Wendy Lotter

Meet Wendy Lotter: a pint-sized powerhouse with a passion for peace and a knack for turning stress into success. Wendy’s initiation into the world of stress management and mind-body wellness came courtesy of lifelong anxiety—because, as she likes to say, “Why take the scenic route to inner peace when you can go through the fire first?” Over the years, she’s built an impressive toolkit, first as a meditation instructor, then as a Reiki master, and later as a crystal and chakra healer. But it wasn’t until she discovered the ultimate healing tool—the untapped power within herself—that everything truly clicked. Wendy has been practicing and teaching meditation, compassion, and energy healing since 2011, all while working full-time in healthcare quality. (Yes, she has a cape somewhere.) By day, she champions culturally competent, equitable healthcare and dignity for the vulnerable; by night, she helps folks find their Zen—whether it’s through a guided meditation, an energy tune-up, or a really good laugh. Now, Wendy is bringing her wisdom and wit to the masses with Shorts by a Shorty, a series of quick and insightful reads designed for busy people who want practical tools for well-being (and maybe a chuckle or two along the way). Inspired by her own healing journey and the transformations she’s witnessed in her clients and students, she’s on a mission to make peace of mind accessible to everyone—no crystal ball required. When she’s not advocating, healing, or writing, Wendy can be found pedaling off stress on her road bike. She lives with her One Tru, Dean, and their sweet rescue pup, Quoia, in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area. Whether she’s practicing compassion, chasing joy, or just chasing Quoia, one thing’s for sure: Wendy’s life motto is simple—Live your Truth. Stand with Courage. Trust the Journey.
