  • Description

    Hi there, I’m Wendy!

    33 years and ticking, born in The Netherlands, but spend my forming years in Australia and New Zealand. I am a curious, exploring person who get's excited about learning new skills, hear people's life stories and expand my horizon in every sense. People who know me well would describe me as enthusiastic, kind-hearted and do-er, rather than thinker.

    🌿 My roots & what I bring
    For about 7 years I lived sustainably in Australia. I learned by doing: regenerative farms, permaculture & biodynamics, herd care of cows and pigs, land restoration, animal care… I found my heart in the soil and in the rhythms of nature. It shaped me — simple yet rich living, being present, and honoring what sustains us.

    Through my business, The Well : Coming, I weave together practices that feel like home: Yoga & Pilates for grounded movement; feasts that feed both body & soul; gatherings that celebrate belonging.

    🌱 What moves me, what I value
    Gentle, mindful movement
    Shared meals & celebrations
    Beauty in simplicity, awareness of seasons and cycles, kindness in every interaction.
    Caring for land and animals, stewarding it rather than controlling — returning more than I take.

    💫 What I’m looking for with workaway
    I’m excited to join communities or projects where I can offer:
    Hands-on farming skills: permaculture, biodynamics, animal-care, land work
    Helping to host & create welcoming gatherings, simple ceremonies, shared meals
    Assisting in wellness-oriented retreats or spaces: movement, mindfulness, connection

    🌸And I’m hoping to find hosts who:
    Embrace slow, intentional living
    Value honest connection: with people, place, nature
    Are open to sharing & collaborating — learning from each other and growing together

    If this resonates, I would love to spend time with you, tending soil, sharing meals, moving in kindness, and tending to our well-being.

    Warmly,
    Wendy
