Jen Rapanos is the owner of Well-Bean, LLC., a mom of two amazing kids, and a licensed clinical social worker. She believes in world peace and trusts that it starts with our children! One of her favorite places to be is on a yoga mat with kids, watching them discover the power of their own breath! A long time yogi and meditator, Jen also holds a Master's Degree in Social Work with over twenty years of practice in mental health. She is registered with the Yoga Alliance as a E-RYT 200, RCYT and YACEP. Jen has completed the 8-week Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction course and along with her daily practice, attends silent meditation retreats at Insight Meditation Society. She has training with Mindful Schools, and continuing education experiences with esteemed teachers Jon Kabat Zinn, Dan Siegel, Jack Kornfield and Kristin Neff.
In 2014 Jen developed Well-Bean, inspired to blend her mental health background with yoga and mindfulness meditation for a more holistic approach to working youth. She has a passion for education and collaboration and finds joy in sharing her knowledge and learning from others. As a life-long learner, Jen continues to find inspiration for Well-Bean programs through continued education opportunities and staying current with research in her fields of study. She is humbly grateful for the opportunity to work with so many children and continues to believes wholeheartedly that they are her greatest teachers! |
