"I'm so grateful for Well-Bean and specifically the work that Jen is doing in her therapy practice. Her commitment and care is evident and I've appreciated her sincere and direct communication. She has worked with my daughter in both a group and individual setting and I'm honored by the respect she offers her. Not only has my daughter found more useful ways to manage strong emotions, but Jen provided tools that have helped me navigate those strong emotions. We are operating more smoothly as family because of our work with Jen.

​"As a School Social Worker who sees students ages 5-25, I have found Jen's work with Mindfulness and Yoga Practices both inspirational and life-changing for myself and my students. Jen shares her information in a compassionate, peaceful and "easy to understand" way. I only wish her practice had been around when my own children were growing up. Thank-you Jen for all the kindness you spread."

"I had an amazing experience with Jen when she came to our classroom at Jenison High School. I learned so much! I am so glad she took the time out of her day to come to our classroom. She taught me so many new skills that want I to continue to do in the future. I would highly recommend taking a program. She is wonderful with teenagers."
High School Student

"Such great programs for children. The focus on mindfulness and utilizing the breath to help work through emotions is my favorite aspect of Jen's work. My 3 and 6 year old children benefit greatly from playing yoga. They absolutely love their classes. When my 6 year old was having a tough time and told me she needed to "be more present," I knew she had learned some great life long coping skills from her yoga teacher"

"A heart-felt thank you for the weeks of mindfulness education you offered our students.  They are forever changed by the ideas you offered, each taking what they needed and were ready for at the time.  The value of this is immeasurable." 
Fifth-Grade Teachers 

"We loved preschool yoga!  We loved learning how to breathe to relax, and how to do animal poses.  We love how you helped us learn that we can be silly and go to calm just as quickly.  We loved the quiet time together."  
Preschool Classroom Teacher"This was by far the most educational, informative and useful Professional Development experience to date!

"My second grade students and I were warmly visited by Jen as she presented mindfulness to our classroom.  Through her lessons and interactions, students learned ways to recognize anger and stress, and effective ways to calm themselves.  With picture books and modeling, Jen presented strategies to the children.  My class and I loved her visits and used the strategies she presented throughout the year.   As a teacher, I appreciated having the specific language and techniques Jen presented; her gentle, peaceful, and caring demeanor brought a weekly ray of sunshine to our room." 
Elementary School Teacher  

"Your presentation was a much-appreciated and much needed refresher about the importance of mindfulness.  Also, what a wonderful reminder to be more compassionate with myself"
