Hey There

I’m Vanessa—an artist, a yoga teacher, and a mom of three.

Most days, my life looks like a mix of creating, cleaning,
breaking up sibling arguments, and trying to find a few quiet moments in between. It’s not perfectly balanced, and it’s
definitely not always calm—but it’s real.

All About Me

For a long time, I felt this constant pull between who I was as a mother and who I was as a creative person. Like I had to choose between showing up for my family and showing up for myself.

This space came from realizing I don’t actually want to choose.

I want both.

I want a life where creativity isn’t something I have to earn after everything else is done—but something that exists inside of it. Where expression, movement, and emotion are part of everyday life, not something separate from it.

Through yoga, art, and the work I create, I’m really just exploring that idea:
What does it look like to feel more connected to yourself… while still living a full, busy, sometimes chaotic life?

I don’t have it all figured out.

But I do know how to create space—for feeling, for expression, for slowing down just enough to notice what’s there.

That’s what you’ll find here.

A place to create.
A place to reconnect.
A place to feel things you might have been holding in.

Whether it’s through a custom piece of art, a moment on your mat, or something you read that makes you pause for a second—you’re invited to come back to yourself.
