We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Wendy Fournier and Brenda Tringali. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Wendy Fournier and below.
Hi Wendy Fournier and, thanks for joining us today. We’d love to have you retell us the story behind how you came up with the idea for your business, I think our audience would really enjoy hearing the backstory.
From a very young age my sister and I always connected with Source, our higher selves and guides. This is the foundation of who we are and what we believe. We came in with a tremendous amount of connection to light while experiencing a lot of trauma and adversity ourselves. We began our own healing journey very very young and tapped into alternative therapies, we searched them out, not because we were told to, but we intuitively knew within us that they were there. You wouldn’t believe it unless you were there! lol. We know the difficulties of trauma and emotional neglect but we also know how to repair it, to live your life purpose and have happiness while being very intuitive and different from the norm. We too are ever evolving, expanding more and more and learning how to love greater every day. Everyone we encounter has this same ability, some are more conscious of it than others, so we know it’s important to create new systems that allow for people’s needs to be met and individuals to be heard and empowered to be their authentic self. We see a huge epidemic in this space and we really want to help people walk this journey and create the life of their dreams. We always knew that we would work together doing it, even from a young age. We believe that within each person is the greatness and the power to heal themselves and live the life they always imaged. So the Indigo Doors was formed in 2015
We want to connect like-minded loving individuals together and we do this through classes and retreats throughout the country. Our retreats focus is on Whole-Being Wellness™ where we create experiences and platforms to engage the whole being. In our culture, the emotional self is deeply neglected and we see an epidemic of emotional pain everywhere in all of humanity. We help move you through all those hidden parts and give you the tools we have found work. It is really important that we learn to love every single part of ourselves, even the ugly ones. It is messy and sometimes really hard but we create a safe environment where you can go within and recognize all those beautiful parts of yourself. We don’t talk at you and give you the answers. The answers are within you. We teach you how to access those answers.
We do retreats because magic happens when we come together. Our retreats are powerful adventures and we are meant to do this kind of work together. Our energy can increase exponentially which allows for the possibility of miracles in our lives. When we gather together, share space and act as witnesses for each other, our connection to Source multiplies and allows for miracles. Our retreats are a safe haven that allows for us all to show up as our most authentic selves, wherever we are in our journeys. Within our retreats, we immerse ourselves in a variety of healing practices, learn skills to empower our true beings and tap into the Earth’s powers within and all around us. Our retreats are the safest of places to identify blockages, heal and grow to step into our power together.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
The planet is awakening. Every human being is awakening and expanding. This process can be overwhelming and scary as we become aware of ourselves more and more. This can be experienced with overwhelming emotions, all of sudden intuitive gifts surfacing and not knowing how to handle them, to nothing fitting anymore in your life and not understanding why and how to move forward. Together Wendy and Brenda provide a cohesive healing practice at The Indigo Doors: Whole Being Wellness™. They have retreats around the country for a full subversive experience where attendees leave differently than they came and teach tools and knowledge about all these spaces, mentioned above, we are all collectively moving into. It is a combination of science, spirituality, holistic health, and intuition. Their next one is in Tucson, AZ Oct. 11-15th go to their website for more information.
Brenda has her MSW and has over 15 yrs experience as a clinical therapist. She wanted to start her own business to combine her energy healing abilities with her knowledge of the psyche to provide powerful transformational retreats and one on one sessions. She extensive experience in assisting others move through their psychological, emotional, mental health and physical conflicts. She has dedicated her life to understanding and loving the human experiences and all the many parts and nuances within each of us that arise. She passionately advocates for loving all parts of our human expressions, both internal and external, to reach a deep understanding and practice of self love. She has studied many healing modalities for over 20 years with shamans and other talented healers from around the world. Part of this mission for Brenda is channeling energies from higher dimensions and the guiding Angels within our universe and beyond. Her intention in channeling is to bring through energies that help us remember and know of the God within each and everyone of us. She has developed Whole Being Wellness™ to help many.
Wendy’s background is similar when it comes to healing and training in many different healing modalities, they did that all together, yet she combines that skill into her painting. She has a degree in painting with a Master’s in Art History where she loves studying human culture and spiritual evolution. She focuses her gifts more on “seeing” and bringing in new information to push the envelope of what we think we know and explore other worlds and dimensions using these spiritual practices. All of this she shares in her art and shares her gifts with clients. Wendy understands how this reality is constructed and in this knowledge it can help people deconstruct and construct what it is that they desire.
They practice what they teach, while providing solutions and clarity around the topic of being a spiritual being having a human experience. They provide teachings, energy support and new products they have never seen before that are constantly growing. The best way to experience what they have to offer is to attend a retreat or private session. Their retreats are experiences that are beyond words, incorporating yoga, sacred circle activities while sharing new information from the other side, means every retreat experience is different from the next. Everyone gets what they need and the sisters respond intuitively to these needs. You have to feel it to understand what these words mean. Brenda provides life coaching and healing sessions to help remove blockages and repair past trauma. Wendy provides business coaching and intuitive readings that can include akashic records readings, and “Ask Spirit a Question” and let’s not forget her channeled paintings such as her Life Purpose Paintings (see example of one in photos) which energetically hold why you are here.
They love what they do and know they are here to help others on their journey.
They both provide guidance and inspiration on their YouTube and TikTok channel along with content on their Facebook and Instagram. Wendy has a solo art exhibit coming up July 6-Aug 6th 2023 at the Community Arts Gallery 22635 Woodward Ave, Ferndale, MI 48220. Artist Reception will be July 14th from 3-5pm. She will also be at ArtPrize this year in Grand Rapids.
How’d you meet your business partner?
Brenda and I are sisters and we knew from a young age that we would work together to help people and weave more love and light on the planet. We were lucky to have each other. We were always so aware, even knowing things adults didn’t. We have both always been on a spiritual path of enlightenment. We have a unified goal to help others on their paths to realize their power and beauty within. Working together is our destiny!
Can you tell us about what’s worked well for you in terms of growing your clientele?
Our most effective strategy for growing our clientele is getting in front of people. When others get to experience what we do for themselves they recognize the authenticity and it resonates within their beings. People feel safe around us to really dive deep and explore all those scary parts right along with the light. We are not up on a pedestal telling you what to see, feel, believe. We are guides to help you find the answers within yourself. We show up authentically and teach by example in sharing how we have dealt with the unknown or difficult parts of ourselves. We’ve been there and are still constantly learning and loving and growing. We are always open to marketing ideas and with that you have to be able to think outside of the box, follow your intuition and do what is fun! You also have to be willing to be wrong and continually showing up and trying. Resiliency is an effective strategy. You have to check in with your intuition with “shoulds” and “have to’s”. if it feels ok, then do it, if it feels wrong or based in fear, I wouldn’t advise it.
