Hi, I’m Vanessa!

Vanessa Schellenberg bio
 

Honoured that you’re here learning a bit about me today.

I’m a Certified Transformational Life Strategist + thriving married mother of 4 beautiful children. Each day, I have the privilege of working with best fit clients to help them achieve their deepest desires and biggest dreams.

Can I tell you a secret?

I haven’t always lived a life of abundance, balance or happiness. Until the age of 26, most of my life had been coloured by depression.

At 26 years old, I spent my days in a blur of fast food, TV, fights with my boyfriend, complaining and deep sadness. I lashed out in anger at everyone around me, including my 5 year old daughter. She would scream when I tried to put her to bed, she couldn’t concentrate in school and she spent all her waking hours watching movies in her bedroom by herself.

At 26 years old, I realized I was stuck — completely and utterly paralyzed by fear. I knew I wanted to truly love my life. To do so, I had to make a change. Many changes, actually.

I knew my relationship with my boyfriend was dysfunctional, so I broke up with him.

After that, it hit me: my situation was dire.

At 26 years old, I was facing bankruptcy. I was $100,000 in debt — mortgage not included.

I was 50 pounds overweight.

I had depression (finally admitted it) and went on antidepressants.

My daughter started taking medications for her ADHD.

I was broken emotionally, mentally, spiritually, financially and physically.

Then, it happened. My intuition kicked in and I cried out to the Creator for help. For the first time in my life, I listened. And you know what? The universe guided me.

Fast forward 3 years. The $100,000 debt is gone. I don’t suffer from depression anymore. My daughter no longer suffers from ADHD. I’ve lost 40 pounds and kept it off. I’m happily married to my amazing husband Elliott and including our kids we’re now a beautiful blended family of 6.

In 2014, we retired my husband, who’s now the primary caregiver for our children. In 2018 I left my full time job as a Registered Nurse at the hospital to be there for my clients full-time.

To date, I’ve helped over 50 women achieve their deepest desires and biggest dreams — mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically. It would be an honour to do the same for you.

In such a short time, so much of my life has been transformed thanks to Vanessa’s coaching. It’s amazing! Working with Vanessa has brought me clarity where I was otherwise feeling scattered and stuck. This includes personal and business. I would recommend Vanessa’s coaching program to anyone seeking real joy in their life. Life is too short to be second-guessing where you’re supposed to be, and it’s also too short to drag out your dreams over months or years. Working with Vanessa gets you results much faster than you could accomplish on your own. You will be so thankful you started.

Here is just a very short list of transformations I saw within three months:
- I’m able to prioritize according to my newly learned values
- I’m able to deal better with stress
- My cravings for junkfood stopped.
- I’m living according to joy rules rather than should’s.

Thank you!
