lids, and creating the displays in her shop.

And you can experience that creativity for yourself! Through Modern Zen Social Candle Making Experiences, visitors can create their own custom fragrance blend and make a soy candle from start to finish to take home.

Now, Jennifer is preparing to unveil her 2026 Fall Collection, featuring new fragrances alongside returning seasonal favorites.

Proud to be a Kentucky Crafted Artist and Kentucky Proud Certified business, Modern Zen is a wonderful example of the creativity and craftsmanship that make Berea such a special place to visit—and a little piece of Berea worth taking home.

There is a different way to get to know Berea.

Not through a map. Not through a list of attractions. But by following a trail.

Step onto one of Berea's trails and the landscape begins to tell its own story. The forest, hills, and changing seasons offer a glimpse into the natural beauty that has always been part of life here. Follow that trail a little farther, and you'll find yourself connected to the community, culture, and creativity that make Berea distinctive.

Being a Certified Trail Town is more than a designation. It reflects Berea's commitment to creating places where people can experience the outdoors while discovering the community around them.



In Berea, the trail is more than a path through the woods. It's a way of seeing the place differently.

Four years ago, Fernanda turned a lifelong dream into a welcoming spot right here in Berea.

Since she was a teenager, Fernanda dreamed of owning her own business — something that could make a positive difference in people’s lives. When she discovered Herbalife products, she saw an opportunity to combine that dream with her passion for helping others feel healthier, more energized, and confident.

And so, Berea Nutrition was born.

Located at 711 Chestnut Street, Berea Nutrition has spent the past four years becoming more than just a place to grab a protein shake or energy drink. For Fernanda, it’s about creating a space where people feel welcome, meet new friends, and discover delicious options that fit their lifestyles.

Whether you're a longtime Berea local or just passing through town, Fernanda and her team are ready to welcome you with a smile — and perhaps a shake to brighten your day.

So next time you're exploring Berea, stop by, try a protein shake or energy drink, and say hello to Fernanda!
