About Your Guide
Wendy Ziemiak
Certified Yoga Teacher, Mental Health Practitioner
& Registered Nurse
As a Yoga & Meditation Teacher and Registered Nurse with extensive experience in Mental Health, I offer retreats & self-care workshops to help women find greater self-compassion,
self-love and transform their limited beliefs into empowering life choices for self-care.
As part of my own healing and self-help I became a student of Yoga and Meditation and
started to experience ease in my mind and body. I learned to challenge my unhelpful thinking patterns that lead to anxiety and depression. I learned to disarm my inner critic and manage painful emotions through self-compassion practice. I gave myself permission to meet my
needs for self-care, meaningful connections, healing and inner growth. I learned to be
brave by facing my fears about financial scarcity, being lovable and being good enough.
This is now why I love helping women to create ease and peace and joy in their lives.
Join me for a women's retreat where you will learn these skills and practices that assist with healing, stress reduction and growing self-love and self-compassion within.
