“Working with Wendy to write my first book was one of the greatest things I have done in my life. Wendy has been a light who shone into my soul to uncover my clarity and my brilliance, which resulted in publishing my book. She supported me with incredible wisdom while I was giving birth to my book. I will always be grateful for her intuitive, powerful and tender handling of my soul. Thank you Wendy, for helping me to fulfil one of the biggest wishes of my life; to deliver a book, which is powerful and is helping other people change their fears into their successes.” 

Gosia Gorna, bestselling author and award-winning transformational coach

“Wendy helps you to access your unique clarity, whether it is for writing a book or facing any of life’s many challenges. She enables you to find and hold on to your own sense of stillness, with freedom and space, to connect to your being-ness and to allow your book messages and content to come forth effortlessly.”

Dr Nerina Ramlakhan, award-winning published author, physiologist and sleep therapist

“Working with Wendy makes me feel held. She helps you to feel safe, and nurtured. She has the ability to take you into the stillness to love and listen to yourself; knowing you are enough right now. When you have this knowing, you can hear the messages from within: who you are; why you are here; what you are here to create and contribute; and how to write your book.”

Rosie Tomkins, founder of Natural Capital Consultants Limited UK, management consultant and business entrepreneur

“Thank you so much for our wonderful session Wendy. You gave me so much insight about the writing process and the wisdom and guidance you provide is invaluable on my book creation and future journey. The Line of Clarity exercise we completed today has given me a much clearer understanding of what I need to do next and each step of the way forward. I loved the way you grounded my book publication goal firmly within my senses, so I can see, feel, touch, hear and taste it. And actually, know it is real, which is so empowering. You are amazing – I hope you know that. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.”
