In Times of Constant Change and Disruption,
Your Competitive Advantage is a Regulated Nervous System.
When people can't access their highest-level performance because they're stuck in survival mode, organizations lose innovation, connection, and the very creativity that drives results.
Here's the truth most organizations miss: Your best people aren't underperforming because they're lazy or disengaged. They're simply dysregulated.
Until you address this at the nervous system level, no amount of strategy, self care or team-building will move the needle.
I teach high-achieving professionals and their organizations to understand their nervous systems, implement practical regulation tools, and move from reactive survival patterns to grounded, sustainable performance.

About Vanessa
Vanessa helps audiences unlock their next level of performance—without running on empty.
Your talented people are delivering results, but at a cost you can see: exhaustion, disconnection, and the quiet turnover of your best performers. Vanessa shows organizations how to get both: exceptional performance AND people who can sustain it.
With a Master's in Social Work specializing in Trauma-Informed Care, Vanessa serves as an Instructor at MindBodyGreen Institute and brings neuroscience-backed tools to address the human reality driving your business challenges. Her approach gives organizations permission to acknowledge what most avoid: your people are exhausted, and no amount of productivity training will fix what's actually a nervous system problem.
Her signature keynotes help talented people reconnect to themselves so they can show up with greater clarity, energy, and capacity. When people feel better, they perform better. And when they understand why, the change actually sticks.
