Welcome to Whole Person Finance, where financial wellness leads to overall life satisfaction.

I’m Wendy, and I’m a dedicated advocate for financial wellness and its power to transform lives. My mission? To help you achieve your financial vision and live a life you love.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with many individuals with concerns about their financial well-being. These experiences have shown me how financial challenges can ripple through every aspect of life—from health to relationships to career satisfaction.

But I’ve also witnessed something remarkable: When people work through these financial issues, they often experience profound growth across all dimensions of their lives.

Inspired by these transformations, I’ve devoted myself to developing innovative, effective strategies that not only shield you from financial stress but also unlock the life-changing potential of true financial wellness.

Whole Person Finance isn’t just about numbers in an account. It’s about nurturing your whole self through smart financial practices. Ready to start your journey?

My Story

Three pivotal life events, each years apart, profoundly shaped my understanding of financial wellness. One of these—a family medical crisis—stripped away all my material assets, forcing me to start from scratch. (You can read more about my story here.)

These experiences taught me invaluable lessons about:

  • Resilience in the face of financial adversity
  • The complex responses surrounding financial shifts: fear, shame, stress, anger, vulnerability, and more
  • The critical importance of holistic financial well-being

These events taught me that it’s possible to come through a financial crisis stronger and smarter than before. They deepened my empathy for those experiencing similar challenges. And they showed me the interplay between financial well-being and the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual sides of life.

These insights ignited a passion to help others, leading me to pursue more formal education and specialized training.

To deepen my understanding of human behavior and grow my skill set in effecting lasting change, I:

  • Earned a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree
  • Obtained specialized certifications in financial social work and financial education (Read more about my qualifications on LinkedIn.)

Today, my unique blend of lived experience and professional expertise allows me to offer a compassionate, whole-person approach to financial wellness. I address both holistic well-being and practical needs, guiding you towards not just financial fulfillment, but a richer, more rewarding life overall.

I started Whole Person Finance with a clear mission: to share the knowledge and insights I’ve gained throughout my journey and help others achieve true financial wellness.

My goal is to offer a unique blend of evidence-based information and traditional wisdom about holistic money matters.

By holistic money matters, I mean an approach that considers how finances interconnect with all aspects of your life—your health, relationships, career satisfaction, environment, spiritual views, creative pursuits, and personal growth.

It’s about managing your money in a way that aligns with your values and supports your overall well-being, not just your bank balance.

This approach is designed to help you achieve wealth and well-being, however you choose to define them.

Here, you’ll find content crafted to empower you with the tools and confidence needed to take control of your finances and elevate your quality of life. From practical tips to in-depth guides, Whole Person Finance is your partner in navigating the complex world of money.

Whether you’re looking to build wealth, reduce stress, or align your finances with your values and vision, you’ll discover what you need to fuel your progress towards holistic financial wellness.

At Whole Person Finance, my mission is to support you on your journey to holistic financial well-being. Here, you’ll see a wealth of resources designed to nurture both your financial health and overall life satisfaction:
