Testimonials  
"Vanessa has taught me to step back and reflect on my thoughts and ways of thinking. Through her coaching, I have realized that I was always setting myself up for the worst instead of the best. She has heped me find ways to forgive myself and others; to move forward instead of dwelling on the past. I now can forgive and respect others and still take care of myself without being hurt. Vanessa has coached me in a respectful and positive way all along and for this I have more self-respect and confidence in myself." ~M.D.

"Although Vanessa came highly recommended by a family member, I was at first very skeptical and uncertain; however, from the moment I walked into her office I felt safe and calm. The energy healing was both welcome and necessary. Vanessa addressed several issues in my life, illuminating my path and how I might best continue forward. On my way to the appointment, I had quietly asked for reassurance, and I offered up that although I would not mention it, I wanted Vanessa to address an acutely painful situation I was experiencing with a friend. Sure enough, Vanessa accurately summed up AND addressed the nature of the conflict and I felt my faith affirmed.  Since my first meeting with Vanessa, many pieces of my puzzle have cleared, the edges appear more defined and fit into the life I endeavor to create. I am grateful to Vanessa for her time and insight, and look forward to regularly working with her in the future." ~J.V.

" 'VANESSA' gentle, kind, intuitive, pure, strong, positive 'LIGHT'~  I am thankful to have been given the opportunity to have such a wonderful person be a part of my journey and help me along the way. The world as we know it is truly blessed to have an angel like Vanessa on our side. Thank you for being you Vanessa! "~H.M.

"Vanessa is a beautiful human being for which words are hard to find.  From our very first encounter through Moksha Yoga, I was immediately connected and intrigued by Vanessa’s bright light.  There was something she emanated that I wanted for myself.  Once we started working together, Vanessa opened doors for me that I knew existed, but didn’t have the strength or courage to access myself.  Our work together has been invaluable.  Her honest and caring approach has helped motivate me to move forward in what seems like an endless spiral.  With Vanessa’s love and guidance, I know that I am on the right path to finding balance and purpose for myself.  I believe that the universe brought us together for a reason, and I truly cherish our time together.  Much love and gratitude Vanessa."~S.K.

"Words can't really do justice for what Vanessa has done for me.  Vanessa is in tune with forces that are beyond this world and she has used her wonderful gift to help me.  The reading was so far beyond any other reading I have had, and I've been to quite a few.  She didn't just sit there with cards and tell me what I wanted to hear.  She was honest, insightful and kind.  She has not only helped me heal, but has set me on the right path, as well as confirming what I needed to know and hear. If there was any doubt in my mind it is now cleared and I have her to thank for that.  I will not go to anyone else for readings." ~A.O
