“Before working with Waverly, I was experiencing extreme overwhelm and anxiety (and sometimes even panic attacks) on my daily commute to work.
Waverly helped me turn my daily commute to work into a daily ritual. I learned how to deepen my self-awareness — how to be present with myself and my feelings, how to slow down and notice the beauty around me, and how to check in with myself.
And now, today, my daily commute to work is a part of my daily ritual and I am experiencing way less anxiety and way more ease. My commute to work, and my life, have completely changed because of working with Waverly.
Without Waverly’s support, I would just be in the same revolving door of trying and feeling like I failed and getting discouraged.
If you’re interested in working with Waverly, be sure that you have the time and the mental space to really soak up all that this work is. It is a deep journey of self-discovery and if you have the space in your life and need that extra push to do the things, then I highly, highly recommend it!”
— EMILY CAMERON, LEGAL ASSISTANT
“Before my incredible journey working with Waverly, I felt confused. I was beginning to be able to see the goodness and beauty in my life, but I still felt anxious, uneasy, and insecure. Once I started working with Waverly, I was able to unburden myself in the safety of our weekly sessions. I was able to see myself through the eyes of my incredible soul sisters doing this work with me, to confront my past traumas, and push through mental walls that had been up for years.
While working with Waverly, I found myself more curious about my routines and habits. I found a reserve of strength I didn’t know I possessed, which made powering through tough workdays or conflict much easier. I also noticed I spent more time taking care of myself in small ways: taking baths (and enjoying them!), journaling, following my skincare routine, etc.
Finding my voice and my conviction has stayed me with most from my time working with Waverly. My life has shifted drastically from this experience. If I had not found Waverly, I would have kept on the path I was on – successful but self-conscious; comfortable but codependent – and perhaps never would have known the inner beauty I possess. If you’re considering working with Waverly, DO IT, it is a life-changing experience!”

“Wow, Waverly, thank you so much for this sound experience. Towards the end of the rainsticks, it brought me back to my happy place - Silver Falls State Park in Oregon - and the rushing and falling water of the largest waterfall in the park. The sandpaper and whooshing noises made me feel as though I was the water flowing against the rocks and slowly eroding and making changes as I went.
I wasn’t sure where I was for a while but then the chimes reminded me that I had gone to the ocean and was being lifted up through evaporation into the clouds, where the rain doesn’t choose where it falls and it offers grace to the dry places.
I honestly couldn’t have imagined that this is where it would take me but I appreciated the journey immensely. I will return to this sound bath often and visualize the river, water, and clouds to help me center, focus, find forward motion and offer grace once again. Thank you!”

“Before working with Waverly, I felt like my mind was running my life. I wasn’t listening to my body and what I needed, I wasn’t balanced. Through working with Waverly, I was able to gain so many tools to work through situations and learn how to be gentler with myself, physically and mentally. The tools and support offered through this work helped me give myself permission to give myself ME time without feeling guilty. Waverly also helped me stop reacting to situations, through this work I learned how to respond.
I learned so much during this journey — how to set boundaries (and how to keep them), the power of practicing rituals around the moon cycles, and how to accept the days when I don’t show up to my normal expectations, how to accept these days without being judgmental towards myself.
If I hadn’t done this work with Waverly, I would feel a bit conflicted with myself in regards to listening to heart vs. mind. I would definitely be harder on myself for not showing up to my expectations every day.
If you’re called to working with Waverly, then it’s very likely what you need in this particular moment. I was looking into traditional western therapy and nothing resonated with me and then I was so grateful to Waverly. Allow yourself to put in the work, be open, be excited and so many beautiful things will happen for you!”

“Before working with Waverly, I felt like I was not able to be in the moment for much of my life. My mind was always racing, thinking ahead about what I needed to do next or what my family’s needs were. I never took the time to think about what I need. Waverly helped me realize and meet my needs. I’ve learned that by just taking a few minutes to myself each day I am able to feel and sense all my feelings. I am able to recognize and take space to feel all of my feelings instead of brushing them off.
What has stayed with me most from working with Waverly is that I am so much more focused on the NOW and living in the moment. I have become more present in everything I do throughout my day. I’m also SO excited about all the rituals I learned through Waverly and am delving deeper into creating rituals and sacred space with my family.
If I hadn’t worked with Waverly I would still be feeling stretched thin between work, raising young kids, and being in school. I would not be taking those precious moments out of my daily life to stop, meet my needs, and rejuvenate myself. I realize now that to take care of my family, I need to first take care of myself. Without Waverly and all I’ve learned, I wouldn’t be as recharged and ready to take on life’s challenges each day.”

