A 6-MONTH, 1:1 RECOGNITION WORK, FOUNDING COHORT
Beyond Mind.
Are you waking up every day to a life that is not bad. And something, deeps inside feels quietly a little off?
Is this it?
The way through is not more mind-work. The way through is recognition of the water you have been swimming in.
IS THIS IT?
You have done the work. And yet, you are asking the question…
You have done the therapy and the coaching. The modalities and the retreats. The breathwork, the ceremonies, the plant-medicine weeks. Some of it worked. Enough to keep going.
And if you are honest, you still carry a quiet question underneath all of it. One you keep almost-forgetting-about and then meeting again, usually at night, usually alone.
Not is my life bad. Just: is this what I am here for? This loop? This almost-but-not-quite?
Four paths you have probably walked:
Achievement
Build the business. Hit the metric. It worked. You are objectively successful. And it still is not it.
Improvement
Years of therapy and personal-development work. You are honest, articulate, self-aware. And it still is not it.
Pleasure
The food, the wine, the parties, the drugs. The warmth is real for a few hours. And it still is not it.
Alternative
Ceremonies, plant medicine, Bali, retreats in Costa Rica. You had the breakthrough. You had three. And you still come back to the same quiet thing you cannot name.
WHAT ARE YOU ACTUALLY MEETING?
Recognition precedes choice. Until we can see the mechanicalness, we can’t choose beyond it.
The mechanicalness of the mind.
Not the mind's content. The mind itself.
The loops. The evaluating. The quiet background hum that says: if I just do one more course, one more teacher, one more retreat, this will land.
That hum is what has been running you under the surface of your own choice. The mind-made life. The water you have been swimming in without knowing it was water.
You, me and every single human being cannot think our way out of this.
The thinking is the thing.
WHAT BEYOND MIND IS
A 6-month recognition work
Twelve bi-weekly sessions over six months, 1:1 with me. The first is 90 minutes; the rest are 60. Between sessions, you have me on WhatsApp for three fixed hour-blocks a week, so what surfaces does not wait for the next calendar square.
Inside the container we work with four modalities. I call them The 4-Way Work. Not a curriculum you complete. A toolkit I draw from in response to what is alive in you that session.
The four pillars
02
Breathwork
Breath & movement practice unwinds the pattern at the body level so the mind has less to grip. These practices are helping to deepen the recognition of who you truly are and create form this place.
04
Creation
Who you’re being reflects what you create and visa versa.
We stay in that dance of co-creating with your life, moment by moment, bringing your true desires into the days you actually live. A new move. A partner. A book. More time for yourself.
03
Nourishment
Our relationship with food is essentially the most intimate relationship we have with ourselves. We’ll use it to observe & ground.
01
Recognition
Session by session you begin to see your own patterns and how they have been running your life. We move through regressions, inquiries, witnessing & honest conversation.
Hi, I’m Vanessa
I spent fifteen years working as a creative designer. Popchips, NBC Universal, babywell, Miami Ad School Top Dog. I was pretty good at it. And yet, I kept arriving at the same quiet question: is this it?
Once the question became so strong I couldn’t ignore it anymore, I started looking… I spent a decade following my hearts curiosity & my minds need to ‘figure it out’… Two years at the International Macrobiotic School as a certified Health Coach and Chef, quantum healing with Dr. Sue Morter, Breathwork with Juan Pablo Barahona, plant-medicine work in Peru..
Until I found my way to BodyMind Maturation training lead Nicky Clinch. Which amongst many thing helped me recognize how this is it is a moment by moment creation, rather than a place to get to.
I completed the training in October 2026, and I’m hugely grateful & exited to share what’s given me.
Beyond Mind is where fifteen years of seeing brands for who they are & helping them share that essence into the world meets seeing beyond the survival mechanisms of every single human bodymind and sharing their essence in this world.
