Meet Wendy
Hi! Welcome to my website. I love meeting new people, especially those with unique stories because it is here where we can find a deeper connection with God and others. Some of our stories are full of excitement, adventure, deep love and soaring joy, while others are stories of pain, loss, heartbreak and profound sorrow.
Regardless of your journey, I want to tell you that no matter where you have walked, your story matters to the world and most importantly to God who loves you unconditionally. My own story continues to teach me the resounding faithfulness of God’s goodness and love despite the hard circumstances of life.
As we chat, we might realize we are more alike than we are different and hopefully our stories create authentic relationships that are full of empathy, compassion, and love for one another.
Education + Background
A little about me that you wouldn’t know by checking out my course offerings is that I will forever be a dance enthusiast trained in ballet from a young age. I followed my dancing passion to the University of Washington where I earned a BA in Dance with a dream to own and operate WSD, Washington School of Dance in the Pacific Northwest for over a decade.
After the selling my business in 2009, I decided to devote more time to my family. I wrote the G.L.O.S.S. for girls course when my daughters were pre-teens to teach them the timeless treasures of True Beauty and Beloved Identity found in God’s Word. Many young girls and moms joined this fun adventure through a home-based ministry in Biblical Parenting and Teen Discipleship Courses.
I have received my Masters in Education Admin/Leadership from Grand Canyon University. My greatest loves are my adult daughters, Audrey & Annie.
Why Courses & Coaching
The courses you will find here were developed out of my own personal life seasons where I saw a need and endeavored to fill it with useful tools that would help others. My most recent endeavor is the “Healing your Story” Course.
At this stage and season of life I have traversed through higher education, the start-up and sale of a business, the 4 quarters of the parenting journey, book writing and course development for teen girls, as well as mentoring and coaching educators.
Finding Yourself Here
I believe the best version of ourselves often blooms out of a deep season of suffering. But somehow despite what you feel on the inside you have made a choice to trust and believe that God works all things for the good of those that love him. So, you walk by faith and not by sight to discover a God that loves you deeper than you imagined. If we have grieved well and tended to our hearts with compassion and kindness, sharing our stories in places of safety sets us free from the power they hold over us. This is where we find our Beloved Identity in Jesus!
You do the hard work of healing and come to an understanding that God didn’t simply send His son to save you for some greater glory in heaven while you fumble your way through this messy life, but instead, He ultimately came to step into your story and mine with a goal to heal, redeem and set us free. You and I were designed to walk in victory with a beautiful new identity not defined by our circumstances. His greatest work is done when we courageously walk through our pain, allowing God full access to our stories as He gently heals our broken hearts.
"Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy. Those who go out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with them."
Psalm 126:5-6
In conclusion, I love Jesus and His Word, reading great books, writing, deep friendships, good food and coffee/tea, exploring farmers markets, indulging in musical/dance productions, outdoor walks, fitness classes, and watching The Chosen Series. I currently call Tucson, AZ home where there is plenty of sunshine. Hoping you’ll join me in this journey of life where knowing God and each other is the best part of life!
“Our great God will give you ALL that you have need of in this life. We have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit that is from God, so that we may know the things freely give to us by God.” 1 Corinthians 2:12
