MEET VANESSA
It’s great to connect with you!
For most of my life, I was nurtured by a way of survival. I was taught to think big & do big things, but not too big; just big enough within means that weren’t bigger than others…
My upbringing groomed me to “perfection”—I was a college graduate with a career in medical, fulfilling my passion of helping others, on my way to medical school, traveling the world, no kids, a clean record, a great income, a very likable personality, an acceptable body weight looking completely healthy & stable…
“Looking the part” is the KEY phrase here…
I looked stable & put together on the outside, but I was a chaotic mess on the inside.
I was LIVING, but not living authentically…
I woke up one day & didn’t like who I had become…
I started to change my trajectory through taking responsibility for my own healing
BUT IT WASN’T EASY!
I had to keep hitting a new “rock bottom” & break myself down to build myself back up!
It took learning through years of experience, and investing in myself through mentors, healers & coaches, to discover what conscious healing is, looks & feels like!
Some of those experiences included:
Getting arrested
Workplace abuse + job loss
Depression + burnout
Finding my identity outside of my family & career
Addressing generational trauma/ familial wounds
Body Dysmorphia
Linking love with abuse + neglect
Grieving the loss of others + old version of myself
Over time, I regained my own trust which resulted in a stronger foundation and love of self!
I found worthiness & freedom outside of my conditioning & created space for the new version of myself by establishing boundaries to provide the standard of how I want to be treated by others because it is exactly what I deserve!
Every single trial & tribulation led me to exactly where I needed to be and to you, reading my story, here at this very moment!
I am forever grateful for that!
My biggest passion in life is helping people, help themselves.
I am the safe space for others to work on & through their shadows until they feel safe & courageous enough to live life on their own terms!
When you do what you need to do in a way that’s healthy to your nervous system, you’re allowing the life you want to live to be created for you!
You are more than equipped to step into your emotional freedom & authenticity–let me help guide you to rediscover who you are at your very core!
