More About Wendy:

i have served the women and families of ventura county, first as a labor/delivery/newborn nurse, then as a certified nurse midwife (cnm), providing full scope women's health care and hospital based delivery since 1985.  always looking to deepen my connection with, and better serve not just women, but all people, i expanded my practice and became certified as a sexuality counselor by AASECT (the american society of sex educators, counselors and therapists) in 2005. i treat individuals and couples who experience the myriad challenges and changes related to their sexuality. i believe everyone has the right to a healthy, pleasurable, and safe sexual life, whatever that may look like for them. part of my practice includes evaluating and treating sexual pain issues and with my dual certifications i can not only treat the emotional/psychology/spiritual aspects of sexual pain but can also conduct the physical exam/evaluation piece. i am bilingual in spanish. i served in the peace corps in guatemala from 1998-2000 teaching local families how to plant high nutrient vegetable gardens, how to recognize and prevent diarrhea, dehydration and upper respiratory infections in their children, and taught basic skills to local traditional birth attendants. i spent a month in tibet in 2007 teaching local women basic birthing and life saving skills. and i started a small soap company in 2017, anahata soap works, and make hand crafted soap in small batches, using only ingredients that are healthy and nourishing to your skin, and that you can actually pronounce;-))
