Who we are

Through the years My New Beginning has earned the reputation of working well with women who may have had difficulty finding their own path or who have had periods of sobriety but have found themselves slipping back into old patterns of behavior. We respect that everyone’s journey is different and while we work with each woman individually to find what works best for them, we give them the time necessary to build the confidence in their own ability to reclaim and enrich their lives.

Wendy Rudin

Founder

For over twenty years Wendy fought her own harrowing battle with drugs and alcohol and after many attempts, she finally got clean in February, 1991. During her first few weeks of recovery Wendy made a promise to herself to help other women and in 2008, Wendy left her job and My New Beginning was founded on Wendy’s absolute belief that women can recover from their own struggles with addiction through nurturing, guidance, and care. A natural communicator with a passion for working  with people, Wendy worked for 17 years in Human Resources for large corporations. In 2010,  Wendy received her certificate from UCLA as a Drug and Alcohol counselor. Wendy has over 30 years personal experience in recovery and is still active in her own 12 step program and community. She believes in empowering women to help them find their own new beginning.

When she’s not working, Wendy enjoys doing volunteer work, she is an animal lover, and loves photography.
