What Clients Say
Real results from real people. Leaders, teams, individuals and families who've done the work — in their own words.
"Working with Vanessa was a completely different experience. Too often, I've come across coaches who were qualified on paper but lacked the depth, insight, and real-world experience to actually move the needle for me. Working with Vanessa was refreshing, honest, and genuinely transformative. Highly recommended — without hesitation."
I used to live with a busy mind and a lot of fear, often jumping straight to the worst-case scenario. It was hard to tell what was real and what was fear, and that made life feel heavy.
The Enneagram helped me see these patterns with real clarity. As a Type 6, one of the most powerful things I have learned is to stop and ask, is this fear real? That question has changed everything. With coaching alongside the Enneagram, I have felt truly supported. I now have practical tools, more peace in my daily life, and a deep understanding that I do not have to carry it all alone.
I often felt alone in how I experienced things, which left me feeling different and misunderstood. I am now able to make sense of the deeper patterns behind why I think, feel, and respond the way I do — with much more compassion.
I now feel less consumed by my inner world, more present to others, and better able to take clear action. Thank you, Vanessa, for helping me see myself with more clarity and compassion.
I tried many personality tests, but none of them gave me the practical insight that the Enneagram did. After the 90-minute assessment and three coaching sessions, I am aware of what I do under stress and, more importantly, what to do when I notice those patterns beginning.
As a Type 3, it made my stress patterns incredibly clear and showed me how to respond intentionally instead of running on autopilot. Thank you, Vanessa, for also helping me recognise my strengths and encouraging me to celebrate my wins with greater confidence, self-awareness, and clarity.
The Enneagram has transformed how our sales team works together. It has given us a shared language for stress, communication, and performance.
As a leader, I now see much more clearly where each person struggles under pressure and how to support them in a way that actually helps. We communicate faster, understand each other better, and take things far less personally. The whole team now uses the Enneagram language, and that has made us more connected, more effective, and genuinely more fun to be part of.
As the Momentum Team, we sometimes felt frustrated with each other on projects. The Enneagram gave us clarity on our different working styles and helped us turn those differences into strengths.
The results have been so valuable that we're now rolling out Enneagram coaching into other areas of our business.
Looking back, it seems so easy now — but before coaching, we were really struggling to communicate without cutting each other off mid-sentence. After just 4 sessions with Vanessa, we gained insights into the patterns we were projecting without even realizing it.
Understanding our own — and each other's — made all the difference. We still slip up sometimes, but now we catch it, laugh, and move on instead of letting it spiral. Coaching gave us a way to understand, not just react, and it's completely changed the way we connect. Psst... thank you for all the AI Prompt coaching too. Game changer.
Working with Vanessa was refreshing. I focused on what I truly want and need to take action, rather than the story I was telling myself. Her NLP-based tools helped me shift my thinking and rewire my responses.
I also learned the power of language — I think carefully before I speak now. For me, coaching offered a practical, action-focused approach that truly helped me face obstacles and make real change. Kindness is contagious.
As the Synergy Team, we often worked in our own lanes and it sometimes felt like we were pulling in different directions. Vanessa's Enneagram coaching gave us the tools to really understand how each of us communicates and makes decisions.
The sessions were fun and practical — we started seeing where miscommunication came from, and how to prevent it. Now, instead of clashing, we're collaborating with more trust and efficiency. It's been such a powerful shift.
Vanessa helped me think differently about the way I lead. With her guidance, I gained confidence, mastered tough conversations, and developed a practical leadership toolkit that I use every day.
I now lead with clarity, authority, and approachability — without ever falling into a "buddy-buddy" dynamic.
