Wendy van der Grinten is a dynamic Energetic Natural Therapist, Theta®Healer, and certified Merkaba® Healer, who transitioned from a background in Physics and Chemistry to a dedicated healer with 17 years of experience in holistic natural medicine.
Hailing from the Netherlands, Wendy’s personal journey led her to embrace a meatless lifestyle after exploring diverse alternative health modalities, ultimately restoring her joy for life and enabling her to travel the world.
Now settled by the Mediterranean beach in Spain, Wendy merges her scientific knowledge and intuitive skills to unravel the secrets of detox and regeneration, offering a unique pathway to holistic well-being and vitality.
Meatless Movement recently had the opportunity to engage in a conversation with her.

Hi I’m Wendy originally from the Netherlands. Change to meatless was the last effort I did after I tried all possible alternative health modalities. It helped me to get back enough fun in my life to travel the world. Try the VAN-life, and finally living in Spain at the Mediterranean beach.

Choosing living foods is choosing to raise your vibration!

Picture a bright morning in June. A young mother, exhausted and in tears, faces the stairs. Pain and a deficient body had taken their toll. Experts warned her that crossing her pain threshold would mean permanent damage. A wheelchair loomed.
This was her reality, with a one-year-old baby. What would you do? Baby awake, crying and cold, stairs ahead. She collapsed.

Yet sitting defeated, something stirred up deep inside, and she became more determined than ever.
Her journey began long before. Chronic issues from youth – inflammation, fatigue, allergies – whispered “unfixable.” But she believed in a higher power – the Universe, the soul, nature. They held the key to healing.
Have you felt stuck, unable to move forward? Do you believe in the power of natural healing?
If you do, you’re not alone.
Remind yourself, you are 75% water, water memorises

My name is Wendy, and besides being a mother, I am also a Energetic Natural Therapist (E.E.N.®), Theta®Healer, author, and detox specialist. I’ve been doing somatic and energy work since 2005.
Finding the Missing Link in Hollistic Healing, aka removing all animal products from my diet in 2016 changed my life for ever.

It turns out a vegan lifestyle is not only better for the planet and animals, it is also better for our bodies. Eating mostly living fruits and vegetables has turnout out to cost less digestive energy.
This lead me to need less sleep during the night and feeling more energized during the day.

Cravings
By having a great balance to add nuts, seeds and herbs in my meatless life I’ve found cravings to disappear. Due to the fact that I am getting all nutrition in.

Social Connection
Going out socially and being meatless in The Netherlands turned out to be super easy! Vegan and vegetarian restaurants are popping up all over the place! From Vegan-Fastfood places, to high cuisine and even Raw Vegan places, the choices are unlimited.

To find others and get the social connection that I craved. I’found others by organizing potlucks, and ended up even doing a dutch fruit festival. http://www.dutchfruitfestival.nl

Favorite Meals
At home I enjoy mostly NICECREAM, and a variety of salads. My favorite salad dish is Tricolore Noodles with Sweet Red Sauce. A really good second is Spicy Curry Wraps, and well, it’s just hard to choose from the rest. I love experimenting with food and created a ton of new and familiar flavours to enjoy with my family.
