simple, science-backed health education and behavior strategies to promote health and longevity
Hi, I'm Vanessa! Founder of Vitality with Vanessa
In a traditional sense, vitality is the state of being strong and active.
By my definition, vitality is becoming more mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually resilient -- on your terms -- to promote health and longevity.
My mission: to provide simple, science-backed health education and behavior strategies that promote mindful health changes. I'll meet you where you're at, harness your strengths, and support you in taking one intentional step at a time - building integrative habits meant to last.
✔️ Feeling stretched to the max: you know what you need to do, but there are too many things to juggle so your health gets pushed aside?
✔️ Consistently inconsistent: you want consistency but traditional suggestions for building routine haven't worked
✔️ Are overloaded with information: your algorithm tells you what you “should do” for your health and now you have decision paralysis?
✔️ Struggling to prioritize: everything feels important and you dedicate your time to the interests of others, but maybe not yourself?
✔️ Lacking confidence: life's beat you down a few times and you're just not sure if you have what it takes to make the changes you want (or need) to make?
✔️ Feeling out of control: does a moment of impulsive thinking put your goals on the back-burner before you realized the choice you made?
Using a holistic approach, we take stock of all aspects of your life - from joy to stress, nutrition to community, and everything in between.
Together, we'll
✔️ establish a clear area of health to focus on and take a deep dive into things you've tried in the past
✔️ work together to get baseline data of current health behaviors and use this as a jumping point to create a clear vision
✔️ zoom into a small part of that vision to create your goals that are clear, descriptive, and achievable.
✔️ review progress, and with compassionate support, adjust and add goals throughout the process
There is a reason "slow and steady wins the race" is a common saying. With my approach, you'll begin to notice that gradual, consistent, and focused changes are what will make this process successful. You'll be met with active listening, compassion, and gentle but firm nudges that work for you. With sessions that are more like easy-flowing conversation, you'll leave each meeting feeling energized and empowered by realizing your strengths and applying new knowledge that works for YOU.
Real change takes time - an investment that's worth it.

"I honestly wasn't sure what to expect as I was preparing for my first meeting with a wellness coach. I was pleasantly surprised ..Vanessa is super easy to talk to, she REALLY listens to what you are saying, and she is full of practical advice. I am new to a gluten-free, dairy-free, and low-sugar eating plan and what resonates with me most is that Vanessa is able to help me navigate this new lifestyle without making me feel overwhelmed. We work together to set weekly manageable goals that work for me and she is there to support me throughout the process. She keeps me focused and asks thought provoking questions during our sessions and I feel as though I am working to balance all areas of my well being. I look forward to continuing my health journey with Vanessa!"

"My experience with Vanessa as my Health Coach was very inspirational and motivating. It was an education on healthy living that inspired me to make lifestyle changes in my diet and workouts. She challenged me to achieve my goals for healthy living and the tools to sustain it for life by choosing to do so daily. To this day I continue to see results using the tools she gave me."

"I met with Vanessa because I was struggling to sleep at night. We took a close look at what my day-to-day looked like and Vanessa supported me to notice that I could restructure my schedule in a way that was more conducive to my energy peaks. She encouraged me to set boundaries I didn't realize I needed. It was like the flip of a switch - once I put those things in place, I found myself consistently sleeping 8 hours and feeling more energized than I have felt in years."
