Supporting Staff and Students in High-Pressure Environments
With over 20 years of experience in international postgraduate teaching as Senior Lecturer for the United Nations institute for Water Education, I have an insider’s perspective – I truly understand the demands and pressures faced by staff and students in today’s fast-paced academic world.
According to the latest data from the TNO, 1.6 million employees in the Netherlands suffer from burnout complaints. Within that, the eduation sector suffers the most.
My mission is simple: to bring effective, proven mindfulness strategies into schools and universities, offering practical ways for staff to feel less overwhelmed and more resilient.

I am so grateful to have attended your course; learning to use my breath as an anchor, and label my thoughts from a distance has given me incredibly effective tools for my everyday life. I really appreciate your kind and gentle way of presenting the concepts, which made it easy for us to share our feelings and thoughts.
I wish you may go on to inspire many more people to also live a more mindful, compassionate life. Thank you so much for your time and effort.

I attended one of Wendy’s courses and it was easily the best course I have followed so far at TU Delft.
Wendy is a highly professional, kind, and responsible mindfulness coach who takes the time to understand every individual student’s needs.
She helps students and staff recognize the power within themselvesto deal with challenges in life, providing invaluable weekly feedback on our practices.
Her kindness and dedication—both in the classroom and in supporting student mindfulness projects—is truly inspiring. I sincerely recommend her to any organization or individual.
Working with Wendy was a pleasure from day one; she is both meticulous and warm. She has a talent for translating complex themes like focus and resilience into language that is easy to grasp, making her a great fit for our international academic environment. I was especially impressed by how inclusive her meditations were. Even team members who had never meditated before felt comfortable participating and shared afterward that they felt an immediate positive impact.
I am a full-time school teacher and a very busy individual. I heard about Wendy through a colleague who continues to benefit from her help. Wendy’s calm voice helped me right away and she helped me support my own journey into recovery. I can’t recommend Wendy enough to anyone feeling overwhelmed. read more
