Counsellor
With a background and love of the Arts, Wendy knows just how powerful expressive therapies can be. She also sees how therapeutic it is to 'switch off' the worries by doing something which allows deeper breathing and distraction from ruminating thoughts and provide space for clarity and action. In 2021 Wendy completed a Diploma of Counselling and an Advanced Study Major in Expressive Therapies with the Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors. She loves to work with individual clients and can really tailor the experience to suit the person. She offers a mobile service, coming to meet you at home, the cafe, or under a shady tree. Wendy is a member of the Australian Counselling Association and International Institute for Complementary Therapists.
Educator
Wendy Magill began her teaching with a Degree in Education from Queensland University of Technology majoring in Dance and Drama teaching (Secondary) and completed Post Graduate studies in Arts Education from Deakin University (Vic) majoring in Art and Music education. Wendy taught in Queensland Secondary schools from 1991 - 2006 including a time in London teaching Children with Disabilities. After becoming a mother in 2000 Wendy moved to Primary School Education with The Arts, Special Education, Inclusive Education Practices and general classrooms across All age groups. She has most recently done a lot of work with the Early Years and loves helping young children become little learners through her children's books at Featherfield Farm Adventures.
Follow the adventures of Cappy, Drippy, Flappy, Quacky and Zippy; the ducks from Featherfield Farm, as they leave the pond in search of bigger adventures. These books aim at helping Early Childhood Educators and families navigate what it is to help children recognise and regulation their bodies in order to learn new things.
Artist feels like a funny thing to call yourself. Wendy is a creative who is drawn to making paintings (usually portraits, but trying to expand on this). Other days her art may be sewing or stitching, it may be baking or writing. This website shows a sample of finished (and some unfinished) works which are from the "Glimmers" series and give you an idea of this artist through her style. Each work is for sale. To buy an original canvas, contact Wendy through our contact page, or go to www.glimmers4you.etsy.com to see the prints and other items.
Wendy is a Radiant Light Yoga Teacher. In 2012 she completed their 500hr level 1 training and followed it up with subsequent certificates in Yoga for Children, level 2 Chakra Vinyassa yoga. Building on this foundation, Wendy has attended a vast number of courses and experiences which have enriched her practice and her teaching. She can be contacted about availability for private individual and group classes or retreats. Wendy is happy to discuss a range of options including art making, dance, counselling, or 5 elements coaching alongside the yoga and breathwork offered.
