I can confidently say that Vanessa’s expertise and dedication have had a significant positive impact on my life. As a result of the impact, I went from 324 glucose and twenty-five milliliters daily to off insulin in six weeks. Under Vanessa’s guidance, I have experienced remarkable changes in my health and lifestyle. Her expertise helped me make informed choices about my diet, incorporating nutritious foods that not only supported my weight loss goals but also improved my energy levels and overall vitality. Vanessa encouraged a positive mindset and provided constant motivation, which played a crucial role in my success. She also educated me on the importance of portion control, mindful eating, and making long-term sustainable changes, which has been instrumental in maintaining my progress. Beyond her professional knowledge, Vanessa has a remarkable ability to connect with her clients on a personal level. She has been constant source of support, offering encouragement, and celebrating every milestone achieved, no matter how small. Her unwavering belief in my ability to succeed has been empowering and has given me the confidence to continue my journey towards a healthier lifestyle.

Vanessa has been wonderful to work with. From the very beginning she has listened to my needs, asked questions, and made sure that the plan she put together was catered to me specifically, to help me heal and in a way that I would be successful. She's been encouraging, has made me accountable to my success, and with each step she explains what I need to do, what will be healed and the purpose of the plan. No GP or integrative medical staff have been as attentive and plan specific as she has. I'm feeling better than I have in years!

When I started working with Vanessa I was personally at an all time LOW mentally about my health & body. Not only did Vanessa make me feel heard, but she immediately went to work on a program that would put my focus back on my health & body.
The best part about her plan is that I feel empowered. It’s one thing to follow steps & go through the motions, but to change your mindset is hard. Vanessa created a way for me to change my mindset & create a habit of making healthy choices. These aren’t major changes, but they’re significant to my long term health & weight loss journey.
Now I am ready to continue my journey on a POSITIVE path that Vanessa helped pave the way for me. I couldn’t have asked for a better program & coach.
Personal Training
I offer personal training in person for those local to Nashville, and online for those around the world! I use assessments to establish a baseline and tailor exercise programming according to the client’s goals. You don’t have to wander around the gym wondering what to do anymore.

I enjoyed working with Vanessa as a client of her personal training business. I worked with Vanessa over a three month period. I highly recommend Vanessa as a skilled, responsible, kind and effective personal trainer. Vanessa was always on time and on point. Through her lessons, I graduated through a progressive routine which yielded helpful results. Vanessa facilitated, monitored and encouraged my progress each week. I found her sessions with strength training and overall fitness to be both educational and helpful. I believe Vanessa is a unique find, able to meet any client, at any fitness level and ensure personal exercise goals are achieved. 5 stars for Vanessa!

Working with you has been a game changer for me. I’ve worked out for years but only pushed myself to a certain point thinking that was good enough.
Since starting personal training, I have found myself doing things I never thought I could accomplish. I am lifting heavier weights and gaining strength every day. I’ve also learned so many new techniques that have made working out so much more rewarding.
The added benefits are not only physical but mental. I have more energy, mobility and confidence in myself on so many levels. I continue to life heavier weights and for the first in almost 24 years I am able to squat properly and bend my knees lower than I ever though after injuring both my knees slipping on ice in January 2000. For me it’s a miracle!

Vanessa was exactly what I was looking for, and I didn’t even know it! She learned about ME and my goals, so that she could appropriately prescribe the perfect exercises, weights, timing, even foods that would help me reach my goals. She even wanted to know what my physical therapy coach recommended for my weak left knee, so that she could reinforce what my knee required. I’ve had many physical trainers, male and female, over the years, in 5 states and 21 cities. She is the best and most productive I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with.

I connected with Vanessa through the Centennial Sportsplex and worked with her for one month before moving out of the state. I had never worked with a personal trainer before and was not familiar with weights or how to use exercise machines, but Vanessa made the introduction to these new skills a positive and fun experience! She was encouraging, enthusiastic, and receptive to my goals. Vanessa took the time to answer questions I had about an exercise or a machine, which improved my confidence in the gym. Exercising used to be a chore, but with Vanessa I looked forward to all our sessions, eager to become empowered in the gym. It can be difficult to know where to start in the gym – especially for a woman; having had discouraging experiences in the past, I was happy to see the difference when I started at a gym in my new state. After working with Vanessa, I knew I had gained confidence and strength and felt much less intimidated, even in a new gym. I was also able to build a basic routine with the skills I had learned from Vanessa. I wish I found her earlier before I moved! Any client is lucky to have her as a trainer, especially beginners in weights and strength training. With Vanessa, I acquired lifelong skills that I can employ at any gym and gained a friend.

My name is Katie, I was down about my weight and the way my body looked then I meet Vanessa and I feel like I'm more strong physically and mentally. Vanessa is a wonderful trainer, one of the best out of all the trainers I have had. I have not only gained muscle and felt stronger but I have learned so much from her. This includes about food, injuries, body weight, and what I want to work on. She is so kind and awesome, I never feel bad about myself or feel down because I can not do as much on a day where I'm just not feeling like myself. She pushed me to be better but also to stay safe. I thank her for coming into my life and helping me grow even more!
