About Somatic Ecotherapy

Somatic Ecotherapy, founded by Wendy Figone, helps people and organizations reconnect with nature, their bodies, and their sense of presence. Through forest therapy, nature-based wellness experiences, retreats, team programs, and one-on-one support, Somatic Ecotherapy creates guided experiences that help people slow down, reduce stress, restore focus, and build a deeper connection with the natural world.

Wendy’s work blends somatic practices, forest therapy, and ecological awareness into experiences that support both personal healing and group connection. Her website now gives visitors a clearer way to understand her work, explore available offerings, and take the next step toward working with her.

Project Description

"Will has been extraordinarily patient, generous with his time, and committed to getting every detail just right. His attention to detail is exceptional, and he’s gone above and beyond by connecting me with valuable resources to help grow my business. I couldn’t recommend him more highly."

 

Wendy’s biggest challenge was having a website that didn’t truly reflect her work or connect with her audience. The previous website felt clunky and wasn’t helping her make the most of what a website can do for her business.

This was frustrating because Wendy knew the quality and value of her work weren’t being clearly reflected online. She felt like she was missing opportunities to connect with the people she could help most.

After working with Upendo Ventures, Somatic Ecotherapy’s website became more engaging, easier to navigate, and better aligned with Wendy’s work. The updated site gives her the tools to grow her business, better serve her clients, and communicate the value of what she offers more clearly.

Wendy has seen more traffic to her website, more inquiries and meetings from people wanting to learn about her work, and even previous clients reconnecting to move forward with projects they had been discussing.

The website has become a powerful tool for building credibility and creating new opportunities. It helped create a shift in momentum for Somatic Ecotherapy and gave Wendy more confidence during the challenging early stages of building her business.

Her advice to other business owners is simple: "Do it! Schedule an in-person meeting and share your vision. They take the time to understand your business and create a website that truly reflects your work. You’ll be glad you did."

Wendy already had a meaningful business with a powerful mission. Our job was to help her website finally communicate that clearly. We rebuilt the experience from the ground up so visitors could quickly understand what Somatic Ecotherapy offers, why it matters, and how to take the next step. From a technical perspective, the new website is stronger, faster, easier to manage, and much more prepared for SEO, AEO, content growth, and long-term business growth. Most importantly, it now reflects Wendy’s work with the clarity, warmth, and credibility it deserves.
