Pure Jeevan

Founder and Partner

Pure Jeevan is a rapidly growing health education business, primarily dedicated to inspiring others to live healthier, happier, more fulfilled lives. There are many sub-companies under the Pure Jeevan umbrella, at varying degrees of development. The All Raw Directory, founded by Wendi, is a cutting-edge community-run directory for the raw and living foods community. Also under the Pure Jeevan umbrella is Portland Live Blood, a company dedicated to educating others about health and how it can be easily viewed under a highly powerful, specialized microscope by trained and skilled microscopists (Wendi and Jim are fully-trained and highly ethical in this sometimes-misunderstood alternative health modality).

Pure Jeevan grew out of a desire to spread love and happiness, and most of all inspiration, to those who feel lost and unwell. Selected achievements include:

• A Youtube video, below, documenting Wendi's weight loss has been viewed more than 30,000 times.
   
• Pure Jeevan's readership has grown to more than 10,000 individuals worldwide.
   
• Wendi toured the country many times, and has met and interviewed (or has been interviewed by) many top experts in the field.
   
• Pure Jeevan has published nearly 1,000 articles to date on natural health and nutrition.
   
• Pure Jeevan has produced and freely gifted three eBooks to more than 10,000 people worldwide.
   
• Wendi developed, planned, and carried out an amazing sold-out raw food and yoga retreat, drawing attendees from around the country.

1998 - Present

National Advertising Division (New York, NY)

Freelance Publications Manager

Publication Management (print and web) for national legal advertising publications.

1991 - 2005

Council of Better Business Bureaus (Arlington, VA)

Director and Editor of Legal Advertising Publications

Wendi's career began as an Executive Assistant in Arlington, VA, for the Council of Better Business Bureaus (CBBB, the headquarters for all BBBs). In less than five months she was promoted to an editorial position within the CBBB's publications department, then to managing the CBBB publications and subscriptions database. Eventually, she transitioned to telecommuting full-time as the Director and Editor. In this role, Wendi primarily dealt with "Do's & Don'ts In Advertising" and "Advertising Topics" -- the legal advertising publications of the CBBB. The "Do's & Don'ts" compendium went through immense changes under her direction and grew to the point where it was desirable to CCH Publishers. (She essentially worked herself out of a job, since CCH had their own staff and her services were no longer needed.)

1994 - Present

Other Freelance Work

Wendi has been prolific with freelance writing, editing, and publications management for various companies, as well as for numerous publishers and nonprofits in the Washington, D.C., and New York metro areas.

Additionally, Wendi is a Citizen Journalist for NaturalNews.com, a leading web information provider in the alternative health field.

1995 - Present
