Hi πŸ‘‹πŸ» I’ve got some new followers and a lot has changed since my last intro!
-I’m Vanessa Manes [Mah-Nez] (went back to my maiden name, some of you knew me as Cardin)
-Toast has a brother now! His name is Shadow- added another dog to my life πŸ•πŸΆ
-I moved out of Orange County and now I live in San Diego! Offering both telehealth and in person sessions.
-I switched to matcha instead of coffee…but still drink coffee.
-I still love Pilates
-Working on getting somatic certifications and learning more about working with the body. This has helped me in my own healing and I’m excited to start implementing this work with my clients.
-I still stop and smell the roses and I look for butterflies too.

Thank you for following my page! I hope to provide some personal and authentic content to help you along your healing journey. We are on the road together.

Discovering the distinction between power over and power with was a pivotal moment in my therapy journey. Guiding clients to empower themselves and find security without relying on others' actions brings immense relief. It's freeing to know you can thrive without controlling others.✨🀍🌱
