Certified Divorce Coach Helping Families Thrive
*A Get (Hebrew: גט) is a document in Jewish religious law that finalizes a divorce.
“Hi, I’m Wendy…”
As a Certified Divorce Coach, I’m honored to help those considering, experiencing, or emerging from divorce. Together, my clients and I forge a path forward to help them flourish, innovating new ‘ways of working,’ new models of communication, and new rituals and traditions.
Through the Rapids
Going through divorce is like being in a kayak on whitewater. If you don’t paddle through the chop, you’ll get swept along in the direction of the fastest moving current.
As a divorce coach I give my clients the tools, the courage and the confidence to navigate in the direction they choose, to make decisions that optimize outcomes for everyone—themselves, their former spouses, and their children. I put the paddle firmly in their hands to get ‘through the chute’ with grace, respect, and even pride.
Been there.✔️
Done that. ✔️
I do this work because I’ve been through it myself. I spent a lot of years too unhappy to stay and too afraid to leave. Keeping a close eye on my kids and a steady hold on Jewish values, I made it to the other side, feeling luckier than ever and back in my own skin. Let me say up front:
I don’t promote divorce. It’s never one’s first choice. It’s always the last choice. Sometimes, though, it’s the best choice. Sometimes it’s better apart.
What I do promote is a good divorce—one that serves both spouses and allows everyone to prosper. The marriage might not have worked out but *the family* didn’t fail.
How I can help
When you think you only have two bad choices: staying in the marriage or leaving it.
When you’re in the middle of the process and too triggered to make good decisions.
When you’ve come through it all and ready to build anew—everything from a new career to new love.
What’s Judaism Got to Do With It?
What if I told you that Judaism’s fundamental qualities are exactly what one needs for the journey from married to single? Ever consider that Judaism is especially constituted to support those who are going through divorce?
The Jewish experience is forged in covenantal relationships, separation, struggle, and renewal: Bereshit (Creation), Havdalah (Separation), and Lech Lecha (Go forth and Be a Blessing) to name a few.
Some of the defining qualities of Judaism are the same strengths required of divorcing couples:
hope,
courage,
integrity,
resilience,
and community.
What They’re Saying
"I'm not sure what I would have done without Wendy's ongoing support through this very challenging time in my life. She is kind, compassionate and an active listener whose insights are always beneficial. When I needed advice (frequently), what she provided was always spot-on.” P.M. | San Francisco, CA
"Going through such a turbulent transition can wreak havoc on everyone involved. Wendy's breadth and depth of experience minimized the stress the divorce has had on my kids. And for that I will be eternally grateful. Thank you, Wendy." T.G.W | New York City
"Seeking help, even in difficult times, isn't something we are often very comfortable doing. We tend to suffer in silence. Fortunately a close family friend, and another client of Wendy's, urged me to reach out to her. She was a godsend. Her referrals of professionals for myself and my kids were outstanding. Wendy provides a necessary, yet difficult-to-find service, and no one should hesitate in seeking her out." R.P. | Denver, CO
