Meet Wendy, the heart behind Arise to Freedom
Wendy’s story might sound similar to yours. Her story is the why behind this non-profit. She has dedicated her life to serving and empowering women and families to start on their own journeys to freedom and hope. After years of experiencing spiritual, mental, psychological, financial, and sexual abuse in her marriage and family structure, she has found healing. Wendy was catapulted into learning about the court system, financial assistance, and child and family services mostly on her own. She has been on a journey of her own healing for over the past decade, and is able to share her knowledge and assistance to women like herself. Since 2013, she has had the privilege to work with numerous women, after several years of navigating and unpacking her own story.
Testimonials
“Wendy has been my life support, encouragement and sanity during this extremely trying phase of my life. I would be a disaster if it weren’t for her breathing truth into me with every minute that we spend together. I am forever thankful for everything that she has done to help me begin to heal and see reality.”

“I was connected with Wendy from Arise to Freedom during a crisis situation. I wasn't in a state of mind to sort through decisions or know what to do. She was the calm and steady...the support I needed to get through. Ever since then we have created a relationship. Wendy has given me her constant support, grace and wisdom that has helped me to have awareness and tools to become free from abuse and manipulation.
In addition to support, Wendy gives me challenges. The path to freedom requires some personal growth and work. Whenever she gives me a challenge, I take it on. No matter how impossible or hard it may seem. Each time I learn to become stronger, healthier and happier. Her challenges and guidance have enabled me to grow and heal.
An angel on earth. There is no other way I can describe Wendy. She is a saving grace in moments of crisis.”

She takes a bold approach to help women untangle the most complex scenarios, step by step. Through the journey of her own story, she brings wisdom and practical tools to the situation, allowing the Lord to shed His light through the darkness.
Wendy walks you out of the chaos and into a Life of Freedom!
I know this full well as I am one who received help from Wendy through a difficult family situation. She was able to see through all the chaos and help me understand the dysfunctional dynamics to help make sense of it all. By the Lords great Mercy and Grace, I am walking in freedom and clarity with tools in place to stand for Truth and Light in my story. I am so excited for the One who will take the step to reach out and receive help and in turn be set free to live the life you were created to journey!”