“I had entered the journey of reconnecting to myself prior to working with Waverly, but found myself stuck in traditional therapy and really struggling with the weight of the everyday. Motherhood, work, marriage, the pandemic- life in general- felt suffocating. Waverly’s gifts of connection, candor, and authenticity were apparent immediately in our first session, and my own instant willingness to open up was surprising even to me. I felt more at ease in our first hour together than I have in years of traditional therapy. I feel armed with a new set of tools with which to tackle the tasks and emotions of the everyday. Making time for self-care, even in the smallest forms; changing the dialogue of negative self-talk; finding my voice to speak honestly with myself and with my partner; and above all, leaning in on grace and cutting myself some slack have each helped me re-frame the way I look at the days ahead and behind. I’m so grateful.
Life as I knew it didn’t allow for time to “slow down.” I was constantly moving from one task to another- tirelessly, endlessly, being everything for everyone except for myself. There is something to be said for momentum, but even more to be able to stop, and start again. These simple pauses have helped me to shift perspective and literally catch my breath, to return to softness and allow stillness to nourish the constant drive forward.
The term unconditional love, in my mind, has always felt reserved for a mother’s love for her children, but after working with Waverly, that definition has expanded in the most important way. The emphasis of unconditional love is in the act of truly seeing and being truly seen, and acknowledged for all that you are. When Waverly helped me open to the possibility that I could show unconditional love toward myself, and nourish that love with meaningful and simple gestures, the world opened up. I believe that the recognition of my own unconditional love is a direct result of Waverly’s ability to hold space for the women with whom she works. She provides a mirror for her clients, and with her own unveiling of patience, kindness, love, and connection to her clients, she is able to show them just how sustaining it is to be unconditionally loved.
If I hadn’t worked with Waverly ahh! I can’t imagine what life would be like. I know I’d still be running around like a chicken with my head cut off, and finding no time for stillness or self.
I would encourage any woman, any age, at any point in her life to work with Waverly, in good or challenging times. Waverly will undoubtedly pluck you out from where you are and help you to reorient to a path that will nourish your soul.”

“I am eternally grateful to have experienced Waverly’s work. Waverly is uniquely qualified to meet women where they are and to guide them back into a deeper connection with themselves.
Throughout working with Waverly she reminded me of the incredibly powerful ways to connect with our living planet Mother Earth. She showed me, through the experience of being in a circle of women, how we are capable of supporting dramatic change and growth in each other. She created conditions that exposed the toxic presence of shame in my life and the tools and practices to unseat it.
At the closing of our work together I, and all the women participating, felt an incredible amount of growth, change, closeness, empowerment, gratitude, and awe over what had transpired.
Waverly is a woman who has committed herself to the work of leading and teaching women in the process of healing. She has spent an incredible amount of time studying with teachers from around the world who are stewards of ancient wisdom and practices that are pure and sound. Waverly is using her loving energy to change what is possible for women living in modern times. The quality of her heart energy is uncommon and it serves as a catalyst for deep, transformative healing.
I have no hesitation in saying that miracles occurred during my time working with Waverly. Doing this work with Waverly has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.”

“Before working with Waverly I felt like I was on the verge of discovering something. My life was good, but at the same time, I had this lingering feeling that I was missing out. As if I was living my life but missing the important moments. It is hard to describe, but I was in a mode of searching. On an outward journey seeking answers outside of myself. What I have learned through the guidance of Waverly, is that I have it all within me. Not to say that there are elements outside myself to discover, but I have a newfound trust and stillness within myself. Through working with Waverly I have built a new and different relationship with the sacred. Before working with Waverly, I had envisioned the sacred, or spirituality, as something abstract, grand, and hard to obtain. I now know that the sacred is around and in me all the time. In the smallest most mundane moments of life. I have learned how to witness and welcome more magic every day through my journey with Waverly.
Working with Waverly has filled my self-care toolbox to the brim. I feel that I have learned so many different approaches, perspectives, and practices for taking on every new day and life has become much more easeful. I am better at staying in the present moment, staying with what I am doing, rather than wishing it away or feeling burdened. Sometimes it’s just taking a breath and noticing the sounds and sensations around and inside of me. Life still sometimes feels rushed and hard, but I am now able to incorporate little moments of stillness, of pause, that go such a long way. Waverly has guided me to see and feel sacred in the simplest moments and this has been one of the greatest gifts of this work.
What has stayed with me the most from working with Waverly is that the sacred is always with me, even when I may not see or feel it. Having this awareness allows me to slow down and tap into the sacredness of life. The sacred for me is the feeling of connection, safety, magic, and belonging. The bond I’ve made with the sisters doing this work with Waverly is such a force of support in my daily life. Even when we aren’t in conversation daily or weekly, I know we are forever on this journey together. What I have learned in working with Waverly helps me walk a little bit taller in this world. I highly, highly recommend this work with Waverly!”

“Before working with Waverly, I had just broken up with a partner and was in a period of extreme confusion and anxiety. I felt I had completely lost my inner compass and couldn’t tell what I wanted/didn’t want, liked/didn’t like etc. I doubted my decision to end the relationship along with every other thought and feeling that I experienced.
After working together, I could once again feel my inner guidance. Waverly showed me how to tune into the wisdom of my body, and that allowed me to get out of my spinning mind. I felt so much calmer and able to notice things around me again instead of focusing solely on how scary it was to feel off balance. I still felt unsure of my decision to end my relationship, but now I was comfortable with that uncertainty because I’d gained trust in myself. Waverly gave me the tools to tune into my inner wisdom, which later lead me to know I had made the right decision in ending my relationship.
In the months since working together, I spend so much less time in anxious thought loops. I am better at noticing when one is starting and I’m able to use the tools Waverly showed me to break the cycle. This helps me fully focus and be more present at work and with my friends and family. I am able to be gentle and understanding towards myself in a way I wasn’t before. I feel much more at home in my body, and this has led to better physical health.
If you’re thinking about working with Waverly, DEFINITELY DO IT! It would be a profound first step on your healing journey or a wonderful complement to other therapies and healing modalities that you may already be working with. You will be glad you decided to do it!”
