Vanessa has been instrumental in supporting my health since I came to her following my cancer diagnosis in early 2024. She has done significant research on my behalf to ensure she was fully informed, and has flexed and adapted with my changing health status throughout our 18 months working together. She provides clear, precise food and supplementation plans that are easy to follow and has answered every question I’ve had with patience and expertise, directing me to excellent external resources in addition to her own vast knowledge. The changes I needed to make to my diet and lifestyle were radical, daunting shifts. Vanessa adeptly helped me navigate these transformations, supporting me when I was living in fear and unable to trust my body. Her lived experience of ill health gives her a deep empathy for others navigating their own health challenges, and she was able to provide both support and structure, specifically meeting my needs as they arose. Working together has always felt like a true collaboration. Vanessa empowers me to learn how to take control of my own wellbeing, but when I have struggled mentally or emotionally, she has always stepped in to provide robust support. Deeply intuitive, she has a keen sense of when to push and when to hold space, and she guided me to a place where it became apparent that my body was truly responding. I trust Vanessa and her recommendations implicitly. Working with her has given me a depth of knowledge and understanding of my own body that I simply never had before. She has taught me to listen, to pay attention and to trust what my body is telling me. I have never been healthier and I now have a deep understanding of what nourishes and supports me. I have been living with breast cancer for over two years now. The tumors I have are typically aggressive and continue to grow, yet since I took control of my health in collaboration with Vanessa, they have not grown or metastasized, a result my oncology team with the NHS has found extraordinary and unexpected. I am continuing my work with Vanessa as we now focus on supporting my body in eliminating the tumors completely. – Nicole McGrath
What I loved most about the inner rewilding journey was the time and intention to get back in touch with nurturing and loving my body, in a way that felt easy and supportive. Vanessa is extremely knowledgeable and was able to identify simple changes in my nutrition that dramatically improved my overall well-being in days: energy, digestion, sleep. This program was well worth the investment and I look forward to continuing to use these foundational principles in my day-to-day life! ~Erica Workman
I enlisted Vanessa’s help when mainstream medicine couldn’t provide answers to my exhaustion. Her vast knowledge, insight and guidance has brought me out of Chronic Fatigue and I couldn’t be more grateful. My gut-biome is healing, my mental health in improving and my energy has returned. Vanessa’s patience, support and caring manner has enabled my journey back to health. I wish I’d discovered her years ago…she’s a godsend! – Kerry Emerson
Vanessa is what it says on the tin… Compassionate, kind and holds space powerfully. Together we’ve worked through her inner rewilding journey which completely changed my physiology and reframed nourishment for me – this is not just food, it’s a step by step guide to premier self care. Leaving you lighter, more inspired and clearly outlines a roadmap to move forward with beyond the protocol. We moved into CI and parts work as a curiosity of mine -I was sure ‘counciling’ wasn’t for me- I’d experienced somatic shock (the tip of the iceberg) and decided to explore the feelings in my body in relationship to my mind and subconscious storytelling. Vanessa’s has helped me sit with the discomforts, my triggers and my responses in real time. It’s a life’s work but since working with Vanessa in this explorative way, I am so much more present when my body responds to situations externally and internally. In our sessions we magically weave in astrology – the depth of her ancient knowing feels so complete. I always leave our sessions feeling supported and completely seen. To summarise, Vanessa is the real deal! She’s carved out a 360 package of offerings that you can absolutely rely on for ultimate mind, body and soul alignment ! …annnnd, I’m about to embark on the Dutch test hormone test with her guidance .. I’ll keep you posted on that adventure, then! – Charlotte Ellis I didn’t think I needed help with nutrition or gut health, as I already followed multiple nutritionists and podcasts. However, booking the introductory session with Vanessa turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made. The programme was incredible. I learned how different foods affected my body, became aware of my habits, and noticed my own resistance to change. It brought awareness to both my physical wellbeing and my mindset. This programme has greatly supported my recovery from a recent inflammatory neuropathy, and I continue to use it for my ongoing recovery and will use this as a great reset tool in the future. I would happily recommend it to anyone looking to improve, tune into, and optimise their wellbeing. – Kerry Fallon
