Wendy Duncan says she learned to change her body and her life by changing her mind. Now she coaches others how to achieve their goals and become the best version of themselves. Originally from Sacramento, CA, Duncan came up to Central Oregon for a visit and fell in love with the active, outdoor culture, and the huge variety of ways to get out in nature. The outdoors. The diversity of the climate, and of the activities you can do here. She moved to Redmond as a real estate broker in , before the recession when the housing market was strong.
Duncan thrived with the independence and sense of achievement of her job, where she was her own boss for the first time in her life. Things move at a slower pace. She had struggled to treat her headaches with medication her whole life and when she read The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, some new ideas started to click into place.
Duncan left real estate in and started her own coaching and motivational speaking business. She considered adding swimming as a new aerobic activity, Duncan went into the Cascade Swim Center to check it out. I learned about the other fitness classes. Dance fitness stuck out at me. I thought her story was compelling. She is an awesome lady. Her passion, her leadership, is all so inspiring!
You do more than you thought you ever could. You also get to meet some great people from around town. Duncan has added wedding officiating to her stress and weight management coaching and speaking business. Between dance and her unique career path, Duncan has found a common theme; a platform for creativity and connection.
When I was little, I wanted to be an actress or a musician. As a coach, motivational speaker, and wedding officiant, I get to perform. Duncan had never tried dance fitness before, but she had always enjoyed being active outside. I still walk almost every day. Her commitment to transforming herself through coaching and dancing gave Duncan a stronger foundation for advising clients. Her mental and physical work brought her through her career transition, a divorce, and dramatic weight loss.
