Wren is a healing professional who places intention & attention at the center.

She brings a rich background in the arts, Eastern and Western Psychology, Somatic Experiencing, Yoga, and Mindfulness Meditation to her work with others.

Wren has been training in contemplative practice for thirty years, spending a significant amount of time in silent retreat. Her explorations of the human experience have extended beyond mat and cushion, into her former work as a psychotherapist in outpatient settings.

Wren is a parent and trained parenting coach. She has decades of experience teaching in retreat centers, yoga studios, schools, and museums, including the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles and the Museum of Children’s Art, Oakland. She currently facilitates art therapy groups for adults at West Coast Recovery Center, Oceanside.

As an artist, Wren works in a broad range of media. She collaborates artistically with LitvakDance and has illustrated seven books for Shambhala Publications. Nature feeds her creativity. As an avid hiker and cloud watcher, communion with the native landscape is at the heart of Wren’s daily life.

Whatever the role or activity, Wren’s purpose is to support others in knowing themselves deeply.

She works to alleviate suffering, nurture understanding, and inspire creative joy. Her wish is for you to have unhindered access to the ease and vitality that is your birthright.
