What Students Received From Embarking On This Journey

Praise & Gratitude

Trusting My Body

by Julie Corriveau

"I have become a more confident and courageous woman after completing this course. I love and trust my body. I no longer feel anxious or have anxiety when I'm in a social setting. I'm more playful with my children. I've become more aware of moments where I find myself drawing back into introvert and am able to bring myself out of them. I have more fun dancing at social gatherings or anywhere for that matter."

So Grateful!

by Christina Papaevangelou

"Vanessa is excellent at helping to connect our hearts and souls to our bodies. You're able to, in a clear way, help us make the connection between ourselves in the world, and what our bodies are trying to communicate. The work with you in this program has helped me feel more connected to my body and more beautiful and powerful in it."

Living Life to the Fullest !

by Brittney Mishio

"I am more aware of my body and the power it has. I am more confident, I will dance down the street and not care what others are thinking. I experience with my heart more deeply. The elderly women who watched us dance outside saying she wished she had done this when she was younger still plays in my head. I don’t want to regret any moments because I didn’t try, or I was afraid. I desire to experience life as fully as I can. The program showed me the freedom of being myself, showing myself fully. A beautiful gift. A precious completion. I’m so grateful to have gone through the program."

Surrendering to My Power

by Amber Ellis

"I am much more confident. In my body, in sharing my voice. And more trusting of my intuition and what my body wants to communicate with me. I have such a deeper connection and love and respect for my body. And this is HUGE. I am more easily able to trust all that it is capable of and tune into what it desires. I now know what it means and feels like to step into my power and access all my different facets, without the same fear of worrying about what others may think. To perform for myself, and to surrender to being seen and witnessed as I am."
