Meet the Author: Wendi Kehn

I’m Wendi Kehn, a writer, creator, and the founder of Hellbloom Haven. I didn’t set out to become an author. I set out to survive, and somewhere along the way, I started to create.

I’m a mother of three, and everything I build comes from lived experience, growth, and the belief that even the hardest chapters of our lives can hold meaning. I write for the people who feel deeply, for the ones who have been through things they don’t always have words for, and for those who are trying to find their way back to themselves.

✨ My Journey

Before writing, I spent 18 years working in healthcare. Then everything changed. After a back injury, I lost my ability to continue in that field, and with it, the stability I had built my life around. I lost everything. My career, my sense of identity, and the life I had known.

I found myself starting over in a way I never expected, facing uncertainty in nearly every direction. I had a choice in that moment: give up, or find another way forward. So I chose to learn, to create, and to keep going. Writing became more than an outlet, it became a way to process, to rebuild, and to create something meaningful from what I had lived through.

📚 My Work

I write across different formats and audiences, but everything I create is connected by the same intention, to help someone feel less alone and to offer perspective, understanding, and a sense of connection.

My work includes:

• Self-growth and reflective writing centered on healing and perspective
• Poetry drawn from lived experience and emotional truth
• Creative and imaginative pieces
• Children’s books focused on emotional awareness, self-worth, and empowerment

I independently publish my books, which are available on Amazon. If you’d like to explore them, you can find links to all of my books within the Poetry Portal and down below.

Whether I’m writing for adults or children, the goal is the same: to create something that meets people where they are.

🌱 How I Create– (to learn more click how I create)

I develop the ideas, the messages, and the direction behind everything I create. I use tools like AI to help refine my writing and bring my ideas to life visually, but every piece is something I carefully shape, review, and finalize myself.

I believe in being transparent about my process, and I believe we don’t have to wait for perfect circumstances to begin. If I had waited until I had more time, more money, or more resources, none of this would exist. Instead, I chose to start where I was, with what I had.

🌿 Beyond the Books

What I’ve created extends beyond writing. Hellbloom Haven is a space for healing, reflection, and coming back to yourself, one step at a time. It brings together a range of tools and offerings designed to support people in a grounded, accessible way.

Within that space, you’ll find:

• A breathwork wall and grounding space to help regulate your nervous system and create moments of calm
• A trauma education portal offering clear, compassionate explanations to help you better understand your experiences
• A healing and self-discovery portal with tools and practices for deeper inner work
• Poetry and writing drawn from my own journey, offering language to experiences that are often hard to express
• Intuitive services centered on healing, insight, and self-growth (not predictive in nature)
• Non-clinical peer support sessions, providing a space to talk openly and feel heard without judgment
• Thoughtfully designed apparel and products that carry messages of resilience, healing, and empowerment

This space is still growing, just like I am. Everything here has been created with intention, honesty, and care.

🤍 A Note to You

If you’ve found your way here, I hope something I’ve created meets you exactly where you are. You don’t have to have everything figured out, and you don’t have to be healed to begin. You’re allowed to take this one step at a time.

You’re welcome to explore this space in whatever way feels right for you. There’s no rush, no pressure, just different paths, different tools, and space to meet yourself where you are. If something here speaks to you, follow it.
