About Me

For over 15 years, I’ve been a professional Healer and Mentor. I’ve seen hundreds of clients present with stress and stuck-ness. And have experienced the awe-inspiring wonder of witnessing them overcome obstacles to manifest their goals.

I specialize in Transformation because I’ve been there.

About Vanessa Scotto

As a young woman I experienced large amounts of self-doubt, worry, and emotional overload. I was often exhausted, disconnected, and tying myself up in knots fretting over what others felt about me or fearing I was not good enough. 

Fortunately, I recognized that it was my own beliefs and habits that were keeping me stuck and unsatisfied. Therefore I launched into studying and learning all that I could to help me find a sense of inner ease; from Eastern Philosophy to Western Psychology, Massage to Acupuncture, Journaling to Meditating. I learned powerful skills that helped me feel more connected, self-loving, confident, and purposeful.

My years of personal and professional experiences have taught me 4 foundational truths:

  1. We are often the ones standing in our own ways from experiencing more joy, meaning and connection.
  2. CORE change is hard, but it’s worth it. “Settling for less” is chronically painful; depleting energy, and self-value. Conversely, moving through stuck-ness engenders confidence, vitality and passion for life.
  3. You can take yourself too seriously. Lightness, and laughter not only make the process more enjoyable they feed your motivational fire!
  4. With the proper guidance, attitude, and effort we can transform in amazing, inspiring ways. 
Now, I’m on a mission to REIGNITE your fire. Together, we’ll find the right recipe for you to maximize your own inner brilliance and your passionate love affair with life.
 

“I have Gratitude for Vanessa Scotto. All my life I thought I knew everything- my intuitions saved me from many run-ins in my life prior.  But what I love about myself now at 39 is that I don’t know it all and sometimes you need someone like Vanessa to help you dissect things to see them in a different light. Or just to have her listen to you so you hear yourself and the AHA moments happen. Vanessa and I really spoke about forgiveness and fears. This weekend I did exactly what she asked me to and it has been like almost 10 years lifted from my body. I am floating again. The last times I felt so alive were: each time I gave birth to my four beautiful children, when I rode on a motorcycle a little too fast, and when I went sky diving and everytime I jumped I thought to myself “what am I doing? This is scary, this is nuts!?” The truth is it’s the same feeling I had when I tried to forgive. I thought to myself ” No way what am I doing? This is scary, this is nuts?!” But I have forgiven and let go and I am sky diving in the life of forgiveness and guess what? My shoot is open and I am landing just fine….thanks Vanessa!” -Lisa, NC

“In our work together over three short months, I have had subtle yet powerful life shifts and mind blowing ‘aha’ moments that I have never experienced before.” – Jeanne, NY

“It’s been said that a true leader empowers more leadership, as opposed to collecting followers. Vanessa’s compassionate, empathic approach to transformation has encouraged me to live by my truest vision, to give up self-doubting behaviors and access my inner spark! Vanessa has nurtured my being, my truest self, allowing me to reach beyond my resistance to evolution. It’s an empowering experience to feel the guidance and mentorship of one who can meet you where you are at, and encourage growth, bringing you up to where you can be, and beyond!” – Esther, WA

My Credentials

I always knew I wanted to make a difference. In 1996 I decided to pursue my passion for mind-body healing by attending graduate school for Traditional Chinese Medicine. Upon completion, I lived my dream of opening a holistic healthcare center in Brooklyn, NY; where I gained experience helping hundreds of people in achieving vibrancy and health with Chinese Medicine.

After years in practice it crystallized for me that many ailments were actually rooted in stress and unhappiness. I could heal the complaint presented but over time people just returned with different stress related symptoms. This recognition led me to become trained in the art of Life Coaching. I loved working with clients on how to identify and achieve their goals, yet I again witnessed that success did not necessarily increase my clients’ sense of ease, self-love, or personal satisfaction.

Therefore, in 2007, I returned to graduate school to obtain my Masters in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology with the goal of expanding my ability to facilitate people towards greater states of wholeness, joy, and self-actualization.

Today, I am a Muse, Mentor, and Teacher. I use the experiences, wisdom, and tools I’ve gathered over 15 years to guide people in creating lives they love. 

“Vanessa showed me tools to help me quiet my mind, and get clarity on the right answer for me. As a coach, Vanessa was the perfect combination of strength and wisdom.” – Inna, NY

“If you want to access deeper levels of joy, well-being and inspired living Vanessa is the person to help you. Call her today!” – Stephanie, NV

“The breakthroughs that I have had with Vanessa are powerful and life changing. Daily, on my own now, I use what I have learned through coaching with Vanessa to get myself back on track and not waste time running in circles.” – Marguerite, WA
