I Am Ness

My name is Vanessa and I am an artist, guide, and bridge-builder…a witness, muse, and midwife to the deeper, soulful nature of humanity…
Meeting you here now along the journey of remembrance and restoration, the return to our original & innate wholeness.

My joyful work involves the co-creation of transformative containers for facilitating self-regeneration on all levels, both one-on-one and in service to communities. At the moment, I primarily teach & coach others how to use herbs and food for self-healing. I take a holistic, compassionate, and lifestyle-based approach to meet each client where they’re at. I acknowledge that wholeness & vitality does not come from our diet alone, but through balance within all our relationships and the integrity of our own thought, word, feeling, and action.

My goal is to ensure an easeful transition into a more life-sustaining and vital way of being in the world, while empowering your self-sovereignty and community agency.
I work with my clients to create personalized and Place-based health protocols, journeys, and rituals that provide both structure and possibility for creative, ongoing adaptation along their unique journey.

I place my faith in the intelligence & spirit of Life, and with it our innate capacity to heal once we align ourselves to the forces and principles of Nature. I take my inspiration from the arts & sciences of permaculture & soil regeneration, the body & lands that hold me, ancestral song & dance, grief & praise, and all of the roots, shoots, fruits, flowers, & hearts that have nourished me along the way.

Welcome to the world of regenerative detoxification, whole living foods & waters, and the healing power of Nature within. So much more is possible in this Life than we were taught to believe. I’d like to show you!

EDUCATION

Specialties

Holistic Detox: Food as Medicine

As a Holistic Health Guide, I specialize in regenerative detoxification & whole-systems level healing, starting with the body. I use therapeutic diets, herbal protocols, re-framing techniques and lifestyle recommendations to help my clients reach their health goals. These protocols offer the possibility of short-term reset in service to long-term health- & self-sovereignty.

As a teacher & facilitator, I offer transformative containers and education in the form of group courses, live workshops, and in-person events.

Transformation & Regeneration:
Death to Life

As a Community “Hygienist” & Rites of Passage Specialist (Doula), I offer consultations with individuals and communities and help co-create containers, ceremonies, and place-based processes of transformation, transition, and cultural regeneration. This work is about caring for Life & tending the heart(h) fire, building community resilience, opening to our grief & joy, offering our service to Life & the seventh generation coming. The following are some of my areas of focus, philosophical orientations, and tools.
