Description
Hi, my name is Wendy.
An early retiree ( not to be confused )
- I am very physically active, strong, and sharp.
After a long and rewarding career in a fast-paced, demanding management role, I am ready for the next exciting phase of my life's journey. Traveling, immersing myself fully into new cultures, and learning new languages. I also have a deep interest in learning about plant medicine and sustainable living.
I am caring, intuitive, energetic, and mindful of every living thing around me. I do not smoke, drink, or put any drugs into my body. I love that I now get to hike and practice daily energy work that includes chakra alignment, grounding, meditation, and breathwork.
I feel deeply connected to and naturally bond with animals.
This last year, I have been house sitting, combined with animal care, land care, and some child care, solely from referrals. -
