About Wendy
Hi, I'm Wendy. I've been where you are.
I'm a certified coach who draws from my own lived experience and the belief that small, consistent steps can create meaningful change.


From a young age, I often felt like I didn't belong. By seven, food had become my comfort, and soon I was known as the "fat kid" at school. With it came the labels, the shame, and years of battling with my body image and self-worth.
By my teenage years, I was trapped in the cycle of an eating disorder, chasing acceptance in all the wrong ways. At the time, I didn't fully understand what I was doing. I only knew that losing weight made me feel seen.
Everything changed the day a doctor looked at me and bluntly said:
Those words shocked me to the core. Brutal, but they planted the first seed of change.
Throughout my 20s and 30s, I was still searching for balance. I replaced food with other ways to numb what I hadn't yet healed: alcohol, cigarettes, shopping, and constant busyness.
Life kept teaching its lessons: losing loved ones, watching friends battle serious illnesses, and broken relationships. Moving across cities and countries and starting over multiple times.
Eventually, I realised the answers weren't outside of me. They were within.
I started to understand the link between our thoughts, feelings, energy, and how we inhabit our bodies. I began listening to my intuition and questioning the patterns I've carried since childhood.
In my 40s, another shift occurred. I discovered strength training and developed a keen interest in nutrition and learning how to properly nourish my body. That curiosity eventually led me to become a certified Health and Wellness Coach.
But the genuine change didn't come from diet plans or exercise routines. It stemmed from healing from the inside out.
Letting go of old beliefs. Learning to listen to my body. Understanding that wellness isn't about punishment or perfection - it's about awareness, compassion, and small, consistent changes that support you through every stage of life.
Life has kept challenging me. Grief, menopause, chronic fatigue, and losing both my parents. But these experiences strengthened my understanding of what it truly means to support others through their own challenges.
I know what it feels like to struggle. To self-sabotage. To grieve. To feel unseen. I understand the freedom that comes when you start to let go of what's been holding you back.
The Hummingbird Coach was born from a simple belief: transformation doesn't have to feel heavy. Like the hummingbird - light, resilient, persistent - I guide women through change that feels natural and sustainable. Paired with the moon's cycles of action and reflection, this brand honours where you are right now, while gently guiding you toward where you're ready to grow.
My mission is to help you move forward with clarity, energy, and confidence. Whether it's your thinking, health, or the environment you live in, when these three factors start working together, life becomes much easier to manage. This isn't about extreme transformations or becoming someone new. It's about breaking free from what's been holding you back so you can step into the life you truly want.
