Meet Wendy
While practicing yoga for many years, Wendy started a daily meditation practice in 2015 to help her manage stress. Meditation taught her to slow down & become present - two abilities that have been life-changing in so many ways. She loves to share her experiences to help others find peace in an otherwise stressful world.
Wendy’s teaching style is open and relaxed. Her classes are interactive, and she encourages participation. She wholeheartedly believes that everyone can meditate once you understand the basics: all it starts with is one breath at a time. Wendy enjoys teaching a variety of ways to meditate, knowing that one size does not fit all, to help you find the style and techniques that best support you.
Wendy earned her teaching certification from the Koru Mindfulness Center in 2020. The Koru Mindfulness program is an evidence-based curriculum designed at Duke University. Wendy has taught students of diverse ages, from young adults to senior citizens.
