I’m super excited to be running a FREE online Transformational Breathwork and Visioning event ‘RESET & RISE’ on Sunday 11th February (11am-1pm Bris, 12-2pm Melb/Syd).
As we welcome the new moon in Aquarius in a couple of weeks, it’s a potent time to come together in community, let go of anything that’s not serving and plant seeds for the year ahead.
You’ll be guided through:
✨ A Transformational Breathwork session supporting you to connect deeper with your body and heart, regulate your nervous system and release mental and emotional blocks which may be weighing you down.
✨An intuitive Visioning process to support you to connect with your highest self, and get crystal clear on your vision and action steps to bring it to life.
✨ A holistic approach to wellness; bringing all of the parts together ~ mind, body, soul ~ to ensure you’re living in your highest frequency.

I can’t wait to connect and create some magic together. ❤️
Most of us have been conditioned to not feel our emotions. To push them down, control them, numb out and suppress them. To wear a mask and not express them so as not to appear weak or “too emotional.”
The more we do this, the more this energy becomes trapped within the body and can manifest as stress, anxiety, depression, pain, illness or disease.
Emotions are simply energy-in-motion. They want to be expressed and moved through the body. To be witnessed, felt, held and released. They then lose their power over you.
When we’re given a safe space to feel, true healing can occur.
Breathwork is a powerful tool to assist in bringing unconscious emotions to the surface so they can be released, so you no longer need to carry that weight.
I feel honoured to be able to hold this space for others to guide them to let go of what’s no longer serving them and reconnect them with their heart. ❤️
If you’re interested in receiving support through a 1-1 or group breathwork session, feel free to reach out.

Your nervous system influences every aspect of your health and well-being.
It sends messages 🗣️ that tell your body to to breathe, move, speak and see; it regulates thoughts, feelings, memory, learning, our senses, sleep and digestion. It basically plays a role in everything you do!
When the body is under chronic stress, our nervous system can become dysregulated, activating the fight or flight response.
Being in our body may feel painful, uncomfortable, or even terrifying.
🚨 The body is not designed for this and long-term stress can lead to burnout, illness and disease.
For many, this time of year can be hectic, chaotic, and may bring up different stressors and emotions.
Rather than doing more, can you take time out for yourself and truly slow down? Whether it’s through meditating, conscious breathing, yoga, a massage or spending time in nature.
How can you make time to just be?

“Healing happens in the presence of an empathetic witness” - Bessel Van der Kolk
Rewatching these testimonials, I feel so moved and it’s a constant reminder of why I’m so passionate about this work.
Transformational Breathwork has been so potent for me personally in getting to the core of whatever needs to shift and aligning with my highest self. And these testimonials speak to the power of this work and how deeply and quickly it can create changes in your life.
I’ll be running an intimate breathwork immersion on 26th November in Coolangatta to ‘Release the past & call in your vision’.
If you’re feeling stressed, disconnected, lost or simply looking for clarity, direction and inspiration to propel you forward into the new year, this event will give you exactly what you need.
Only a couple of spots left. Check out the link below for tickets and event details.
Now is the perfect time to set intentions for where you want to be next year, how you want to feel, what you want to create and what actions you need to take. What we focus on expands. 👀 ✨
Yet to call that in, we need to create space. Otherwise, we run the risk of sabotaging our dreams by operating from old patterns and stories. It’s challenging to create and hold a vision when our nervous system is in survival mode.
When we release the stuff that’s in the way and holding us back - stress, trauma, pain, emotions that may be unconsciously stuck within the body - we then become clear and a vibrational match for what we desire. ✨
If you want to experience this for yourself, I’m running an intimate Transformational Breathwork immersion to release the past and call in your vision.
The event will be held:
🗓️ Sunday 26th Nov
⏰ 1-3:30pm
✨Kirra Community & Cultural Centre
What is Transformational Breathwork exactly and how can it support you?
Often during painful or stressful events, emotions and sensations become suppressed in the body and aren’t able to be fully processed (whether we’re conscious of it or not).
Transformational Breathwork allows us to bypass the analytical mind and connect with our subconscious. From this place, mental and emotional blocks can come to the surface to be released.
Unravelling years, if not decades of suppression can be an incredibly healing process. When we let go of this stagnant energy, it creates space for clarity, connection to purpose, and a greater sense of love, peace and gratitude.
See below to find out more 👇🏼
Transformational Breathwork should only be safely experienced with a trained Breathwork facilitator (contraindications apply).
If you’re ready to experience this powerful practice or curious to find out more, feel free to DM me. I’m now offering one-on-one and group sessions, both in person and online.

