Transformational Containers

by nealshail

A deeper, more held space to explore your health and inner landscape, honouring both the physical body and the emotional layers beneath it. This container is for those ready to go beyond surface-level support, creating space to listen to your body and understand your symptoms within the context of your life and nervous system, while working at a slower, more supportive pace.

Within this container, we combine functional nutrition, lifestyle guidance, and where appropriate, functional testing, alongside deeper emotional and nervous system work. Sessions include Compassionate Inquiry, somatic parts-work, and transformational astrology, gently exploring emotional patterns, supporting regulation, and facilitating integrated inner shifts.

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!

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!

About Me

About Me

Hi, I’m Vanessa. I’m a Clinical Naturopath and Nutritional Therapist specialising in gut health, hormones, and nervous system health. My work takes a trauma-informed, somatic approach, supporting people reconnect with their bodies. I believe food and nutrition are powerful medicine, and that transformation happens when combined with creating safety in the body, gently softening old patterns, and supporting the body to return to balance.

Testimonials

"Just wanted to message you a huge thank you!! Tom's mood, confidence and overall being is buzzing right now and this is down to you and your work..."
-Lex

"My autistic daughter, with a complex medical history, suffered with food sensitivity, bloating and diarrhea. I felt overwhelmed and did not know where to start on her healing journey. Vanessa has taken me step-by-step, providing practical and emotional support, delicious and nutritious recipes and virtual cooking lessons. My daughter is on the road to recovery and it has been such a positive experience. Vanessa has helped me overcome hurdles and I know I would not have been successful on this journey without her supportive, gentle, expert guidance."
