Welcome home, to you.
DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?
Are you exhausted from constantly trying to fix your life or yourself?
Do you struggle with self-criticism or perfectionism or compulsive people-pleasing?
Do you feel disconnected from your authentic self or expression?
Is past trauma or high sensitivity keeping you stuck or impacting the quality of your relationships?
If you want to live with more emotional ease, confidence and freedom, the answers already lie within you. I’m here to help build a road map to find them.
The way out, is in.
You’re not broken—and you don’t need fixing.
You know something needs to shift. You’ve tried changing your thoughts, habits, maybe even your lifestyle—but somehow you still feel stuck, looping through the same patterns. Maybe you’re getting tired of trying to figure out “the problem,” endlessly chasing solutions or fixing yourself.
Here’s the thing:
We’re not just minds that think or know things. We are whole beings. Our thoughts, emotions, behaviours and how we move through the world is shaped by the experiences we’ve lived and the ways we’ve learned to adapt or protect ourselves - especially in childhood. These protective patterns become wired into our nervous system and they’re subconscious. They’re not controlled by our conscious mind so we can’t think our way out of them.
These protective patterns become woven into our posture, our breath, our mood and choices. They keep us braced, cautious, critical, exhausted. While they were adaptive at one point, they can also stop us from fully feeling, healing, or growing. They make lasting change feel out of reach.
Real change starts deeper.
That’s where somatic work comes in.
It gently brings awareness to the subconscious patterns in your body and nervous system—and gives you space, support, and tools to shift them.
This work isn’t about forcing change. It’s about returning to yourself—your rhythm, your values, your freedom.
And you don’t have to do it alone.
The right support matters. You deserve to work with someone who listens with care, invites questions, explains things clearly, and honours your pace, your consent, and your lived wisdom. Someone who helps you feel safe enough to explore, feel, and rewire the patterns that no longer serve you.
If you choose to work with me, I’ll bring the tools—trauma-informed coaching, somatic embodiment, and nervous system support—and walk beside you on the path from self-doubt and shame to confidence, clarity, and connection.
Because it’s not only possible to heal and change.
It’s possible to live with more ease, joy, vitality, and love.
You deserve that.
You are that.
If you’re ready to come home to yourself, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you.
You are already whole, let’s remember together.
WENDY MACPHERSON
Emotional Wellness and Resilience Coach
Hi, I’m Wendy.
I’m passionate about creating experiences for people to discover a true sense of who they are inside, to find compassion, purpose and belonging, to feel empowered, vital and radiant.
Growing up, I learned to shove my emotions down and hide them - to “keep calm and carry on.” Due to a volatile home environment and pressure to pretend like everything was wonderful, I felt nervous and on edge much of the time. I “walked on eggshells,” and tried really hard to be a good girl in order to soothe the emotional temperature of the household. Nobody talked about or explained anything which left me feeling alone and confused.
I hid parts of myself so well, even I had a hard time knowing what I needed or wanted. I felt guilty and anxious when I wasn’t working hard or taking care of others. I ignored my own emotions, needs and exhaustion while working hard to please, appease and gain approval. I became disconnected from myself, my coping ability, my passion for life, my purpose and life force.
In my twenties, I contracted a tropical virus and became a “long hauler” of the virus. It left my body depleted and unable to digest food properly. I suffered with “IBS,” chronic infections and endocrine issues. I was chronically fatigued, developed migraines and became even more anxious.
For two decades, I chased treatment solutions, trying desperately to find something or someone to heal me. I tried “everything” - allopathic and naturopathic medicine, diet and lifestyle changes, body work, chiropractic care, acupuncture, osteopathy, biofeedback, homeopathy, manifesting, NLP, past life regression, soul retrieval, prayer, energy work, and more. I read every health, healing and self-help book I could get my hands on and enrolled in countless workshops and trainings. Some of these therapies helped me survive my health crisis, and I still value them today, but nothing created lasting change until I started somatic practice. Somatic practices gave me the tools to rebuild trust and vitality in my body and a sense of worth and calm in my inner being. When I found somatics, everything changed.

Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn’t you — all of the expectations, all of the beliefs — and becoming who you are.
