What does Vanessa do, exactly?
As a health coach and educator…
She is passionate about helping clients prioritise their health. Vanessa helps them set and accomplish goals, explore new foods, increase energy, support digestion and feel better in their body.
As a yoga instructor…
Yoga supports a calm mind. Yoga is an excellent “tool” to understand what you truly want and need more of in your life to feel balanced. Yoga helps clients to build strength, flexibility, and resilience in their body by using combination of postures, breath practices, and meditation.
Combining yoga with coaching…
Using motivational interviewing, intuitive exercises, and space creating yoga Vanessa works with her clients to explore where they are right now and where they are getting stuck. Together we identify smaller (and realistic) steps to move through past their hurdles.
The end result is a fun way towards reaching your goals — following your own inner guidance!
