Coach Vanessa

Approach & Background

Approach & Background

Born and raised in Washington State, I've planted roots in the vibrant community of Kent, WA, where I share a multigenerational home with my hilarious husband, our three energetic boys, and my in-laws (yes, we make it work—and I have plenty of boundary-setting tips to share!).

Born and raised in Washington State, I've planted roots in the vibrant community of Kent, WA, where I share a multigenerational home with my hilarious husband, our three energetic boys, and my in-laws (yes, we make it work—and I have plenty of boundary-setting tips to share!).


As a Filipina/Caucasian woman, I navigate the beautiful complexity of multicultural identity daily. This lived experience informs my coaching approach, especially when working with women balancing cultural influences, family obligations, and professional ambitions.


Motherhood profoundly shaped my coaching journey. A few years ago, I experienced a lightbulb moment when I realized I was constantly asking "what's next?" without ever asking "what's meaningful?" After years of juggling sippy cups, flag football practices, and spreadsheets—followed by inevitable burnout—I finally paused to reflect. I recognized that in trying to meet everyone else's expectations, I had lost myself in my own story.


This realization led me on a delightful (sometimes messy) adventure to discover what living aligned truly means for me. The joy and purpose I found in rediscovering myself ignited a passion to guide others through their own journeys of alignment and self-discovery. Every woman deserves to write herself back into her own story, and I'm committed to creating the safe, understanding space where that transformation can happen.


When I'm not coaching or at my 9-5, you'll find me cheering loudly at my kids' school events, losing myself in a good book, planning our next family adventure, or stealing a few minutes of meditation before the household wakes up. I thrive on making genuine connections with people from all walks of life—learning from and connecting with others brings me incredible joy!

As a woman also navigating multiple roles and cultural expectations, I'm not here to burden you with more tasks—I'm here to help you transform your relationship with what's already demanding your attention.


My journey as an educator combined with my certification as a Life and Purpose Coach has revealed the powerful tools we all possess to reshape our habits, priorities, and mindsets. Drawing from this experience, I've developed a coaching approach that blends evidence-based positive psychology, mindfulness practices, actionable strategies, and just enough humor to keep things real!


When we work together, expect a judgment-free zone where your experiences are not just acknowledged, but centered. I'm committed to truly seeing you—cultural nuances, workplace challenges, family expectations and all. Together, we'll uncover those sneaky limiting beliefs (we all have them!), celebrate your unique strengths, and tap into what truly motivates you. Consider me your personal hype woman as you experiment with new mindsets and strategies!


Life throws all kinds of experiences our way that shape how we see things, but too often we get stuck thinking we're powerless or that our struggles don't matter. What gets me up in the morning is helping women see just how amazing and stong they truly are! I'm all about supporting you to define success your way (not your mom's way, not your boss's way) and find your own unique path to living your best life.
