Community Highlights: Meet Monica Kenyon of Body Mind Events, LLC

Today we’d like to introduce you to Monica Kenyon.

Hi Monica, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
The idea was to promote wellness on an event level and connect with people who provide various types of wellness services. It dawned on me that paring wellness services with local events and parties would be a win-win! When I asked people who provide services such as massage, yoga, sound baths, mani / pedis, facials, dance, psychic readings or henna art, if they wanted to be contacted to provide their services at events and parties, almost everyone was on board. That is how Body Mind Events was born. Body Mind Events is basically a referral agency for clients who want services that are rooted in wellness at their parties and events.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
In my experience, nothing is ever perfectly smooth and struggles are part of the process. I don’t like to struggle so when I bump up against things that are difficult, I tend to reach out to others to see if they have any experience to share with me. This allows me to hear different perspectives and insights into things that have and have not worked for people whom I trust and admire. There is not much in this world that I have to do solely on my own and I am truly grateful.

As you know, we’re big fans of Body Mind Events, LLC. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
At Body Mind Event, LLC, doing business as Unwind LA, we’re all about creating intentional spaces for restoration, community, and holistic wellness. Founded by Monica Kenyon, our mission is to provide immersive, thoughtfully curated experiences that help people reconnect with themselves—mind, body, and soul.

We specialize in wellness events that integrate sound healing, breathwork, yoga, movement, somatic practices, and creative workshops. Whether it’s a serene sound bath under the stars, a grounding movement session, or a corporate wellness retreat, we meet people where they are—offering tools to release stress, foster emotional resilience, and create meaningful connection.

What truly sets Unwind LA apart is our commitment to accessibility and authenticity. We believe wellness is not one-size-fits-all, and our diverse offerings reflect that. We partner with skilled practitioners from all walks of life, and prioritize creating safe, inclusive spaces for healing—especially for those who’ve felt left out of traditional wellness spaces.

Brand-wise, we’re proud to be a growing voice in LA’s wellness community that doesn’t shy away from being real. We blend modern practices with ancient wisdom, science with soul, and wellness with art. Every event we produce carries a personal touch, and that’s something our community consistently recognizes and appreciates.

To anyone reading: We’re here for you. Whether you’re seeking a moment to breathe, a deeper healing journey, or simply a chance to “unwind,” we offer experiences that nourish from the inside out.

How do you think about luck?
Luck has definitely played a role—both the kind that feels like divine timing and the kind that looks like chaos in the moment but ends up being a blessing in disguise.

In launching and growing Body Mind Events, there have been moments where the right person walked through the door at the exact time we needed them, or a collaboration opportunity appeared just when we were ready to expand. I’d call that good luck—but it was also the result of staying open, aligned, and doing the inner work to be ready when those opportunities came.

On the other side, there have been setbacks—event cancellations, last-minute venue changes, personal challenges—that felt like “bad luck” at the time. But in hindsight, those experiences taught us flexibility, humility, and how to stay grounded in our mission no matter what’s happening around us. Some of our most powerful offerings were born out of moments that didn’t go according to plan.

So yes, luck plays a part. But I also believe you create your own momentum by staying true to your purpose, building strong relationships, and being willing to adapt. For Body Mind Events, it’s less about chasing luck and more about being rooted enough to receive it when it shows up.
