Meet your Coach
Welcome! I’m glad you are here.
“I am nourished, calm, strong and joyful. The ways that I eat, travel, explore, donate and shop make for a more sustainable future. I am surrounded by nature and water, connected to my people and my next adventure is on the horizon..”
This is my personal wellness vision for myself. As a coach, my goal is to help others to create their unique wellness visions and to take steps to make them a reality.

15 years ago, I found myself living a life that was exhausting and unfulfilling. I was moving at an unhealthy pace. I prioritized everyone else over myself, I partied and relied heavily on alcohol. I was tired, stressed and unhappy. I was ready for change.
I found my individual path to wellness by slowing down and listening to my body. I learned more about nutrition and paid close attention to how food impacted me. On long runs and during yoga, I welcomed deep introspection and reflection. I embraced the values of respect, humility, community and confidence while practicing Muay Thai. As a fighter, I learned about the power of meditation and gratitude journaling. I did a lot of difficult work to examine my relationship with alcohol and came to understand who I am without clouded judgment. Over many years, I slowly made changes to my habits, routines, mindsets and relationships. My wellness vision continues to drive me each day.
I spent the first 20 years of my career in non-profit roles that focused on education, professional development and coaching adults. While these roles and social impact fulfilled me, my personal change journey continued to lead me to ponder a career shift to the wellness field. Friends and family asked me for exercise and food advice. I led small group workouts for my coworkers. I knew in my gut that I wanted to share what I had learned with others. With a bachelor's degree in Psychology, a Master’s degree in Education and many years of experience coaching and leading adults, it was a natural progression into wellness coaching. I earned professional certifications in nutrition and personal training and officially launched Well Bean in October, 2019.
Since that time, I have worked with so many incredible clients to help them to make their individual wellness visions a reality. I continued my education and am now a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach. The Well Bean Signature Coaching Program, a six-month personalized journey, helps clients to intentionally set daily habits to lead to lifelong change.
Well Bean is just me, Jackie Bean (hi:) I spend as much time outside as I can. I love to hike with my pack, camp, stand up paddleboard, travel and be near water - oceans, rivers, lakes, lagoons - I am in awe of all of them. Rainbows and hummingbirds make me squeal in delight and bring me an unreasonable amount of joy. I am extremely active in Muay Thai; I train, teach students of all ages and have competed in numerous national events. I eat a mainly plant-based diet, I garden at home and love to experiment in the kitchen. I am passionate about sustainability and am constantly seeking ways to waste less and to enjoy more. I’m a dog lover. My partner Justin and I are happy to share our home with our rescue pup “Logan,” a handsome, fluffy and very talkative Germanian Shepsky (German Shepherd / Husky Mix). I’m looking forward to meeting you!
