Hi! My name is Wendi. If you found this website you must already know what I do. The purpose of my blog is to share what I have learned on my journey as a Reiki Master Teacher, Yoga Teacher & Empath.

We live in a time when the internet offers a lot of information. With the implementation of AI becoming more common, the line between organic and artificial is becoming less transparent. I promise that the thoughts I share on my website are 100 % me. The thoughts may not always be linear but they are human.

Growing up, I was really sweet, kind and soft-spoken but I have never been rule follower. I cared about keeping the peace while sustaining outward appearances but internally I always had an understanding that no one in my life could extinguish my light. There were many people who tried. That's not to say that I didn't care about people. That's really all I ever cared about. I spent time volunteering and helping people who needed assistance. I spent some time with Habitat for Humanity and almost had the frame of a house fall on my head (I realized quickly that I was not cut out for carpentry). I was a big sister for kids who came from underprivileged homes and foster care. I spent time at a women's shelter with my mom so she could bring them clothes and food. I saw from a young age that this world was unfair and needed a lot of help. So, my rebellion never really came from a place of animosity for people but rather a deep-rooted need to rebel against a system that felt unfair.

As a child, I was quiet. People confused my quiet nature with being shy. I wouldn't say that I have ever been really shy. I could easily walk into a room and make a friend, but most of the time I would much rather keep to myself and observe. I would spend time reading the energy of a room. Over time, I figured out that if I could make people laugh, I wouldn't have to make small talk. Also, it would make them happy, and this made me feel happy (although usually not happy enough to want to stay anywhere for more than 2 hours). This is where my people pleasing tendencies tended to be revealed the most.

When I was little I had a big group of friends. Once I got older, the drama of going through puberty became pretty intense and I felt much better keeping my energy self-contained and with smaller groups of people. I loved the time I spent with my friends. The best parts were going for drives in high school, getting coffee, listening to music and laughing. The hardest parts were my lack of self-worth, low self-esteem and not understanding why I felt so different from everyone else. I had a hard time processing a lot of overwhelming emotions that I never realized were coming from the external world as well as my inner world.

Fast forward through many years of moving through life feeling like an outsider and not really understanding why. Experiencing pain and suffering because of lessons that I continued to ignore and instead chose to barrel through without grace or self-awareness. I was a skinny little girl lost in a maze of mirrors that were reflecting back all of my insecurities, pain, lack of awareness and self-worth. All the while understanding that I was different for a reason. I knew that I was. I knew that I did not come here to conform or surrender to society's madness.

So, my path is unconventional. Sometimes messy but definitely human. There is nothing really inhuman about spirituality. We have plenty of time to spend in the spirit world when we are not in a physical form. We are here to experience humanity. To explore our inner worlds like detectives in order to identify and release the patterns that keep us from healing. The patterns that keep us stuck in karmic loops and inhibit our connection to the power that is within. Power is not wealth and status. Power is self-worth, knowledge, self-awareness, and empathy. It is learning about who we really are outside of external expectations and demands. The practices that I offer people will hopefully help with this process of unlearning what society and our environment have ingrained in us. But the most important aspect of my work is seeing people for who they are without judgment. It is the practice of unconditional love that will ultimately offer enlightenment and peace. We do that collectively after finding our own source of love, light, and truth in a world that is plagued with illusion.