I came to Vanessa in September through a recommendation, after having received a diagnosis for arthritis, which was my driving motivation for change. I am 42, in full perimenopause and I was struggling daily with fatigue, constant pain, depression, anxiety, mood swings, insomnia, eczema, asthma, Ad infinitum. I have always struggled with my weight, trying every and all diets with little to no success. I embarked on her inner rewilding course and met weekly on zoom with her for sessions and had constant support when needed through what’s app. Within the first couple of weeks, i was sleeping better, more focused and energised and all my symptoms had eased most noticeably the chronic joint aches and back pain. The fact that these improvements were so tangible, coupled with Vanessa’s body, mind and soul approach was all the reward I needed to commit fully to the entire programme. 4 months on, and the programme is now my everyday baseline. I feel and look so much better and have even lost 2 stone as a happy bonus. Thank you for changing my life Vanessa” – Bryony O’Niel “This journey has been incredibly meaningful for me. It’s helped me reflect on how far I’ve come and recognise that, even though I’m still in the process, there’s now a real sense of light at the end of the tunnel. For the first time in a long while, I feel relief. A deep knowing that things are working. Through working with Vanessa, I’ve developed a much better understanding of my body and how to truly listen to what it needs. The education has been invaluable. It hasn’t just been about being told what to do, but about understanding why things affect the body the way they do. That knowledge feels empowering and something I’ll carry with me long term. What’s surprised me most is how much change has shown up in subtle, everyday ways. This hasn’t been a quick fix, but a gentle unwinding of decades of habits and conditioning around food and self-care. I’ve learned to appreciate the small wins. My skin has improved, my psoriasis has eased, and I no longer feel the shame or discomfort I once did in my own body. These changes may seem small, but for me they’ve been life-changing. I’ve come to accept that this is a way of life now, not a temporary solution, and that feels grounding rather than restrictive. I feel positive, hopeful, and genuinely grateful. Vanessa has supported me with so much care, patience, and depth of knowledge. Her understanding of the body, food, and healing is incredible, and I’ve felt truly held throughout this process. I’m deeply thankful for her guidance and for walking this journey alongside me.” – Rachel Tanner
“I came to Vanessa originally to help shrink my fibroids. They shrunk from the size of oranges to not being able to feel them when I was on her inner rewilding programme. A second time I worked with her was when I had picked up a nasty parasite in India and had no choice but to go on aggressive medication to kill yhem. Vanessa put me on a protocol to re-grow my gut microbiome. It’s taken a few months but I now feel stronger and healthier than ever. Working with Vanessa has quite literally changed my life. Not only do I feel healthier than ever, my relationship with food is healthier than it’s ever been. The journey has shown me so much more than just how I can nourish myself. It’s brought me into a deeper relationship with myself in every way. The fact she ties in her deep work with compassionate inquiry and her own journey with health, I felt like I was being supported every step of the way. Don’t even get me started on her recipes.” – Amie Evans
“Working with Vanessa for almost a year has been enlightening in so many ways. I started working with her from a nutritional perspective and then expanded into Compassionate Inquiry – to have her incredible wisdom guiding me through such an uncertain point in life where my hormonal health really suffered has been so incredibly invaluable. Vanessa has such a kind, supportive and open approach that makes you feel so comfortable under her wing. I feel very lucky to have found her and to be able to learn from her whilst healing along the way.“ – Ruth Flanagan
“Vanessa has changed my life completely – she’s given me my life back to be honest!! Her inner rewinding program took my own a journey that taught me so much about myself, nutrition and how my body and mind react. Her nurturing accompaniment throughout made me feel supported and informed the whole way. Not only has it healed what I was going through, and showed me how to unlock the strength and capacities that I already had, but it’s also taught me how to keep it up on my own for life. I feel equipped enough to navigate my days and months more intuitively, healthily and kindly. I am now able to participate in presence in my life, and take on all the things I could only dream of before! Vanessa’s knowledge is incredible, and her caring approach is everything when you’re in a time of need. Working with her is a reset and education everyone should receive! The GREATEST investment into my health and longevity I have ever made.” – Olympia Jones
“When I met Vanessa, I was running on stimulation, antidepressants, coffee, nicotine, and sugar and felt disconnected from my body. Working with her completely changed that. Vanessa’s deep understanding of the nervous system, grounded in science and delivered with compassion, helped me gently reset. Over six months, I removed one vice at a time and learned to truly listen to my body. Her Inner Rewilding Programme has been profound. I feel calmer, clearer, and more in tune with my sensitivities than ever before. Vanessa is an exceptional listener, incredibly knowledgeable, and deeply supportive. I genuinely believe everyone could benefit from working with her.“ Phil Caddow
“Working with Vanessa has been deeply insightful. She helped me understand that my body has a slower detox pathway and that my liver needs specific nutritional and supplement support for healthy function. While I’m still on the path to recovery, I trust her guidance. Her intelligence is paired with lived experience and a broader, systems-level and spiritual understanding, which makes her support feel both grounded and genuinely attuned.“ Gen Deely
