Traversing the
realms of ecstasy.

About

A practice held in the body.

Vanessa is a facilitator and energy healer working at the intersection of feminine wisdom, ritual, and folklore.

Vanessa's creation story is a unique one. She was prayed into existence by a pioneering family who used cutting-edge fertility treatment in 1990s Australia — her mother wrote to a magazine, reaching out to a doctor to enrol her in the trial program. Part magic, part science: she credits her tenacity and zest for life to her origin.

The phonetics for her last name can be interpreted as "half-eye," appropriate for one with a lifelong resolve to traverse the lands of the seen and unseen.

Energy Healing

Sessions for what words can't reach.

Slow, attentive work, built from years of tracking bodies, journeying through the underworld and upperworld, and learning when to act and when simply to witness.

Each session is three hours — rarely needed in full, but always held in reserve, because the body decides its own pace, not the clock.

Every session begins the same way: presence first, technique second.

Seiðr

Drawing on powerful and concise oracle wisdom, integrating folklore and feminine magic, this living tradition is alive in our bones and we come together with circle, song, and drum to keep it alive.

Suitable to those familiar with shamanic journeying, trance states, and holding energetic boundaries.

Energy Healer Training

For those called to hold humans deeply.

A place to understand and recognise the power of the hands. Using breath and intention, we craft the tools we inherit and the tools we create, to remember the long internal work of becoming someone the body trusts to lead it somewhere unfamiliar.

Vanessa uses 'maps' lent to us in our folklore, to interpret the flight of the soul through seasons, cycles, moments of bliss, grief, and everything in between. Healing is not a far away concept, but a path we travel again and again, with conviction and company.
