Compassionate Inquiry is a psychotherapeutic approach created by Dr. Gabor Maté and Sat Dharam Kaur. Wendy has been facilitating the year-long online program since it launched January 2019. She mentors interns and is on the certification team.
Wendy works individually with people who would like to experience the deep process that uncovers what lies beneath the appearance we present to the world. The process can get at core beliefs and early childhood traumas that seed addiction.

Wendy returned to school for her doctorate in clinical psychology a decade ago, focused on the intersection of two topics she was most passionate about: Kundalini Yoga and recovery from addiction. She published her dissertation Beyond Addiction: Kundalini Yoga and Mindfulness Meditation for Recovery from Opioid Dependence (2015) and was supported by Sat Dharam Kaur who was creating the Beyond Addiction curriculum at the same time.
Wendy now leads the Beyond Addiction program in Hawaii, Switzerland, annually in Southern California, and co-hosts in Canada with Sat Dharam every year. The (pre-COVID) programming for 2020 included immersions in India, Switzerland, Hawaii, Los Angeles, and Canada with plans to expand to Bali and Australia in 2021.
Wendy creates a safe and inclusive container for global participants who join her for 10-day immersions. From this space, there is a beautiful healing that takes place in support of a deep connection to self, Spirit, and one another. The immersions are followed with a 4-month integration that includes weekly facilitated zoom meetings.
Wendy is currently developing a new program: Healing Trauma and Addiction Through Connection that will launch globally in 2021.
