We had originally booked with Wendee on Airbnb, but had our event cancelled by Airbnb due to Covid-19. Wendee was sweet enough to reach out to us to ask if we still wanted to have our experience outside of Airbnb and we were so excited to take her up on the offer. We booked a Reiki meditation with Horses session ultimately :) After a beautiful hour drive up to Wendee's location from Santa Rosa, we were greeted by the wonderful Wendee herself. We were offered some wonderful mint tea w/sweetener as well as some fresh fruit to snack on while we opened our reiki meditation session. Following, we were able to down to the fields and join her beautiful three horses and use our reiki meditation to invite animals into our space and use that time to bond with them, as they were willing to. We learned about each horse and what made them special. I ultimately felt like I had a connection with Brioso and I was happy to see that he felt that way with me too :) We were also able to bathe Arturo and Brioso and had some special appearances from Wendee's cats who were super friendly and allowed us in their space with lots of purring. Ultimately, my guests and I had an absolute blast. Wendee was a terrific host with three beautiful horses that allowed us to practice and learn reiki meditation in a very helpful way. Could not recommend this experience enough. If you are in the Sonoma or Napa area, this is a beautiful experience that you shouldn't miss out on. Definitely bring a hat and sunscreen if the weather is hot, Wendee's place is beautiful but the sun has no mercy and you'll need the protection. She does provided plenty of hydration for the heat though. See my pictures below to see how happy I was with this meditation read more

Words can't express how highly I recommend Wendee & Friends! As a lifelong animal lover her Reiki program really spoke to me. We spent the weekend walking through the practice and connecting with her horses, cats and sweet dog Ruthie. I walked away with a new set of skills, a daily meditation practice and an improved outlook on life. On top of that, her property is absolutely stunning and takes you out of the hustle and bustle of touristy highway 29 for a breath of fresh mountain air. Whether you're looking for a new way to connect with animals, a respite from your hectic day-to-day or a unique experience during a trip to the valley, I would definitely recommend a visit. read more

Every year when I ask my wife what she wants to do for her Birthday, she always wants me to join her in a horse activity. This year she wanted to visit Wendee's property and see what her program was like. My wife had crossed paths with Wendee in the Napa Valley horse community, but never had a chance to visit. We were very impressed with the property! Great views and a nice, hilly horse pasture. She lead us through 2 hours of relaxing mindfulness and meditation with her three horses (and her super friendly dog Ruthie!) We also spent some time discussing her approach on general horsemanship and techniques on working with multiple horses. It was a very nice morning - thanks Wendee! read more