“I learned so much about my gut health and about myself in general, and I found the whole process genuinely fascinating and educational. The knowledge and understanding I gained are things I know I’ll carry with me long term. I’m deeply grateful for the support throughout. This work has given me lasting insight and a deeper connection to my body.“ – Szilvi
“Vanessa led me though her inner rewilding protocol. The course was well structured and Vanessa’s own recipes where easy to follow and so nourishing and exciting to eat. Especially the berry smoothie! Vanessa is a wonderful, generous guide. She encourages you to listen to your own body and inner wisdom thoughout the course thus helping you to re connect with your body, mind and spirit and the body’s natural rhythm. Vanessa’s whole approach is nourishing and nurturing. You feel at ease and her extensive subject knowledge and wisdom not only guides you but teaches you along the way, leaving you with your own tools for looking after your body’s health. Vanessa is a beautiful soul, her compassion and love shines through each session – I feel very lucky and grateful that I got to work and learn with her.” Jenna Roberts
“Working with Vanessa on her Inner Rewilding journey was a gamechanger for me. It prompted a total reconnection to myself, a renewed focus on my health and reminded me of the power I have to influence how I feel every day. I had never done a broth fast before and felt a little nervous beforehand. Yet I now look back at that first, very ceremonial, day with such longing and gratitude! It was just the beginning of what would become an extraordinary few weeks – the very best investment in my health. Vanessa holds space so beautifully for everything that arises during the subsequent weeks/months. The accountability, her deep wisdom and a programme that left me feeling VITALITY in a way I’ve never experienced before. If you need a shift, a re-evaluation, a reconnection to you I can’t recommend this enough.” Jess Rad
“I’ve been guided by Vanessa since more then 10 years now. I asked for her help whenever I notice I’m confused or feel a bit lost wether it is nutrition/health/spiritual/emotional or mental. On every journey we undertake together i feel supported/see /heard known every single time. I changed/evolved/transformed, I learned so many practical down from Earth tools and practices as well as to listen to my own intuition better. We smile a lot! I absolutely love love love working with her. The ‘programs’ are so well ressourced and match what I need everytime. As Well as working individualy is so meaningfull . I feel expanded, more grounded and elevated at the same time. Just to Connect and figure out together what’s going on, what’s needed what works is allready so precious and worth every bit of time effort and investment every single time! I come back not just to learn and heal but to grow and move and be moved. If I could recommend one person to anyone who’s on ‘a healing’ journey it would be her. I would love to see her lead entire community’s but as long as she is working one on one please give yourself the gift of beeing guided by her! It’s holistic on a whole new level not ‘just’ body and mind but also on an emotional and spiritual level with your soul and the universe included. And you’ll have fun while at it. I promise.“ Tina Heylan “Working with Vanessa helped me optimise my nutrition around training and recovery. My performance improved, but just as importantly, I feel healthier and more resilient overall. What stood out most for me was Vanessa’s attention to detail. She connected the dots between nutrition, stress, sleep, and performance in a way no one had done for me before. This wasn’t a quick fix, Vanessa helped me achieve a complete mindset shift, giving me tools I’ll use for life.“ –Adam Filby
“Working with Vanessa has been incredibly healing. I’ve experienced so many benefits, including increased energy, mental clarity, and a clear, calm mind. I feel more balanced in my body and emotions, my achy joints have disappeared, fatigue is gone, and my digestion feels steady and supported. Beyond the physical changes, Vanessa has also supported me through big life transitions using Compassionate Inquiry, including relocating and rebuilding my confidence and sense of self-worth. Overall, I feel grounded, balanced, and genuinely happy.” Joanna Bale ”I worked over 8 weeks with Vanessas Inner Rewilding programme. Her programme is top notch! I lost quite a bit of weight in around 4 weeks and cleared my brain fog too.. I love the fact that this isn’t just a one off reset and taught me how to eat well sustainably She is a kind and encouraging soul and it felt like she was always with me during the journey. ” Neal Shail “I don’t think it would be too much to say th Inner Rewilding Journey has been life-changing for me! Very well-constructed, detailed and tailored journey broken down in a thoughtful and supportive way. I learned so much more than I had anticipated was even possible in a relatively short time and have come out the other side feeling not only refreshed and revived in the immediate-term, but also the huge relief of a whole new set of tools to carry me through whatever comes my way going forward. I’ve become a total evangelist for this and would massively recommend it to anyone considering exploring gut health.” Jen Kell “It’s been such an amazing