I provide life coaching services to adults and teenagers. I completed the InnerLifeSkills Coaching Course in 2012 and have been offering coaching services since then. When I work with teenagers, I also draw on 25 years of experience as a teacher.

My approach to soul-centred life coaching recognizes that truly transformative inner work can be lonely and often feels painful. Thus, I offer guidance, companionship, and a safe-space to engage in deep, soul-centred dialogue. My sessions are unique to each person, acknowledging that sometimes we feel clear and certain about the way forward, while at other times we feel confused, hopeless, and broken-hearted.

Soul-centred life coaching sees times of transition or crisis as a ‘path’ to wholeness, and as opportunities to connect to your essence. My sessions aim to help you to find love and compassion for yourself as you truly are, not as the world or others want you to be. In my experience, when we focus our attention on these soul-centred issues, the ensuing shifts bring meaningful and lasting solutions to the ‘problems’ we are experiencing.

Testimonials

Venessa is a godsend. My experience with her has been unmatched; I have learnt how to love, forgive, and trust myself. I look forward to continuing my sessions with her as I embark on a new phase of life. I couldn't have asked for, or found, a better coach!

Before I began engagement with Venessa, I went through life repeating mistakes and being caught up in similar cycles of self-destructiveness and dysfunctional relationships. The inner work I was exposed to by her was hard and painful, but also deeply rewarding. I now have a set of tools to use when needed; I recognize that the work doesn’t stop. My wish (hope) would be that every young person has a Venessa in their lives. I’m so grateful for this wonderful opportunity to work with her.

Having my astrological chart read by Venessa was such an enlightening experience. She explained everything to me with devoted passion and patience. The experience has helped me to understand the universal path I am on, as well as the choices I made to become who and what I am today.

- Adena

My session with Venessa was life-changing. I was very impressed by the amount of time and effort she invested in preparation before our session even started. The depth of her knowledge and understanding of my chart, as well as the intelligent deductions she provided from that understanding, enabled me to connect and link different aspects/areas of my life in ways I had never been able to do previously. This then led to a deep, two-way clarification of these aspects, which included my spiritual path, career decisions, childhood history, relationships, future endeavors and even real estate issues. This provided holistic clarity and understanding of the ‘why’, the ‘what’, the ‘when’. and the ‘who’ of my life, the everyday questions with which we all struggle. Important, however, were also the follow-up sessions to expand and extend the resultant enlightenment experienced, which helped to create and embed a more peaceful treading of this fragile and often uncertain life path of mine.

- Niné

My Sessions with Venessa were beneficial to me starting on my ongoing journey of personal growth, self-awareness, and self-love. Venessa’s calm presence and attentive manner never fail to put me at ease and open myself up to explore my life and reflect on my experience beyond my comfort zone. I love that Venessa has been available for regular and intermittent sessions as I have needed them. Even when things are tough, I leave these sessions feeling enlightened and supported. Venessa knows what tools to give me and guides me towards paths I’ve been able to explore on my own.
