Hello, Im Vanessa for more than the past decade of my life I have been self educating on health. I have had autoimmune issues, mental health, emotional health, and trauma related issues from car accident and in general abuse. I have seen through generations of my family facing health crisis through many have resulted in dying early. I still carry in my heart, im ashamed to say i was upset alot of them passed only to realize you cant change what hasn't been educated.

This isn't a victim story what im trying to is change my families narrative and my own and empower themselves to change on what they think is impossible, to HEAL. In whatever form possible. I want to give back to the communities and be able to teach what I know, through embodied experience. I know if my family had been exposed to the help they needed maybe things could've been different.

I have so far educated myself through my own support yoga therapeutics and herbalism, nutrition, and trauma education. I am a younger adult but i have worked 3 jobs at a time a couple times in my life and have been afraid to ask for help.

There is one last piece of education i'm missing and I need help. I need help to keep going and I want to change my inner narrative to from victim mode/ survival mode . To know that there is hope and there is people that care.

My dream is to build a holistic coaching business and a non profit center that people can learn to heal. We cant do it alone! We need community and people that care. I want to teach movement, mental health awareness, emotional awareness, nutrition, a trauma support tools to navigate through everyday. Last but not least incorporate the artist within to help others express themselves fully. It is about healing but brining back lost pieces to themselves. This is my alternative to medication. I have seen my family pass away using pills that ultimately just kept them going back for more.

Anything does help and I appreciate whatever comes my way may it increase ten fold in your life!

-Vanessa