experience, I would say life changing. The level of support you offer is incredible & made me feel really comfortable & confident throughout and beyond the process. It’s been a few weeks since I completed the program, and I’m still having my daily adrenal cocktail & always looking at the recipes. My food habits have completely changed, I’m sleeping like a baby, I feel grounded, clear headed & never in my life have I felt so calm with barely any anxiety. It’s been a total game changer.” Justine Speller “When I started working with Vanessa, I was struggling with very high calprotectin levels, which reflected ongoing inflammation in my gut. I had tried various approaches before, but nothing had brought lasting change. Through completing the Inner Rewilding journey, and the way Vanessa works with nutrition, lifestyle, and the nervous system, I saw a huge shift. My calprotectin levels dropped to around 50, which felt incredible and honestly quite amazing to see. Beyond the numbers, I felt a real change in my body and overall wellbeing. The process helped me understand my gut and my health in a much deeper way, and the improvements felt sustainable rather than like a short-term fix. I’m incredibly grateful for the support and guidance throughout the journey and for how holistic and thoughtful the whole process has been.” -KD
“The Inner Rewilding journey had depths of information shared by Vanessa during our 1-1 calls and through the protocol booklets. Vanessa gently guided me through her inner-rewilding process as it was my 1st ever fast and I felt safe to share my health and wellbeing history which allowed me to get the most out of the experience. For the full 4 weeks, I felt great, with much more energy and a clearer mind. I would love to do it all over again! And would wholeheartedly recommend the wonderful Vanessa to anyone after an holistic and nurturing approach to their gut healing journey” –Stephanie C
“The whole experience was completely tailored to my exact needs, and I never felt like I was asking too much if I had a question. Vanessa was always on hand to point me in the right direction with an abundance of friendliness. The journey is certainly not easy transitioning away from everyday habits and comforts, but my experience with Vanessa was just amazing.” -Marie Constable
“Incredibly positive. Vanessa took me through her protocol in such a loving and holding way. After having a health scare, I really needed holding in a safe container and I found that here. I actually felt the best I had felt in years from doing the protocol. I felt so heard and seen and my energy levels felt really good again. Vanessa was so good at letting me go at the pace I needed as well as encouraging me to keep going when there were moments of challenge.“ -Layla May
“I feel connected, alive and clear. I feel so deeply greatful to Vanessa for this journey as I couldnt have asked for something more held , inspiring and easy to do considering the deep changes it brings. I honestly feel everyone should do this . Life making.” -Danu Wolf
“Since visiting the doctor and being diagnosed with stress and hold to take time off work to rest, experiencing palpitations, brain fog, hypoglycaemia, weight gain, bloating and puffiness, joint pain, constant need for food and low mood to feeling so completely FREE! All my symptoms disappeared.. I now have the tools and knowledge to continue a healthier life and how to maintain that balance. It has changed my life so much and so much happier for it! “Utterly life changing experience. The best money I’ve ever spent on my health! Looking forward to working with Vanessa again, Thank you Vanessa” -Nicola Martinez
I cannot recommend the inner rewilding programme highly enough, I have suffered from terrible psoriasis for years now. Finally I have adopted new eating habits and learnt so much about supporting the gut and the immune system. My symptoms have taken a dramatic u-turn and I am now adopting the changes for life. Vanessa is fantastic and will support you all the way. It was not only informative, but also well-structured and surprisingly easy to implement into my daily routine.

“I admit I came to the programme slightly skeptical thinking it would be just another diet, but meeting with Vanessa from the beginning made me feel immediately reassured! The programme is so well thought out, with so much support from Vanessa from recipes and crash courses on digestion with room for change and creative adaptations to one’s personal needs and lifestyle. I have learned so much and not only discovered new healthy ways of eating, but created healthy habits, and most importantly have significantly reduced my usual migraines to zero thus far. Thank you so much, Vanessa!!” – Irina Nedelcu
“When I started the gut health programme I was only able to digest a very limited variety of food due to food intolerances. Thanks to Vanessa’s support my gut is healing and I am able to add more and more food groups to my diet again. I have never felt healthier! I am so happy now” – Anne A
“It’s honestly been life changing, I can’t thank you enough. I rarely look inwards and allow myself to prioritise my needs, and doing this has been the biggest reminder that I deserve to treat myself with care and kindness. People keep telling me how well I look. It’s incredible really, because it’s not even been a month. I’m so excited to see how I feel in a year, 5, 10, and more!”

Living the experience of food as medicine and having such a shift in consciousness from deep nutrition is a chain breaking experience. Looking forward to a gentle evolving future “
