I'm Vanessa McNeal

your guide to inner alignment and authentic well-being.

I motivate high-achieving professionals who feel stuck or unfulfilled return to their truest selves and uncover trauma, limiting beliefs and patterns holding them back from reaching the next level. We don’t do surface-level around here. We go deep with science-backed techniques that give you the tools to thrive authentically in your life and career. 

Vanessa received a Bachelor's in Child Adult and Family Services and a Master’s in Social Work with a specialization in Trauma Informed Care from the University of Northern Iowa. She is a certified Elite Life Coach. In 2024, she was accepted into the acclaimed Goldman Sachs One Million Black Women: Black in Business program.

"The path to authenticity isn't about becoming someone new - it's about unbecoming everything that isn't really you. That's what this work is about."

-Vanessa McNeal

my approach

how can I help

I am all about honesty and transparency in all interactions. I create judgment-free zones and meet clients where they are. Instead of rushing toward a quick-fix solution, I focus on deep, lasting transformation that positively affects your life and well-being

You know the saying: If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. Let me help you interrupt patterns that no longer serve you and identify the root cause of your blocks. You deserve to have a life that feels just as authentic as it looks.

With a background in social work and trauma-informed coaching, I connect the dots between neuroscience and vulnerable storytelling, resulting in self-compassion, sustainable change, healing, and authentic success.

Whether you book a one-on-one coaching session or invite me to speak at your event, a new sense of purpose and direction awaits.
