When I first scheduled my sessions with Vanessa, I honestly didn't know what to expect. I'd never been through NLP before but I was really excited to give it a try. Well let me just say that I was blown away with the insights that she was able to help me discover. She helped guide me into deep subconscious thoughts and beliefs that I didn't even know that I was harboring, and then helped guide me through a process of releasing them. It truly is a magical service and as someone who loves trying lots of self-awareness services, something that I've never been able to experience with other tools.
If you feel that there are emotions or thoughts that are holding you back from being present, calm and happy I definitely recommend giving her a call. She will give you lots of insights and tools to help rid yourself of these and gently help you generate self-compassion and forgiveness for any grievances that you might have.
I find it hard to put into words exactly how profound my experience was with Vanessa. I had been seeking "therapy" or subconscious work that would still intertwine my spiritual beliefs and my session with Vanessa completely encompassed it all. I felt it was eye opening, life changing and gave me good ground work on how to create a conscious change in my beliefs and behavior.
We started with a brief introduction to NLP and hypnosis, identified behavioral areas of improvement and journeyed through a variety of exercises, guided visuals, slight hypnosis and conversation to prompt new thought processes.
I felt completed supported and safe with Vanessa. Even with my eyes closed, I could feel her energy determined to work with me for the growth I was seeking.
Vanessa truly offers something like I have never experienced before but is exactly what I've been seeking! I stray away from traditional types of counseling because as our behaviors evolve, we must find ways to evolve with them.
Even at age 25, I believe this type of "work" is worth exploring to evolve our subconscious! We did our first session in person and I will continue with Vanessa via FaceTime.
I highly recommend her sessions to anyone seeking the same or remotely interested in their own personal growth. Vanessa's professional approach with her study and training showcases beautifully with her authentic and personable attitude. I'm greatly appreciative and will continue to work with Vanessa.

Read MoreVanessa is truly a miracle worker. I had no idea what to expect heading into my first session with her. But right away she explained the format of her sessions and walked me through not just each step but the meaning, intention and impact behind it.
I'd be remiss if I didn't also mention what a perfect (and rare to find!) blend of neuroscience and philosophy Vanessa brings to the table. She is incredibly knowledge on the brain patterns and cognitive limitations that can hold us back and caused me to question many of my day-to-day behaviors. I am still, over a week later, ruminating on many of the revelations she helped me come to. An underlying idea of her teachings cover the power of the mind to help us achieve the impossible -- who can't get behind that?? And beyond that, she breaks down tactical approaches to aid us in getting there.
I elicited more meaning and self-reflection in my time with Vanessa in one session than I have in an entire month-long course covering similar concepts. I so look forward to my next one with her and can't wait to see what else we'll uncover!!
Thank you for everything!

Read MoreMy NLP sessions with Vanessa felt very natural and went deeper than expected, I didnt feel like I had to try to do anything, I was a bit nervous going into it, as I didn't know much about NLP and the subconscious. But it was so comfortable, and I immediately felt at ease. My sessions were specificially to quit smoking and Vanessa used a lot of great imagery during my session to create negative attachments between smoking cigarettes and other activities that scared me away from smoking again.
Vanessa is very warm and caring. She makes sure her patients feel safe and comfortable. I trust her and I feel like I can be myself, which allowed me to really have a deeper immersive experience.
I felt the session helped me reiterate that I no longer wanted to be a smoker and it in fact made me disgusted by the smell of cigarettes, enabling me to stop in an easy, almost automatic way. It was very helpful and I would highly recommend Vanessa to anyone wanting to do some self-work or improve in any area of life. For me, quitting smoking was a huge battle to have won in only a few sessions (after having tried many other methods!). I will always be grateful for this shift she helped me make, and everything else that changed because of it.

Read MoreI felt like I was equipping myself with a mindset that would lead me towards a fulfilling future. NLP offers techniques and mindful practices that help people let go of things that weigh them down. You feel like you can have a fresh start whenever you want it.
Vanessa is caring, compassionate, and very sweet as a practitioner. You feel she has your best interest at heart. With Vanessa you feel like you have a trusted confidante and friend helping you through these practices. Its a very safe and secure environment she creates with her soothing voice and affirming smile.
I definitely found the sessions helpful. I felt optimistic and like a burden had been lifted, a burden which perhaps was only in my mind anyway. The sessions helped me to free my mind of old negative habits.

Read MoreIn terms of my first impressions, wow, there were a lot but what really stuck out for me was finally discovering a more proactive perspective of my own thought process and how the words I tell myself affect my relationships with others and, most of all, myself. I think the most important thing I learned is how my life and my story is the result of MY choices and everything I do from here on out is entirely up to me and it is my responsibility to recognize when the benefits of my actions and my choices outweigh the consequences and vice versa.
It's cathartic to realize that my choices and the direction of my life can be ameliorated simply by reframing my thought process and how I express my every day experiences and feelings. Mindfulness and remaining within the present moment seems so daunting and complicated sometimes despite the fact it is actually quite simple. It's liberating to discover that there are realistic, obtainable steps I can take to reshaping the framework of my mind set.
I have to also say that Vanessa made me feel so at ease and comfortable during the process. She has a remarkably kind and nurturing presence and it made it so easy for me to be vulnerable and open up.

