About Vanessa
I have been in clinical practice as a Certified Nurse Midwife for over 2 decades, providing care to women of all ages. When I hit perimenopause, even I felt confused and had a hard time getting help for my hot flashes, mood changes, and weight gain. Educating myself and finding solutions inspired me to become a Menopause Society Certified Provider.
I discovered life coaching in 2018 when I was going through both perimenopause and major transitions in my job and relationship. I was soon amazed at how being coached and learning self-coaching tools changed my perspective and expanded what I thought was possible. I have coached thousands of women through labor & birth, and now I love coaching women through the menopause transition to feel seen, supported, & empowered in this phase of life.
Midlife is a powerful time for personal growth. While there is much we cannot control, we have more control than we imagine. When we embrace where we are and have the information we need, we can better our health and well-being today and for the rest of our lives.
I am also an avid yoga practitioner and teacher and enjoy hiking, paddleboarding, pickleball, and karaoke. I am grateful to be a mom to two amazing teenagers & one precious pup who teach me something new every day.
