ABOUT
Laena Mira is a wellness coach, educator, and doula. She grew up immersed in a rural mindset that a fulfilling life is rooted in a healthy, balanced body and the practice of contemplation. This imprinting developed into an urban survival ethos: that connection and awareness of our bodies, community, and how we inspire & nourish ourselves creates a richer, more meaningful life.

In addition to her work as a wellness coach, Laena is the founder and CEO of Anarchy in a Jar. Laena grew up making preserves with her family in New York’s Hudson Valley. An international career in science support and academia ignited her interest in food, and she learned creative recipes from people she met around the world for preserved foods that were both tasty and healing. Laena landed back in NYC and decided to make her passion for preservation into a business. She launched Anarchy in a Jar in 2009, embracing a revived demand for fresh, local, creative food. With help from her team of tasters, fellow food makers and fans, she grew the business into a plant-based condiment powerhouse, where she stirs her eclectic experience and passion for plants into elixirs of the jar. |
