6-MONTH, 1:1 RECOGNITION WORK
The Art Of Being You
Are you waking up every day to a life that is not bad. And something, deep 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 IS THE ART OF BEING YOU
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
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.
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 from this place.
03
Nourishment
Our relationship with food is essentially the most intimate relationship we have with ourselves. We’ll use it to observe & ground.
04
Creation
Who you’re being reflects what you create and vice 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.
From my 1:1 coaching work
Hi, I’m Vanessa
I spent fifteen years working as a brand 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 heart’s curiosity & my mind’s need to ‘figure it out’… Two years at the International Macrobiotic School as a certified holistic Health Coach and Chef, quantum healing with Dr. Sue Morter, Breathwork with Juan Pablo Barahona, plant-medicine work in Peru… and many other short programs and trainings.
Until I found my way to BodyMind Maturation training led by Nicky Clinch. Which, amongst many other things, helped me recognize that life is a moment-by-moment creation, rather than a place to get to. And that the context of who is looking gives us the whole world we are creating.
I completed the training in October 2026, and I’m hugely grateful & excited to share what it’s given me.
The Art Of Being You 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’s BodyMind and sharing their essence from the inside out.
Remember
who you areWhen the mind gets a little more quiet,
When we connect to the purity of our heart,
The eternity of this universe,
There is an essence that becomes available.
It’s neither you, nor not you.
It simply is the uniqueness that moves through.
We can’t hold on to it, yet it’s always here.
And from this place a whole different way of life becomes possible.
The life beyond mind,
the life where we get to be truly ourselves,
while being one with everyone.

People have asked...-
This work is very deeply related to the experience, not to knowing. We all know a lot about ourselves through different types of inner work - but being able to be with the experiences and our mind creating them is the difference.
-
No. I am not a therapist and this is not clinical work. If you are in acute mental-health crisis or working through trauma that needs clinical holding, I will refer you to someone who holds that work.
-
That is often what the sessions are for. They will trigger you and that means means something is being revealed and working.
If something comes up that needs clinical support rather than recognition work, I will say so and help you find it. -
The First-Session Fit Guarantee is designed for this. You book one 90-minute first session as part of the container. If either of us feels it is not the fit by the end of that session, you get a full refund.
-
I live in Canggu, Bali (UTC+8). Sessions are 1:1 online. The WhatsApp hour-blocks are set during your intake, so we find windows that work for both of us. 100%
-
Book an Opening Conversation anyway. We will talk about timing honestly. If the right move is to wait, you’ll know.
-
Our relationship with money is deeply related with how we nourish ourselves and how we were nourished by our mama. I invite you to tune in what’s here for you right now. If you still feel the call to have an opening conversation, book it and we will get clear on this.
