My 3-month live zoom-training, “From Anger to Creating Peace, Freedom, and Healing in Your Life,” is for those who want to release repressed, angry toxic energy from their bodies and learn how to express anger healthily in order to have empowered conversations.
When you don’t allow yourself to feel anger and release it, this powerful energy gets stuck in your body. When you engage in destructive patterns, you hurt yourself and those around you.
Whether you destructively express or suppress anger, if you don’t know how to healthily, consciously express it with awareness, this repressed energy will inevitably come at a cost to your health and well-being.
Instead, come to appreciate anger as a powerful, necessary, and creative primary energetic force. Let anger alert you to your needs and reveal your desires to create the peace, freedom, and healing you want.
This training is for those who:

What people say about my trainings…
“I have attended numerous workshops, gone on many retreats, and engaged in lots of rituals and ceremonies and when I participated in Vanessa’s workshop, I was extremely impressed with Vanessa’s ability to create a sacred, safe, and supportive container and facilitate deep and powerful work in a very compassionate way. Vanessa is present, attuned, empathetic, genuine, and empowered. She asks amazing questions that help one go deeper and get a better handle on one’s truth. Her workshop is rich with information, tools, and experiential learning. Vanessa incorporates meditation, breathwork, embodied practices, creative expression, ancestral work, psychology- all within the context of the nonviolent communication paradigm. She teaches fundamental skills for how to feel, process, and express anger in a constructive way, skills I wished I learned as a child. I see how, without these skills, I have created a lot of unnecessary suffering in my life and relationships. This workshop is beneficial for any human being who wishes to be healthier and have healthier personal and professional relationships and is also valuable for those working in any field related to personal growth and mental health.” –AR, Psychologist
“NVC (nonviolent communication) seemed like such bullshit to me until Vanessa’s workshop. What a breath of fresh air Vanessa is! Swear, be animated, get angry. The steps Vanessa presented are concrete and tangible. I found (and find) them useful. In most workshops, participants are presented with theory, do some feel-good exercises, and go home without new tools. I finally got permission to be myself. Now I get to learn how to also be constructive because it’s not okay to rip into others and walk away, leaving bleeding bodies all over the floor. The steps for processing anger will help me process my feelings on my own – what is mine, what belongs to the other person, and what is ours. Having clarity and working on what’s mine will allow me to develop healthy strategies for dealing with what’s ours.” –LLB, Retired

“I attended Vanessa’s workshop, and I’m still feeling the profound effects of it. It was such a powerful and transformative experience. Vanessa is an extraordinary woman, healer, teacher, and guide. Her depth of knowledge and ability to hold space is truly magnificent. Throughout the entire workshop I felt so safe and cared for and it allowed me to open up and get the most out of the two days. Vanessa created a very strong and safe container. Her teaching was compassionate, cutting edge and rooted in deep wisdom and intuition that awoke a part of me that had been hidden for years. The structure of the workshop flowed beautifully, allowing for flexibility and the unique individual needs of the group. I’m so grateful for my experience with Vanessa and the other participants. The experience not only transformed me on a cognitive level but also transformed me on a deep somatic and energetic level. Working with Vanessa was such a gift. Her generosity with attention and time is unmatched. Her ability to go deep and process and ask the most poignant, transformative questions is beautiful to experience personally as well as witness with the other members in the group. I truly believe any student that finds their way to Vanessa will feel empowered and deeply transformed. ” –CV, R.N.
“I have participated in a lot of workshops on communication and emotions, and Vanessa’s workshop was hands down one of the best, especially for being only 3 hours long. The questions, handouts, and worksheets did an excellent job of connecting me with my feelings and needs about a situation that has been bothering me in my relationship with my dad. Even though my prior experience learning nonviolent communication led me to believe that “I already know this stuff,” I also knew that I was having a hard time practicing it with my dad, and Vanessa’s workshop was a great reminder of the importance of following the steps! Just do the work! Every time! Don’t skip it. Don’t intellectualize it. Don’t say you already know it. Just do it. Feel the feelings. Listen to what they are telling you. These steps serve as a road map to get from anger to clarity, and the first part of the workshop taught me how not following the steps has been affecting my health. Anger is important but holding onto it and not working through it can be toxic. One last thing I want to say is that I was the only cisgender man in the workshop, and that’s a problem. The world needs more men who understand their emotions and know how to take responsibility for their emotional experiences. I can’t even imagine how my life would be different if I had been raised by a man who had a healthy relationship with his anger. So, to the men out there, I want to say, “This is the work. Vanessa teaches it very well.” –NJR, Associate Marriage & Family Therapist

