As The Authenticity Coach, Wendy continues to pursue her life-long love of planning as well as her passion for supporting her clients, in one-on-one highly personalized relationships. She digs deep with her clients, speaking to the proverbial elephant in the room and striving to fully understand each client’s dream – the real goal behind the surface goal. Wendy is a nonstop cheerleader, helping her clients to maintain momentum when encouragement is most needed. 

And she is the no-nonsense general contractor, coordinating all of the tactics to allow each of her clients to construct the “new home” of their ideal vision. Wendy is incredibly grateful to be doing work that makes her heart leap – partnering with her clients to thoughtfully clarify, and then expertly create, the life of their dreams.
