Reason for Living
Although Wendy Ida may appear “over the top” in her dedication to fitness, health and self-empowerment, she has not forgotten her own journey from despair to triumph. She is a Domestic Violence Survivor who was in poor shape, bad health and had low self esteem. Considering all her life she was four dress sizes larger than she is today, and gained an additional 50 pounds after having two children back to back, she is grateful to have beaten the odds. She didn’t begin her own exercise regime until age 43, but she has managed to improve her health, lose 80 pounds and dwindle down to a rock-solid size 4 and hold onto it as a grandmother! – It’s no wonder why Wendy feels sharing her self taught approach to mental readiness, self worth and teaching, preaching and inspiring others to live their potential can not only change the world, but it is her reason for living.
Wendy has a degree in accounting and worked as a Corporate Accountant for 20 years before turning to health and wellness. Now after 20 years of changing lives and rocking the worlds of many, the proof is in the pudding. Wendy walks her talk and often says:
“ITS NEVER TOO LATE TO TAKE BACK YOUR LIFE”!
