The result? A practice that feels both grounded and liberating, helping you move not just better, but more intelligently.

Your sessions help enormously with stress relief, so calming and relaxing. Nothing I have ever done before has been of this high standard. You have such a wealth of knowledge that I feel safe in the practices I am doing with you.  - Jill B.


Vanessa carefully teaches the language, techniques and postures so that amazingly, you hear her voice and your body knows intuitively what to do. - Alison C. W.


Using movement and the breath has enabled me to feel grounded and centred. I’ve regained a sense of body awareness rather than being in my head so much. It’s really been amazing and your guidance is so calming and easy to follow. - Joanne B.

Vanessa is an astonishing teacher, with a huge depth and breadth of specialist knowledge informing her teaching practice. Her teaching style is always friendly and positive, artfully delivering with a sense of great ease that belies the hard work you will suddenly realise you are doing towards the end of a set of reps! My body feels incredibly balanced and strong after her classes, as a movement professional myself I find training with Vanessa an essential part of maintaining my resilience and self-care. - Genevieve M.


Vanessa is a truly excellent trainer. I was a college athlete and have worked with many coaches, but few are as talented as Vanessa. She is able to adapt to goals and needs in real time as well as to set objectives over many sessions. I wanted to focus on my lower body and we have done so continuously over two years with changes based on aches, pains and tweaks whenever they arise. No workout is the same. All of them are challenging. With even just one session per week, I feel that I have a strong foundation for fitness and health that leaves many of my friends and family not believing it's possible. - Alex L.


Training with Vanessa is a treat! She knows exactly how to condition the body and preparing it for those extra little challenges that make you feel like you own it. I enjoy the mix of disciplines she brings in her method and she never spares a good scientific explanation combined to the exercise. Her ability to combining knowledge with a good laugh, unlocks pleasure in the most challenging moments, and leaves you with a proud smile at the end of each session. - Nikita D. M.
