Simona M. (Spain)
Vanessa is a Coach with a unique rapport, connection with nature, understanding and listening skills that only ones with service to humanity have; as demonstrated from her years in International Peace Corps. With her Presence and experiences, I couldn’t have had a better listener and understanding! After our session, an insight of most of my family mindset, became clear to me. Empowered with challenging the mindset, my family’s issues are now being resolved.

Vanessa helped me figure out that I needed - & wanted - better my health & fitness sooner than I planned. She guided me through a great process to define what steps I should take in that direction, & how to implement them as smoothly & effectively as possible, regarding my current lifestyle. Thank you again, Van Girl!!
Kevin M. (France)
Vanessa is easy to talk to and full of energy! Living as a nomad has made her an expert in decluttering and transitioning. She is proof you can live life full out and leave a small footprint.
Tamara V. (New York)
Vanessa is a very committed coach which continuous with reflections and material she finds worthy for you after the session. She is powerful, lots of positive energy and with her energizing spirit motivated me to get back on track and take actions. Explore yourself!
Nicole S. (Bolivia/Germany)
Vanessa, beautiful and free Van girl, I love her vibe. It is so free, so inspiring, so light. I really enjoyed our session. I booked it to talk about my van life dream, but then I decided to work on more pressing matters. I had some ideas on the work I want to do but didn't know how to put it into work and make it clear. When she coached me I was able to finally find the right words to describe what I want and visualize for my future self and business. Thank you for helping me define who I want to work with and how I want to serve. Thank you for your talent and help.
Iva R. (United Kingdom)
Vanessa is a calm, caring, and kind coach. She takes the time to get clear on the problem in a session without judgement. She is very authentic with her support. Her empathy allows her to feel what the client has to say with compassion while making sure the client remains heard, felt, and seen. Her vast array of life experience makes her a great choice to coach for most people and her unwillingness to stop until the client feels a breakthrough, insight, or mix of the two is what sets her apart.
Jesse B. (Canada)
Vanessa truly comes from place of service and helps you find your bearings. She enables you to see what is already working for you and build on that to help you find ways to achieve your goals. She is genuinely caring and wants to see her clients find joy and happiness while being successful.
Taru S. (New Jersey)
Vanessa poses a warmth that radiates through the screen. As a coach her authenticity and calm demeanor automatically put me at ease. She made me feel seen, when I felt invisible and connected to a greater whole when I felt alienated by an unexpected experience. I thank her for choosing this path and truly making a difference in people's lives.
Alana R. (Florida)
Feel like you’re going around in circles and getting nowhere? Vanessa is great at helping inspire new thinking about your problems, and reconnecting to the part of you that knows exactly how to break out of your own, personal doldrums. Thank you, Vanessa!
Natasha C. (New York)
I would like to take this time to express my gratitude, thank you for the coaching. It has been great and I have been meeting people through you. You are a free spirited and loving person who wants the best for everyone. Thank you for your support.
Pinkie M. (Botswana, Africa)
From my first interaction with Vanessa I could see how passionate she was not only just about coaching, but about helping and supporting people in general. Vanessa is a natural leader when it comes to taking on the role of providing resources and assistance wherever possible. It has been a pleasure working with her.
Debi E. (Florida)
Vanessa exudes amazing positive energy and has the gift of calming her clients when the world seems to be spinning out of control. These abilities make her an insightful coach and a great supportive resource. She also had very good facilitation skills which will amplify her core skills when engaging clients in group coaching.
Andrea W. (New York)
The dynamic duo of Vanessas have created an intriguing nature quest. I was privileged to view Creating Space in Nature, a 21-day quest, and was impressed. The 5 Senses exercise and the history tidbits stood out for me. This is definitely a quest I would participate in if it were to be offered by MindValley. Great job, ladies!

Thank you for a great coaching session. You have a way of connecting with people and it makes opening up to you very easy. Your quality to connect will be a great asset as a coach. You are super helpful and I can tell from your smile that you have a beautiful heart.

Vanessa is curious about nature and her surroundings and by her very nature is then curious about life and people! 💜 Her warm and earthly nature put me at ease right away and her natural ability to deeply listen as she asked me provocative and curious questions helped me work through a block I was having in an area of my life and come up with a practical, doable action plan to work on in our very first session. I would highly recommend Vanessa Donaldson if you are thinking about getting a life coach!

Facilitator Role
Vanessa has been a member of the Telegram East Coast CLC (Certified Life Coach) Group and my Coach’s Collective (non-solicitation) Group since inception. As an active weekly participant, Vanessa is sought after with other participants for coaching practice. She graciously shares her vast experiences and her newfound wisdom freely with great enthusiasm. When we gather as a group, she provides useful feedback in an encouraging constructive manner. Vanessa takes it all in and learns with each experience and encounter, always looking for and identifying those golden nuggets to incorporate into her own practice and/or share with others.
Vanessa is very encouraging to new (unsure of themselves) coaches and quickly volunteers to be client to help her peers on their journeys. In building her network, she readily connects her peers with others that would benefit from that introduction. Vanessa is quick to see opportunities and will create space to explore; most recent example are a telegram group created for Military families and another group created for Women of Color.
I had the pleasure of co-collaborating with Vanessa on our “Creating Space in Nature” – a 21 day quest project. What started off as a suggestion to collaborate on a tip sheet “Connect with Nature” to share with clients, quickly evolved into a quest with a presentation and outline to submit to Mindvalley for consideration. Working together, I found Vanessa to be equally as driven in her passion for the coaching profession. Her work ethic is impeccable, with clear and concise goals in mind. Free flowing ideas and ‘fire-side chats” led to even more collaborations, most notably, we are poised to rebrand her created Telegram group, "Solicitations/Sales” and launch a complimentary telegram group, Coach’s Collective Co-op Marketplace, where our peers can showcase and solicit their offerings.
I am grateful to have met Vanessa, Van Life Girl Coach, Donaldson. Vanessa is very supportive of her peers, giving of her time and expertise with her heart and soul. I look forward to continuing our collaborations with well beyond CLC graduation.
