Wendy Figone, Founder & Speaker, Somatic Ecotherapy

Practical talks for real people living in a high-stress world

These talks are designed for conferences, healthcare organizations, retreat centers, community groups, and corporate teams. Wendy brings together her background in myofascial release, forest therapy, trail consulting, and somatic education to create presentations that meet people where they are.

Rather than offering abstract ideas, she shares practical tools and guided experiences that help people regulate stress, restore focus, and feel more at ease in their bodies. The result is a session that is informative, memorable, and restorative.
