We see you.

Whether you’re navigating rehearsals, leading a team, building a company, or stepping into emotionally demanding creative work—you’re being asked to perform at a high level, often without the support to sustain it.

And somewhere along the way, someone probably told you to “just find balance.”

That’s a nice idea.

But we know the reality: there is no perfect balance. There are only seasons. And you deserve to move through them with tools, support, and systems that actually work.

That’s why we’re here.

Who We Are

A Balancing Actress Collaborative is a performance, wellbeing, and professional development company supporting artists, teams, and organizations navigating high-performance environments.

Jen Berry is an actor, educator, and the founder of A Balancing Actress Collaborative. She knows what it feels like to tie your worth to a callback, to work three jobs and still feel financially lost, to wonder if you're the only one struggling this much. After years of living every part of what this community exists to solve, she stopped waiting for someone to build the support system artists deserve… and built it herself.

Because while this industry demands performance, very few teach sustainability.

We exist to change that.

ABA's programming is being developed in collaboration with licensed therapists and wellness professionals.

What We Do

Our work sits at the intersection of performance, wellbeing, and sustainability.

We design experiences that help people:

• Perform at a high level

• Stay connected to themselves

• Build careers and systems that last

Across all of our offerings, we focus on:

• Mental wellness education and emotional sustainability

• Communication, collaboration, and adaptability

• Creative development and expression

• Financial literacy and long-term career strategy

• Community-centered growth and support

We care just as much about how you function as we do about what you produce.

Our Mission

To empower, equip, and uplift creatives and high-performing individuals by expanding access to mental wellness education, professional development, and sustainable career tools.

We believe people do their best work when they are supported—not depleted.

And that sustainable performance is not a luxury, it’s a necessity.

What We Believe

• High performance should not require burnout

• Creativity and wellbeing are not in conflict

• Emotional sustainability is a skill that can be taught

• Artists and professionals deserve systems that support longevity

• Community is not optional, it’s foundational

A Note on Our Approach

All of our services are educational and skills-based.

We provide tools, frameworks, and support designed to help individuals and teams navigate performance demands, creative work, and career development in a sustainable way.

We do not provide psychotherapy, mental health treatment, or establish a clinical therapeutic relationship within our programs.

We also do not provide financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Any financial education offered is for informational and educational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for working with a licensed financial advisor or other qualified professional.

Individuals seeking clinical or professional services will be encouraged to connect with appropriately licensed providers.

You Don’t Have to Do This Alone
