―― WELCOME

Healing rooted in compassion, mindfulness, and neuroscience.

Whether you’re navigating stress, seeking deeper meaning, or ready for meaningful inner change, I’m here to support your healing, gently and wholeheartedly.

My name is Wendy Hixon. I help people reconnect with the deeper wisdom already within them. My work is a blend of clinical expertise and spiritual groundedness, designed to help you step out of "fight or flight" and into a place of lasting peace.

A Path Shaped by Real-World Experience

Before becoming a therapist, I spent years as a police detective, working in high-stress undercover roles. I witnessed firsthand how chronic stress and trauma affect the body, mind, and relationships. The nervous system is constantly activated in that world—vigilance becomes a burden that touches everyone.

That experience led me to seek stillness. Meditation became the doorway. Through mindful breath, I learned how to step into the parasympathetic state—the body’s natural home for rest. That journey awakened a calling: to help others find the peace I had discovered.