S.T.R.E.S.S 🥴
All of us experience it at some point in our lives.
Many of us have been chronically stressed for so long, we’ve forgotten what it feels like to feel deeply relaxed and at peace.
Stress has become the norm. 😬
This is especially true over the last few years with many of us carrying a build up of unprocessed stress, tension and trauma in the body.
The frightening thing is that many of us don’t even realise we’re stressed.
We keep on pushing on without recognising or paying attention to the warning signs our body is screaming at us. Until something more serious like burnout or illness forces us to stop.
We may even think that the symptoms “came out of nowhere.” 🤷🏻♀️
The truth is, the body is incredibly intelligent and gives us plenty of warning that it’s becoming chronically stressed. It’s not that the body isn’t letting us know, but that many of us aren’t aware of the signs of escalating stress.
Sound familiar?
I’ve created a free guide; Top 7 signs you’re stressed & on the verge of burnout (And what to do about it). 👇🏼 💜🩷
Pia was burnt out, anxious and depressed working over time in a job that was eating away at her soul.
She had a dream of one day working with children but it felt so out of reach; a pipe dream, with no clear pathway on how to get there.
After completing “Ignite Your Soul’s Purpose,” Pia connected deeply to her purpose for the first time in her life; a fire lit up inside her and she started taking the steps to make her dream a reality.
In just four weeks, she found a new job in her chosen industry and enrolled in school to become a Behavioural Therapist and Counsellor for children.
Check out a snippet of her testimonial. So proud of you, Pia! ❤️
Ignite Your Soul’s Purpose starts this Sunday 19th February. Visit vanessaindovino.com/igniteyoursoulspurpose for more information & feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

5 MYTHS ABOUT DISCOVERING YOUR PURPOSE
Purpose can often feel like a far-out concept, like a mystical destination that’s hard to reach.
Let’s debunk some myths and keep it simple!
Watch to learn about 5 myths to finding your purpose.
Plus, bonus myth #6: Your purpose needs to have large-scale impact.
Your purpose can be large-scale, but it doesn’t have to be. You might feel a sense of purpose by helping a small group of people in your life. That’s entirely okay as long as it feels meaningful and true for you.
Feel free to share and save for later if it resonates. ❤️
✨Ignite Your Soul’s Purpose, a 4 week journey to discovering your purpose and bringing it to life, starts 19 Feb.⚡️✨
After working mainly online the last few years, it felt amazing to connect back with community and facilitate a group meditation and breathwork journey for Feel Good Dips Melbourne yesterday.
So honoured to be able to support people to drop into their hearts and body, guide them to release what’s no longer serving and remind them of the infinite potential and power already within them.
Feel Good Dips is an amazing free community initiative held every Wednesday and Sunday morning in Middle Park and Elwood beach. Check them out!
Look forward to facilitating more sessions this year. ❤️

Melbourne fam! Join Feel Good Dips Melbourne and myself tomorrow morning at 5:55am at Middle Park beach (opposite Armstrong St ~ you’ll see the flag).
I’ll be guiding a meditation and breathwork before a cold dip. Come along and start the day revitalised, energised and clear! 💛

