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
