I came to Vanessa as I was struggling with having a healthy relationship with food and had no clue on how to properly nourish myself in my adulthood. She has been so understanding through this journey and has provided me with the confidence I needed to know I’m heading in the right direction. Could not recommend her more.

I worked with Vanessa for nearly two years and she made such a difference in my life! I started with her once I received my PMOS diagnosis and stayed with her through my trial of several different medications, until I found one that finally helped with my symptoms. While working through the medical side of things, Vanessa got me on the right track nutrition wise, I got my cycle back regularly largely through my work with her, before any medicine really made a difference. She is empathetic, genuine, a great listener, and always willing to look for a solution + pivot as life and circumstances change. Anything she does not know, she is honest about and willing to research or point you in the right direction. The only reason I stopped seeing Vanessa was because I moved to a different state. Otherwise, I would still be working with her!
