STORY BEHIND MINDFUL ADAPTATIONS, LLC

 Hi, my name is Chandra (Taormina) Chappell, MS - founder and owner of Mindful Adaptations, LLC - established in 2020.  Thank you for taking the time to view this site.

As a former therapist, I specialized in treating children and teens who had a diagnosed specified anxiety disorder and / or diagnoses of depression, and / or suicidal ideation.  After taking a break from my career to stay at home with my children during their early years, I followed my passion to create a business built on a holistic approach to mental, physical, and emotional wellness for children, teens, and adults.   Skills and techniques that Mindful Adaptations believes in teaching and implementing are techniques that I have learned, utilized, and adapted through my professional and personal life.  Skills that Mindful Adaptations teaches are skills that I use with my own children and in my daily life.  Although, no two people are the same and what may work for one person may not work for another.  The trick is to discover what works for you.