“Vanessa’s workshop helped me understand why my anger turns to frustration, gave me steps to channel my energy effectively, and changed how I react to triggers. She adeptly highlighted that my angry communication at work was entangled with unconscious expectations that I had of the other person. Since then, I’ve had to reflect on and reframe my workplace conversations, which have led to amazing results. I have more awareness about how I communicate my expectations, and I don’t take things personally. I highly recommend her workshops as a way to start your transformation.” — MT, WOC Executive
“I had a very powerful experience in Vanessa’s anger workshop. I had anticipation and anxiety upon deciding to take the class and leading up to it, but it was also strangely clear that I needed to do this workshop. While taking it, I was aware that there were layers upon layers of anger that I could access. Being permitted to acknowledge anger, work with it, and release it was very cathartic. What has been most surprising is how I have had more access to these layers since doing this workshop and, thereby, more release. I strongly suggest taking this workshop!” –JM, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist

“I wasn’t sure what to expect when I signed up, actually, I couldn’t even pin-point what I wanted and needed to get out of it. Working with Vanessa has not only helped me work through my anger, but also connect with my needs and my feelings and express them more clearly. I’m able to recognize now, that a lot of my frustration was with not being able to identify and express my feelings and this intensive weekend has helped me with that, tremendously. At best, I was hoping to come away with some new tools to manage my anger. But, I’ve been pleasantly surprised to notice that I’m not as quick to anger in general. The skills I learned have helped me identify EARLY, my physical and emotional signals and work with them and stay in control. I hope there is an ‘advanced’ class one day, because I will be first on the list to join. Looking forward to doing more great work with Vanessa. If you’re on the fence, take the leap, you will be so glad you did.” –RC, General Manager & Head of Operations
“Vanessa’s anger training proved to be very insightful for me. She taught us about the root causes of anger, which gave me a different perspective on how I process my anger. She provided some awesome tools to use. Thank you so much! ” –SW, Financial Counselor

“I had the pleasure of taking part in Vanessa’s workshop. Having worked with my therapist on this topic in the past, I was initially hesitant to sign up, wondering if anything new would be introduced and relevant to me personally. I’m very happy that I decided to do it. Vanessa helped me to look at anger in a different way, acknowledging it as a primary emotion with a purpose, as opposed to something that needed to be completely eradicated. I felt her delivery of the steps was very compassionate, but also very “real” and relatable. Her passion to help people become more authentic versions of themselves was really evident to me, and it just made the experience, not only useful in day to day life, but enjoyable. I would recommend her services to professional colleagues and loved ones alike, with 100% confidence that they will get something positive out of her services.” — AJ, Property Manager, Wife, and Mother
“I attended Vanessa’s workshop out of curiosity. I didn’t feel particularly rageful, but I am always interested in exploring human experience. Right away, I was impressed at how Vanessa led the room. She lets you know that the work is deep and that she will be there to support and guide you through it. What surprised me was that I found the work not only interesting but practical and very useful. One does not have to be “dealing with anger issues” to benefit from this work. Vanessa presents a logical, productive, and positive way of working with the anger that we all experience throughout our lives. Her work will benefit anyone open to it.” –MAR, Actor, Director, Educator
“Talking about anger felt like the spark on a powder keg before actually participating in Vanessa’s workshop. The moment passed quickly thanks to her skill, compassion, and connection with our group. She modeled how to take away my judgment around my own anger and sparked insights (for me) around boundaries and allowing time to experience the feeling of anger without falling into it.” –LA, Marketing Consultant
