Hi, I'm Vanessa.

I guess you could say that astrology is one of my first great loves. I’ve been drawn to the stars for as long as I can remember. I still have a vivid memory of being ten years old and making a beeline in the bookstore for Sydney Omarr’s horoscope books. I was immediately hooked, and I’ve circled back to astrology ever since. 

There’s just something about the symbolic nature of the stars and planetary archetypes that speaks to me. They have this uncanny way of mirroring us back to ourselves and helping us to make sense of what we're going through.

Over the years, I soaked up every bit of information I could. The stars always gave me comfort and insight whenever my own life felt uncertain. I used them to better understand myself and the people I love, and to offer guidance to anyone who needed it. 

Eventually, I felt this deeper pull. I wanted to weave together my fascination with what makes us tick and my passion for helping others into something meaningful. So I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Boston University. But something was missing. The spiritual component that I feel is such an important part of the work was something that psychology alone couldn't reach. So I kept searching. 

Then a good ole midlife transit, my Uranus opposition, redirected me. That’s what led me to discover astrocoaching.

I trained formally in chart reading and transit interpretation at the Rebecca Gordon School of Astrology. Then I learned how to coach through the Positive Psychology program at Rise & Thrive Coaching Academy, where I graduated with an ICF Level 2 certification. I soon after earned my ICF ACC credential. 

My foundation in psychology - understanding how the mind works, how patterns form, and how we get stuck - now weaves seamlessly with the soul-level wisdom of astrology and coaching techniques to form a unique approach.

Nothing brings me more joy than watching someone have that “Aha!” moment where they wake up to their own power and magic, take the wheel of their life, and start living more fully and confidently. 

And that's what I'm here for, to help you find your way back home to yourself.

Because coming home isn't about becoming someone new. It's about rediscovering who you've always been, and becoming the best version of that person. 

I'd be honored to join you on that journey.
