Wanda is passionate about coaching and telling stories to promote and inspire interpersonal, spiritual, and mental wellness. Her ability to listen and connect deeply with others as well as transform a story into film is second to none, making her a highly sought-after director/writer/producer and coach.

After several losses, including neglect, bullying, and betrayal, as well as broken dreams in education, work, and becoming a parent, Wanda filled her hurting heart with social life, work, relational security, opportunities, food, and money. But the grief and disappointment only grew.

It was listening, though, that saved her life. She was led to coaches, mentors, and a play therapist who saw and heard her. Through their listening support and her faith in action, Wanda healed from PTSD, co-dependency, and lack of personal identity. She learned to celebrate and believe in who she is. She is now living a joy-filled thriving life.

As a coach and filmmaker, Wanda is known for her ability to hear and see others as well as help them explore difficult topics through thought-provoking discussions. Her award-winning film Reflections tells the story of how members of a family grieved differently. This review and these testimonials capture the power of Wanda’s stories and coaching.

In addition to her undergrad degrees in Theatre and Music, Wanda has completed film directing and acting apprenticeships, is a Certified Flourishing Life, Creativity, and Wellness Coach with Certified Flourishing Coach, the founder of Be W.E.L.L. Coaching and Films, and the Artistic Director for Reinholdt Productions.

Wanda is a member in good standing with the Alberta Media Production Industries Association (AMPIA) and the Calgary Society of Independent Filmmakers (CSIF).
