“I’m beyond grateful to have met Wendy in this lifetime. She taught me so much about my voice and has completely transformed the way I sing for the better.
She has a unique gift of being able to connect on a soul level, and from there it’s as if she knows exactly how to express her knowledge in a way that is helpful to that individual. If you don’t feel confident singing, taking lessons from her will quickly help your insecurities vanish.
She has a giant heart, deep wisdom, and just being around her is truly a healing experience”

I started training with Wendy when I was 15 years old. She always made me feel like I was home when I was in her studio. Her supportive approach taught me confidence through technique. I work with Wendy before all of my productions and she is instrumental in my growth as a vocalist.

“It’s hard to find the right words to even begin expressing my appreciation and gratitude for Wendy. Not only has she been an incredible mentor and vocal teacher to me, she has also become a lifelong friend. Until working with her, I never realized how many correlations exist between life and singing/artistry, Wendy helped weave them together. She not only changed my relationship and perspective towards artistry and performing, but she also changed my relationship with myself and the world around me. I am eternally grateful for the opportunity to work with her in this lifetime, it has been a true gift to me.

“Working with Wendy is not calculated, it is holistic and comprehensive. She is a creative coach who gave me the inspiration and tools to be mindful in the creative practice. Wendy taught me how to be present with my audience when performing.
Through Wendy’s many years working intimately with artists and vocalists, she recognized that the various industry pressures on artistic expression were impacting some of her clients ability to fully blossom. From this realization, her Artist Development program COMPASS was conceived. The COMPASS program empowers creatives and dissects every layer of their artistry so they can embrace their individuality, their passions, and learn the skills to recreate a magnetic and authentic brand. COMPASS was created to help uncover and rediscover their vision with conviction, and provide the tools to communicate with certainty.
