Vanessa has this incredible way of helping you feel seen, supported, and empowered.  I used to feel overwhelmed and reactive—like I was failing my strong-willed child. Vanessa gave me the tools to stay steady in the hard moments, and reminded me that connection, not perfection, is what matters most. I feel like I have a roadmap now.
