Where do I even begin… Wendy is more than a speaking coach. She’s a therapist, life coach, and mentor all in one. Working with her has been transformational. She’s helped me harness my voice, refine my delivery, and most importantly, build the confidence to speak with purpose and authenticity. What I’ve loved most about our sessions is that they’re handled with such sensitivity and flow. I can tell she’s not coaching me according to a script or what works for others. Every session feels curated just for me. Wendy has this incredible ability to listen deeply and tap into exactly what I need in that moment. If you’re looking for a coach who brings skill, heart, and soul to her work, Wendy is truly one of one.

I have been working with Wendy for quite a while now. She is an AMAZING person. Wendy's lessons are extremely helpful, and fun! I am so grateful to have found someone who is dedicated to me learning and growing. When I started, I was afraid of my own voice. I did not want to be judge by my dialect or how I mispronounced words. With Wendy's help, I am now confident in the way and how I speak. Wendy has profoundly changed the way I think about words, and how I read. Wendy is incredibly patient and wants you to succeed. I can't recommend her highly enough. Thank you, Wendy,!!

Wendy helped me prepare for a big speech and was truly amazing to work with!!! She not only helped me conquer my fear of public speaking, but helped me review and edit my speech and practice it until it I felt completely comfortable! She was warm, kind, supportive, and even reached out to encourage me the morning of my speech!! I HIGHLY recommend her services! It was a transformative experience for me! Love her ♥️

I initially reached out to Wendy for help preparing for my podcast, and she supported me through every step, helping me draft my speech, improve my deliver, and increase audience engagement. She is incredibly personable and genuinely invested in your success. Wendy goes above and beyond to help you improve, tailoring each session to your specific needs and being fully open to your suggestions. Over the course of 11 sessions, she taught me a great deal about effective communication. I've learned so much from her in a short time, and I continue to apply her training to my day to day life. She's a fantastic coach and I highly recommend her!