Read MoreI'm so grateful to Vanessa for the shifts that I'm already making in just a few sessions. She is really warm, intelligent and a master at what she does! I immediately felt at home while talking to her because she is able to create a really loving and safe place to talk about tricky things.I didn't know much about NLP when I first started but could quickly see how effective this type of work is. I'm working with Vanessa specifically around my beliefs and self-confidence. We did some Timeline therapy and I am in awe of what came out of that. I was able to shift a traumatic moment and limiting belief into a huge reframe which left me feeling lighter and more empowered. I'm looking forward to more leaps and bounds! Thanks, Vanessa!
Tyra F., Social Media Manager, 34
Read MoreBefore my session with Vanessa, I was held back by a limiting belief about men. Through a guided visualization and provocative questions, I found more love and forgiveness for my past and came up with a new, healthy belief that is going to fuel my future. I'm surprised by how fast I was able to change my mindset and perspective on my relationships. Having done over fifteen years of personal growth work, I found Vanessa's approach using NLP, Timeline therapy, to be one of the most effective and fastest routes to forgiveness and empowerment. Thank you!

Read MoreI was referred to Vanessa by my friends in LA, as I was looking to try NLP with an advanced practitioner. We did a few months of sessions (one of her packages), once a week via Skype, and I can honestly say that my life has taken a turn for the better.
I reached out because I was wanting to get back in shape and to find the motivation post- pregnancy, and what I got out of it was much more...
It turned out that getting fitter (which I did loose 12 kilos!) was a result of a mental framework and belief system that was rooted in my genealogy, and my neuro-pathways for resistance ran deep.
Realizing where it all came from and creating new habits has helped me in many ways; including relationships and my perspective moving forward with my career now that I'm a mom. I have a clearer sense of vision and purpose, so it was definitely worth the investment. If there are any changes you want to make, I recommend giving Vanessa a try.

Read MoreHaving just had my first session with Vanessa, I can say I am incredibly impressed and actively curious to learn more and delve deeper into NLP and the insights we began to unpick!! Vanessa is incredibly approachable, warm, perceptive and wonderful to talk to. I look forward to more and highly recommend anyone who's considering this approach!
Alexa F., Co-Founder of Retreat Company, 28
Read MoreWhen I came across Vanessa, she inspired trust, safety and her professionalism went beyond to making me feel she cares deeply about helping me beyond what I could have expected.
It only took one very powerful session where I understood the power and depth of NLP. I feel brought out of my comfort zone, out if being "fine" about some aspects of my life to wanting to get to great and Fabulous.. knowing now where I want to go!!
It was such an awesome realization when I understood the meaning of: "until you make the unconsciousness conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate." - and I know that once people can experience this through NLP, there is no going back to being satisfied with feeling "fine" about your life! Your going to want to get to 10!! And Vanessa can help you get there!

Read MoreI was surprised and impressed with Vanessa during my NLP sessions. I didn't even know what NLP was, but she guided me clearly and concisely, making it easy for me to put my thoughts into words. She helped me with specific exercises and actions, which, much more than traditional therapy, helped me get to the root of the problem, and find a solution right away. She spoke in an understanding way, while making things concrete and actionable, rather than abstract and impossible. Each time, I left feeling a new sense of clarity and power, with not only the knowledge that I could improve my situation, but armed with specific tasks and homework to do so. Vanessa is knowledgeable, compassionate, and articulate.

Read MoreVanessa's passion for NLP and talent as a practitioner stems from much deeper within than any series of trainings. Having met many clients of hers, singlehandedly her strengths can be summarized as her innate ability to relate to people. She forms hypotheses quickly, and tests them seamlessly. Most of her clients have had some kind of a revelation or an "aha" moment in the first session alone! In my case, Vanessa created many "aha" moments even when she was just beginning of her NLP studies. NLP is a set of very powerful techniques, but it is up to the practitioner to know how to put them to use when it matters. From day one you can expect to have your mind set on specific, achievable goals, and you better believe that you will feel empowered to achieve them - Vanessa is very results-oriented. Vanessa truly loves what she does, and if we did not live in a capitalist world I am certain that she would be just as happy helping others though NLP for free - and THAT is the kind of practitioner you want to be working with.

Read MoreI had an amazing experience with Vanessa. She helped me feel more connected to myself and to the energy of the universe. When I came to her I was feeling a bit lost. She connected the dots to help me rebalance my life and opened up opportunities for me. I learned to see things in a different way, and seeing my life with a new light was invaluable.