Owning and sharing your gifts in the world can feel terrifying; putting your heart on the line, stretching yourself beyond your comfort zone and fears. Whether it’s fear of failure, being seen, judgement, or criticism.
It may feel temporarily “safer” to settle for something outside of yourself such as the next shiny object or misaligned opportunity.
These paths aren’t wrong but they can act as a distraction.
It often keeps us stuck and from living our truest expression and purpose.
Yet, everything you need is already within you.
When you stay true to your highest visions and what lights you up, you can stop:
⚡️ Taking on other peoples projections and expectations - not everyone is going to understand or resonate with your dreams and that’s ok.
⚡️ Feeling like you need to be fully healed before you share your gifts.
⚡️ Ignoring that thing that lights you up because your ego tells you it won’t work for whatever reason.
⚡️ Acting like you have an unlimited amount of time and that you're going to live forever.
Often we procrastinate our dreams out of fear; we push them aside with the hope to get to them to someday. But what happens when "someday" never comes? Do you want to reach the end of your life wishing you lived a life that was true to you?
Start by taking small steps towards your purpose and vision today. Your future self will be so grateful you did. 🤍

WHY NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS DON’T WORK
I’ve generally cringed at setting New Year’s resolutions. It always felt inauthentic, and over the years, I’ve come to realise why…
⚡️They’re focussed on resolving something; emphasising what’s lacking or wrong
Eat healthier, more work / life balance, drink less. These all sound great on the surface, but they’re focussed on fixing what’s not working and what you ‘should’ be doing, rather than what you really truly desire to create.
⚡️ They’re not aligned with your soul’s true desires - in other words, they don’t mean anything to you
If something isn’t meaningful to you, you’re less likely to follow through to achieve it. It’s not sustainable.
These goals may be based on other people’s expectations or come from the ego wanting to compensate for something e.g when I achieve x, then I’ll feel enough.
⚡️ You lack commitment and focus to follow through
Most resolutions don’t make it past the first two months of the year due to a lack of commitment, focus and action.
Once you’ve tapped into what’s intrinsically meaningful and important to you, it’ll be easier to fully commit, get behind it and make it happen.
⚡️ Your focus on time is limiting you
Why wait for the first of January? Choose what you’d love to create regularly, hold the vision, take action and trust that the ‘when’ and ‘how’ will unfold.
Rigid deadlines for long term goals also limit your ability to create from a space of flow, love and creativity. There’s little room for magic and you may also underestimate your power to create sooner!
✨✨✨
Look forward to sharing more on this in the New Year. In the meantime, take the pressure off needing to set meaningless resolutions.
Instead, close your eyes, connect in with your heart and feel into what you’d truly love to create. ❤️

Feeling uneasy following the ‘traditional’ life path, Vanessa knew it was time for a change. After completing a degree in Psychology and Marketing, she then spent seven years diligently climbing the corporate ladder. On paper she was extremely successful, but internally this felt like a particularly challenging period where she came face-to-face with anxiety. Her incessant curiosity and thirst to heal led her to quit her corporate job in 2014 and in blind faith embark on a journey of self-discovery.
Trading security for self-awareness, Vanessa sold all her belongings and went to Ubud, Bali. It was there that she developed an appreciation for Yoga, Meditation and Dance. For the first time in her life, she felt a strong connection, love and respect for her body. She felt healthier and developed a better relationship with her thoughts and emotions. What was meant to be a short trip, ended up being a 12-month journey and doorway into self. That year was a turning point, yet the real work began when she returned home to Melbourne.
Since then, Vanessa has studied and delved deeply into various holistic modalities including Meditation and Mindfulness, Life Coaching, Reiki, Sound Healing and embodiment practices. Using her studies and life experiences, she now provides a safe and non-judgemental space for others, helping them reconnect to their heart and their own innate wisdom so that they may live more present and fulfilling lives.
Intuitive, empathetic and compassionate, Vanessa is committed to supporting people to achieve positive, lasting change in their lives. Her mission is to create a world where we feel free to be ourselves, where we can drop the masks and let go of shame and guilt; a world where we can connect to ourselves and to each other with open hearts and know that we are enough, that we are worthy. Vanessa believes that we all innately know what we need to do; we all have the answers within us. Her job is to support you on your journey and act as a mirror to what you already know to be true.
Vanessa offers Meditation and Mindfulness, Reiki and Coaching programs to individual clients, groups and corporate organisations. She's a certified Meditation Teacher through Melbourne Meditation Centre, a certified Life Coach through Real Education’s Professional Coaching Program, and is trained and certified in Reiki and Tibetan Sound Healing.
