I’m Wende. I’m passionate about encouraging you to discover a rhythm of rest and reflection by helping you design your own monthly Personal Retreat Day practice. Here’s why:
In 2012, while preparing to move overseas with my family, I experienced a medical emergency that turned out to be brought on by stress and anxiety. Gratefully, I recovered quickly, but the episode made me realize that I hadn’t taken the time I needed to invest in my own well-being. The emergency was my wakeup call. I learned my lesson and implemented real changes by setting aside one day each month to do nothing but rest, reflect, and reorient. This practice has reaped benefits in both my personal and professional life, and it can work for you, too.
If you are looking for a system to help you design a meaningful, enjoyable life, I can help! Learn more

Beyond Personal Retreat Day
- My Personal Retreat Day practice helped me pursue my dream job as a freelance location scout for film, TV, and commercials.
- My husband Greg & I are in the empty nester stage of life and we love it! We live near Lake Norman, NC with our chihuahua mix Daisy, while our daughters live in nearby Charlotte (close enough to pop over for pizza & movie night!) Greg and I love spending time together hiking, cooking, and dreaming about our next vacation.
- I start every morning with meditation, journaling, reading, and a short walk (having a dog makes that a necessity!) In my opinion these habits are the key to a great day, and make each morning like a mini-Personal Retreat Day.
- Fun stuff: I’m a superfan of The Amazing Race (I hope to scout locations for that show someday!). I find joy soaking in a scalding hot tub reading till I’m pruny. And I absolutely love solving logic puzzles – yes, I’m a nerd!
