TESTIMONIALS
Hannah Neville
Bristol, UK
"My stay with Vanessa has been really life-changing for me. I felt so comfortable to explore and understand my voice. Vanessa is gifted, with a wholesome knowledge. She guided me with the flow of me voice giving me skills and techniques that will last my lifetime. She has helped me find my confidence and after just two sessions I will continue to sing which I never thought I would of been capable to do. All down to her incredible support. Her space is magical - In the depths of the Costa Rican jungle (although a pretty easy route there from San José) you are surrounded by pure nature. A perfect place to chill and relax but also with an vast amount of things to do. I was fortunate to experience the Tinamaste Feria; where the community come together to sell what they grow, create and love. Plus yoga classes too. I would recommend coming to stay with Vanessa if you’ve ever wanted to explore your voice and need help to let go of fear that surrounds it. She offers a unique way to spread the joy of singing and you will see results."

"Ahisha is an incredible space holder and cacao ceremony facilitator. Her in-depth background working with medicines of all kinds, and supporting others on their healing journey, is obvious and apparent. She has a loving, comforting, playful, and joyous presence which helped us all break through our comfort zones and open our hearts more fully. The students walked away with a newfound appreciation for the power of these ceremonies and skills to use within their own ceremony creations. I highly recommend Ahisha's cacao facilitator training to anyone eager to bring these ancient practices into their offerings as a teacher, leader, coach, or healer." - Amber Sears -EpicSelf.com
