Testimonials
It’s amazing what coaching can do when you have the full attention of someone as talented as Wendy. She helped me understand the scope of decision making needed, and how to navigate the landscape of my internal hurdles. I would recommend working with her to anyone who knows there’s a better way, and just needs instructions on how to get there. She makes the load so much lighter!

I have been engaging with various forms of coaching for the last 20 years. I have worked with so many incredible professionals, but none of them made such a dramatic difference, in such a short period of time, the way Wendy did. Her ability to listen, reflect and inquire to really uncover the unconscious operating systems at work and provide applicable solutions, is unmatched. Wendy has a gift, one that has been fine-tuned over her years of experience and education, yet is something you cannot learn. You either have IT or you don't. The amount of IT that moves through Wendy, is hard to explain and can only be felt and experienced. In the last year of working with her, I have made tremendous progress within my professional and personal life, my inner AND outer world have improved thanks to her guidance. My time with Wendy has opened up new possibilities in love, self-understanding, and practical execution. I refer to her as my fairy godmother because I cannot find any better way to describe her impact on my growth and inner well-being. Eternally grateful for our time together.

Wendy is engaged, thoughtful, wise and funny. She was (regularly) able to see thru my bullshit and asked just the right question, at just the right time. I felt supported, challenged, empowered and was able to reach powerful transformation.
— Christy
Working with Wendy has changed my life! During the past year, Wendy’s coaching inspired personal transformations that positively impacted me, and by extension, my family. Wendy’s attentive listening, adept intuition, and candid advice combined into a powerful experience that was both soothing and provoking. Talking with Wendy is like talking directly to your soul: your true inner self that was out of practice speaking up suddenly finds its voice. I wish everyone could experience the life-altering gift of coaching sessions with Wendy!

Wendy hears what I have to say without judgement and guides me on a path to be successful -- and to define what success is for me. She is kind, thoughtful and professional and I feel comfortable and safe talking to her. Wendy has guided me to see myself more clearly and that has helped reduce my barriers to success. I did not expect coaching to actually work, but the benefits are clear; I am less stressed out, and I'm making progress on my life goals.

Wendy is a warm, thoughtful, experienced, engaging and purposeful facilitator. We’ve had the privilege of having Wendy work with the management team of our small non-profit during challenging and pivotal times in the organization’s work. Wendy took the time to listen to our team’s sense of loss, to challenge us to think and dig deeper, to push when we needed it and to acknowledge where we have been. She knows when to ask probing questions and when to offer suggestions. She uses techniques and methodologies that appear effortless but I know require skill in their execution. She exudes warmth even when pushing us outside our comfort zones so that true progress could be made. Our organization is forever indebted to Wendy for the compassionate, strong and content-rich approach she used when expertly guiding us toward progress. I do not hesitate to enthusiastically recommend Wendy to anyone hoping to move forward with impactful work.
