EVERYONE wants to feel happy, healthy, inspired and connected. Passionate about food and well-being, and with values rooted deep in Mediterranean culture, Vanessa believes that, with a little help, we all hold in our hands the key to unlocking our own perfect health and happiness. Her journey started with a career in the corporate world - with all its highs and lows, its long hours, long flights and endless client meetings. After nearly 15 years, she yearned for something more and, as luck would have it, a serendipitous twist of fate soon found her facing a crossroad. She decided to take the path-less-traveled and embarked on a unique, 11 month, 40,000 mile circumnavigation of our beautiful planet - by sea. A time of deep introspection and re-connection with mother-nature (coupled with the looming threat of her next hurricane) saw Vanessa come back to land changed and looking onward to a new horizon. Combining her intimate understanding of our modern lifestyle, with her existing love of yoga, meditation, and deep studies in the foothills of the Himalayas, Vanessa formally retrained at the Ayurveda Pura Academy in Greenwich and is now offering blissful treatments at Samsara Mind & Body. Her approach is one of connection and guidance, to help you slowly unveil your own unique self - seeped in warmth, bathed in natural beauty, quietly inspiring and deeply transformative.
