About
Vanessa is a psychedelic medicine facilitator and energy healer working at the intersection of feminine wisdom, ritual, and folklore.
Vanessa's creation story is a unique one. She was willed 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.
Her last name can be interpreted as "half-eye," fitting for someone with a lifelong tenacity to traverse the lands of the seen and unseen.
Energy Healing
An introductory course into energy healing. For those who want to understand their own healing capacity. Developing intuition, tracking skills, pacing sessions, and the discipline of getting out of the way.
Each session is three hours — rarely needed in full, but always held in reserve, because the body decides its own pace, not the clock.
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.
Every session begins the same way: presence first, technique second.
