What does a lifetime of living and loving music look like?
From her earliest days at the piano when her legs dangled from the bench and her fingers stretched and still couldn’t reach an octave to today as her hair is turning grey around the edges and her nimble fingers still explore and create new melodies, Wendy is a lifelong musician, composer, and arranger.
You’ll feel divine inspiration and presence as the music flows through her fingers, soothing and healing a world in need.
Her compositions and improv melodies reflect the range of emotions: from sadness and loss, heaviness and weariness, to laughter and joy. Inspired by the sights and sounds of nature, from rainy cloudy days to bright sunny blue sky days, from the lofty flight of eagles to the scurrying of squirrels, Wendy creates music that carries us through both the big and small moments of daily living.
Each breath of life and hug given or received has a musical melody. Whether during gentle musical moments, jamming with a fellow musician, or just processing the day, the keyboard is her playground and she invites us along on her journey.
With her fourth album of soaking meditation music in progress, Wendy is active in a variety of musical settings:
⦁ a long-time church musician and music director
⦁ playing music at celebrations of significant life events – birthdays, funerals, weddings, family reunions.
⦁ musical activities for healing and centering
⦁ sharing music to clear out the cobwebs that we can be carrying around, and
⦁ bringing new energy to celebrations

CUSTOM MUSIC FOR WELLNESS
Wendy’s music brings rest, restoration, and joy to listeners.
During times when healing and rest are especially important, Wendy will work with you to create a custom musical journey. The music will flow through you, the sound waves of melodies inviting your cells to move, wiggle, even dance and realign to where they are happy and healthy.

Blending her many healing modalities with her training in learning development, Wendy’s custom tracks will waft through your entire body, winging to your cells, inviting movement, encouraging shifting as the notes rise and fall, reacting to the changing vibrations. Because this music is created to work at a cellular level, you can simply relax and allow it to work its magic.
These customized music compositions are well-suited to those who are preparing for surgery or recovery from, as well as those who are working through chronic stress or discomfort. The sound waves gently encourage your cells to loosen up, reminding them to return to health and wellness.

PROFESSIONAL ARRANGEMENTS
Are you a songwriter who pours your song out of your heart and into a recording or scribbled notes/chords that only you can understand? Or as your song takes shape do you come to know it so well that you don’t write much down? What about making it easy for others to do cover songs of songs you have created? Or to play along with you?
Have you ever dreamed of having your songs professionally recorded or played on the radio?
Wendy creates piano arrangements for songwriters who want to see their music come alive for others. Working closely with her songwriter and singer clients, Wendy will take your songs that live as melodies and words and turn them into sheet music.
