Success Stories

I reached out to Vanessa when I hit a particularly sticky spot – THE STICKY SPOT – the big one, that’s been holding me back from stepping into the full expression of my work – and my life – for years. Working with Vanessa was like having the shades pulled up on my life so the light could flood in – and it’s stayed in. Working with her was like playing with colour and light, making new pictures out of old ones, seeing the same diamond that I see in myself – but approaching it from a completely new angle. I recommend her without reservation.

Amy, Business Owner
This experience has been transformational, even better than I hoped for.

Linda, GP
I have worked with other coaches before, but none like Vanessa, who gets to the core of an individual and brings out the best. Without you even realising what your best is. Are you brave enough to get under the skin? It is tiring work but worth it. I wish I would have met her sooner.

Louise, Transformation Manager
Vanessa saw right into the core of me, what I can be, and called me to be that and then some. I am now connected to my life purpose, living the dream, playing large; have stepped into my power and have the courage to speak the truth. I have blossomed as a leader.

Marion, Transformation Director
I found my sessions with Vanessa extremely insightful, eye-opening and transformative. She is an excellent listener and truly skillful in her ability to read body language in one moment and adapt to the information provided by doing an off-the-cuff exercise the next. The sessions allowed me to develop my leadership skills, grow in confidence and become more assertive as a result. An invaluable coaching experience which I would highly recommend, especially for the sceptics!

Haroon, GP
Vanessa is very energetic, generous, creative and extremely resourceful. Working with her, I’ve felt supported and encouraged. She has helped me align with what is truly important to me, she has been a mirror and a role model. She walks the talk! I have had lots of insights with her and great guidance in creating my new business, as well as lots of laughter. I definitely recommend her!

Sonia, Executive Coach
Vanessa didn’t buy into my internal story, she guided me and showed me how to overcome what I’d been listening to for so long, that was holding me back.

Karen, Business Owner
We all have crossroads in our personal life, and they can seem unfathomable. As a business owner, those crossroads come even more frequently and can seem insurmountable in terms of decision making. Vanessa kickstarts your thinking, she challenges beautifully and gets you thinking in a different way and ultimately gives you a toolkit to help you navigate not only this crossroads, but the next and the next. Cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone who feels stuck and simply wants to get on, get back on track or wants a new track.

Jayne, Marketing Director
I would highly recommend Vanessa as, by far and away, the best coach I have ever come across. What sets her apart for me is that she is very authentic with values in the real world. Her greatest strength is her ability to share her own fears and vulnerability; this means, as a client, you feel you are not an object that is being coached but someone who is having real life experiences shared with you, by someone who genuinely does and wants to understand you as a person, and during coaching sessions you feel an equal, that she is bringing the best out in you. I have since recommended Vanessa to close family members and friends. She is a life coach, and to drive engagement in the business world, it is usually the life coaching that gets people past the things that hold them back. She really is one in a million and I would highly recommend her.

Ronak, VC
Vanessa’s enthusiasm for the job that she does is contagious. Her empathy towards her client is the unique quality that makes her stand out, and this approach makes her someone trust-worthy, so you can bring out your true self with her. I say ‘trustworthy’ because you as an individual need to be listened to non-judgmentally so you feel comfortable to share your personal story, and Vanessa was able to resurface my values and principles through my story. She has encouraged me to see the other side of the precipice which I had been avoiding during a very difficult period of my life, and this has been truly transformative. In short, Vanessa can guide, inspire and empower her clients to achieve their full potential.

Ridhima, Branch Development Officer
I can thoroughly recommend Vanessa as facilitator and coach. She is a trusted supplier for British Airways and has recently created an innovative 6-month development program to support peer-to-peer service coaching. I have experienced her as a powerfully resourceful, creative and thought-provoking professional who listens deeply to client needs and is therefore able to create effective solutions that impact on business improvement measures and make a difference to individuals. Clients describe her as inspirational and uplifting, and she consistently achieves the highest ratings for her interventions.

Sabine, L&D, OD, Coach
Vanessa’s approach has helped me put sustainable changes in place in my everyday work to reduce the effect the daily grind was having on my ability to do my job. She uses compassion and humour in equal measure, and I end each session feeling I have made progress. She directs me to resources which help me understand how and why we find ourselves feeling the strain and how simple changes can be used to counterbalance this. Quite simply the most useful time I have ever spent on my education or personal development.

Rachel, Consultant Ophthalmologist
Vanessa coached me following redundancy from a Managing Director’s position within the publishing industry. She helped me identify and prioritise my core business and home values, re-energise and give me belief in myself again as well as challenge some of my thought processes. Vanessa has made the whole process incredibly good fun, friendly and empowering!

Darren, Managing Director
Vanessa doesn’t let you get away from yourself. So often in coaching we look at what we need to do and avoid ourselves a little; at least, that’s a familiar pattern with me. Coaching with Vanessa means getting to know yourself and it all starts there.

Louise, Accountant
Vanessa has a beautiful way of pulling information out…even the things you aren’t sure you can or want to see. She is incredibly gentle, but encourages you to move forward…to see the possibility. She has an amazing gift for helping you see your own light. And not just seeing it but locating it within yourself so that you can access it at any time. Very powerful and highly recommended.

Claire, Teacher
Vanessa coached me through what was proving to be a painful transition. There was no-where to hide, I was challenged and I was also supported. This is an enduring support that pushes me forward when the easiest choice would be to go to bed and hide. It is playful and spiritual, also. There is no doubt that I’ve got myself to a better state of being with Vanessa’s skilful and powerful intervention.

Joe, Actor & Coach
I’m now about to start a 6-week fitness challenge where I’ve organised 6 other fitness instructors to deliver 6 weeks of classes to raise money for the Patrick Wild research centre. I’ve also just had my first yoga anatomy article accepted for publication. Thank you!

Janet, Business Owner
Having now had all of my senior managers exposed to Vanessa and the programme she has created, the results are palpable. I can see a new found adventurism in my senior management team and we have started shifting the focus of this team in a very positive way. Vanessa challenges me and my people to have the difficult conversations you don’t always want to have as CEO.

Michael, CEO
I would highly recommend coaching with Vanessa. I was struggling to focus at work and had lost my enthusiasm for the job. After a few sessions, during which we explored a variety of issues both in my personal and work life I have rediscovered my enjoyment of my role and improved my work life balance. Vanessa helped me see things from a different perspective, and supported me throughout the process. It has made a huge difference.

Karen Practice Manager
They say growth comes at the edge of your comfort zone. Vanessa knows how to take you to that edge, her experience will help you de-clutter your mind and she will challenge you to see past your limitations. Vanessa practices what she preaches, she is deeply empathetic, authentic and intuitive. In Vanessa I have found someone who helps me reflect on the important things in my professional and personal life, she is great at pointing you in the right direction.

I first met Vanessa at a leadership training organised by the company I work for and I have since gone back to her privately. If you’re looking for transformation, book a session now.

Amarjit Singh
I learned that it is ok to ask the hard questions that we normally avoid or side step.

I’ve found the course a stepping stone into a different way of thinking.

I’ve become a better leader and closer to my team as a result. We’re having more straight-forward conversations and that’s positively impacting the way we work and results we achieve.

You don’t learn these skills at university. They not only improve work but also your way of life.

I just wanted to say a massive thank you once again, you not only made me value and believe in myself but also showed me its ok to just be you which is something I was really struggling with. Not only have I noticed a big impact of this coaching I have had lots of feedback from my team also. Couldn’t of got through what I did without you.
