Hi! My name is Wendy
I am passionate about my work in this world. All that I offer is from the foundations of my own transformative and healing experiences. I work from my healed places ~ my scars not my wounds. I understand my professional scope and I am comfortable to acknowledge when a clients needs are outside of my scope. I honour my own capacity so that I am able to serve well. This is often vulnerable, intimate and deep work that requires strong ethics and integrity to ensure a proper healing container. I am a highly sensitive person, this is an innate trait, HSPs nervous systems operate at a heightened level. This means I have an increased depth of processing, emotions and empathy, and sensitivity to subtly. The HSP brain has more activity in the insula. 20% of the population live with this trait. So it is no surprise that It has taken time for me to feel comfortable in sharing myself and my work more widely. My personal life journey is complex as so many journeys are. A few areas of Familiar territory for me include complex developmental trauma, sexual ruptures and trauma, chronic pain, all levels of anxiety, disordered eating, high risk pregnancy, betrayal and hostile divorce, parenting through physical trauma and long term medical requirements for my children. Somatic experiencing allowed me to repair and heal my nervous system far beyond what I ever imagined possible. And through my somatic healing I was then able to embody my Spiritual practice and experience my spirituality on a whole new level. I live with less fragmentation, more awareness and grounded embodiment that allows me to be present in grief and joy, struggles and pleasure ~ all the mess and beauty of reality combined. I am devoted personally and professionally to weaving somatic healing and spiritual care into everyday life. |

I will not rescue you for you are not powerless. I will not fix you for you are not broken. I will not heal you for I see you in your wholeness.
I will walk with you through your darkness as you remember your light. A Medicine Woman's prayer —Sheree Bliss Tilsley
In my practice I confidently and carefully facilitate empowering sessions and hold sacred space for my clients. I specialize in working with women of all ages, but welcome everyone. When working with me, my clients have shared that they feel “seen”, “heard” and “safe” at a soul level.
For over 25 years I have studied and practiced many different types of holistic health and wellness. I bring my clients a wealth of knowledge, experience and a comprehensive approach that weaves together all of the different modalities I offer: Energy Healing, Holistic Coaching, Shamanic Healing.
I am a devoted student of life and my spiritual path. I am a life-long learner,
committed to growing and evolving as a mother, woman, friend, peer and teacher. I am deeply human, moving through life as embodied as I can on with all the messy and beautiful bits.
