    My sessions with Vanessa are an important source of healing after experiencing great loss. Much of the work that we do centres around anger and grief. With compassion and honesty she builds an environment that fosters intentional engagement with terribly challenging emotions and experiences. Our sessions are structured yet spontaneous. Vanessa helps me not turn away from hard memories and feelings; instead, we work to transform them into sources of vitality. (Chris, Individual IBP Sessions)
