For over 30 years Wind has been a licensed Individual, Marriage & Family Therapist, Life Coach and Reiki Master. She is a minister and previously was a licensed Massage Therapist. Her experience with Reiki and energy work, along with her licensing as a massage therapist, were both significant in helping to create the foundation of her integrative approach to her work. Though she is a licensed therapist in the states of New Mexico and Washington, she currently works exclusively as a life/wellness coach – Highest Good Coaching™ assisting people in discovering their ability to live and create from their fullest potential.

Her decades as a psychotherapist provided her the opportunity to cultivate, in her life and work, sincere heartfelt compassion, and a deep understanding of human nature – which now enables her to quickly, and effectively, support clients and students in achieving their life and wellness goals.

Wind travels widely leading workshops and presentations, and is a passionate and dynamic presenter. When the nature of her workshops allows Wind captivates audiences with her singing and drumming, to facilitate an experience she calls - TRANCE-FORMATIONAL. Musically she collaborates with her husband, Kevin Wood, writing and composing for WoodWind productions under Wammybox Records.

Wind created the trademarked term Spiritual R-Evolutionary: a program & network dedicated to changing the world – one being, one intention at a time – www.spiritualr-evolutionary.com.

Wind’s Women’s Circles, and Women’s Initiation Programs support women in reclaiming the ancient ways of women. Her shaman series, mixed gender initiation programs and her Earthbased and transcendent teachings provide a way of incorporating ancient wisdom and mystical knowledge into our daily living, and reclaiming the art of sacred ritual and ceremony. Wind also offers many distance learning programs.
