Anne Wondra, Soul and Wellness Coach

I’m in the love-your-life and happy living business.  And like all life coaches I know, I came to this calling through a lifetime of other careers and experiences.  I created WonderSpirit Resources in 1996 because, alongside my corporate professional human resource role, there was a spiritual feminine part of me that wouldn’t go away and got stronger as I grew older.  I needed to do something constructive with it, or I would be pestered until I did.

I grew up Catholic on a dairy farm in a small town in southeastern Wisconsin.  I’m the first-born of eight children (six brothers and a sister followed).  All of us have the same parents, and they and we are a diverse mix.  I’m a religious studies and education major and a former director of youth ministry.  I was always interested in religion, wisdom, universal teachings.  Greek and Roman Mythology were fascinating too.  Gods and goddesses, archetypes, mystery, magic, inspiration.  And one hears differently as a single woman of thirty, majoring in religious studies, and knowing what she knows.   Justice, fairness, equality, inclusiveness, language, turned out to matter to me.  I grew up in the 60s and in my 30s, I was awakening, becoming aware.

Ironically, my career path took me to a law office, a church, and into a corporate international manufacturing company.  The only place discrimination of women was legal was the church.  We are given contrast to gain clarity….and they we find what fits.   The real Roar of Awakening came on January 6, 1996…coincidently the feast of the Epiphany.

When you can’t go forward and you can’t go backward and you can’t stay where you are without killing off what is deep and vital in yourself, you are on the edge of creation.  – Sue Monk Kidd

WonderSpirit was the creation, with a mission to empower the spirit of women, through the voices, wisdom, experiences, ways, words, and knowing of women; to heal, reclaim, support, and celebrate the feminine spirit, and all it’s worth and value, strength, beauty, and ways of being it brings to the world.

In my corporate playground world, I was a human resource administrator, training and development specialist, and wellness coordinator.  I made a difference where I could.

In my work and personally, I dance with the sacred and the secular, the personal and the professional, and build bridges and pathways of understanding and grace; I’m an everyday goddess.  I have a passion to empower, to make life easier and more rewarding, to celebrate our feminine spirit.

I work with those on a self-discovery, well-being, or personal path-following journey, a re-defining and clarifying of who they are, what they want, and why they’re here—the life foundation stuff.  And I created a Love-Your-Life Program to get started.

My background: I hold a master’s certification in business and human resource management, a bachelor of science in religious studies and education, and a certification in Wellness Mapping 360.  I have worked in human resources and wellness administration, corporate training, paralegal work, and youth ministry.

On the personal side, I love life, art, and art fairs; nature, beauty, and morning coffee at coffee shops; and animals (especially cats).   I love ease and sunshine and beaches, keeping it simple and sensible.  I love words and writing that inspires and empowers.  I love being a catalyst, a partner, a teacher, a muse; creative.  I share this life with Michael, the wonderful man I’m married to, and our furry feline family.  I’m a vegetarian and like natural wellness, healthy living stuff, including essential oils.

Love your life; it matters.  - Anne
