About Vanessa

Coach and Yoga teacher for beginners and intermediate levels, I am certified by the Yoga Alliance organisation.
I also am an artist, a qualified art-therapist and healer, mother of 2, passionate about nature, travels and discoveries.

Born from a Swedish mother and a Lebanese father, I grew up in the United Arab Emirates before moving to France (Paris, Lyon) and arrived in Geneva in 2003.

My Yoga path started in 2004 and it really changed my life. After health issues, I started to learn to breathe properly, changed my diet and regularly practiced Yoga. Those changes enabled me to deal with the stress of a high international management position, chronic pain from an immune disease and finally regain my health. Yoga also helped me through my 2 pregnancies.

Since then, I leverage on my various experiences and skills, on my intuition and sensitivity to accompany you as an individual,  focusing on your inner ressources.
