I've done numerous circling and breathwork sessions with Vanessa over the past few years. I've engaged in many healing modalities in my life and circling and breathwork are maybe the two most powerful ones I've done. Circling was very powerful in helping me shine the light on deep emotional issues and make them less scary. I feel that the interactions with Vanessa were more human and organic compared to the therapy model where the therapist and patient roles are inherently separate. The breathwork in particular might be the most powerful practice I've ever done. When I started to get good at it, I found that I started to feel like my breathing was who I am. The deep hooks of the scary stuff in my subconscious started to loosen a bit. Vanessa has been really good at challenging me to deepen my breathing when my instinct is to continue the unhealthy shallow breaths I have used throughout my life. One interesting side effect of this has come from doing a breathwork practice that I learned from Vanessa on my own before interviewing for some lucrative jobs. I cannot say the breathwork was solely responsible for the multiple final interview/job offers that I received, but I can say with certainty that I felt a calmness and clarity in my thinking during the interviews instead of disjointed thoughts caused by nervousness which I sometimes experience in interview situations. I would strongly recommend anyone considering a healing practice to consider the work that Vanessa is doing.
