I’m Vanessa, your dedicated Performance Coach and Mentor, committed to guiding you toward achieving your goals and finding fulfillment in both your personal and professional life. After years of helping people on their career and life journey, I decided to dig deeper into coaching and mentoring, and so at the end of 2023 I founded Ness Coaching.

My purpose as your Coach and Mentor?
I am here to motivate you, see you thrive and keep you accountable to reach your goals.

With over a decade of experience in events, management, tourism, and hospitality, I’ve faced many of the same challenges and milestones you might be experiencing now. I hold a Master’s degree in Management, an NLP Practitioner certificate, and an International Coaching Federation (ICF) Coaching Certificate, but it’s my real-world experience that truly allows me to connect with you and understand your journey.

Throughout my career, there were times I had someone by my side, and other times it was just me, myself and I. The support I received made all the difference. I am not saying you can’t do it on your own. You absolutely can. But having a mentor or coach makes the path smoother and faster. That’s the heart of why I founded Ness Coaching.

When you work with Ness Coaching, you’re not just getting guidance; you’re gaining a trusted partner who encourages you, helps you overcome obstacles, and keeps you focused on what matters most—your goals. Coaching and mentoring isn’t just about advancing your career; it’s about finding balance and happiness in life as a whole.

If you’re ready to take that step, you can start today with a Discovery session. Starting something new might be a scary thought, but I always found staying in the same place is even scarier. Just remember, at the end of the day, what you are not changing, you are choosing.

Make sure you choose what is best for you.

PS Read on below to learn about the Ness Core Values and why Ness Programs are the right choice for you.

  • Honesty & Transparency

    Honesty comes at the forefront of all Ness Programs. I give my insight honestly and openly and stay transparent about what we can do together to facilitate your goals. During our Discovery Session, if we come to an agreement that I cannot guide you for any reason, I will make sure to refer you to a professional who can assist you, such as a therapist, counselor or strategist. 

  • Integrity & Professionalism

    Once we start a journey together, we will finish it together. This demonstrates professionalism and commitment to guiding you (or your team) throughout the entire journey and process, with all the highs and lows.

  • Respect & Equality

    You will always be treated with respect and as an equal. We work together towards your goals with respect to your values and beliefs, whatever they may be. Background, nationality, gender, sex, age, religion, medical history, race do not hold any difference in how one is regarded during any given coaching session. Your transformative journey is based on mutual respect and equality.

  • Confidentiality & Trust

    Every session is confidential. Trust is one of my most important values. Therefore, all sessions are confidential and will never be shared or discussed with third parties. You are asked for permission to take notes. All information, notes and e-mails are secured so that no part of your journey is ever made public. The only part that will ever be shared is an optional testimonial you are welcome to give after your journey. 

  • Empathy & Understanding

    All sessions incorporate empathy and understanding. They are a safe place where you can explore not just your potential, but your fears, goals, limiting beliefs and dreams. All your concerns, thought and emotions will be heard, seen and valued.

  • Solution Driven & Growth Orientated

    We will always focus on your present state, your desired outcome, and setting achievable tasks that will get you on track to reaching your full potential. Your past is important and though it can give answers, you have the ultimate power of changing your desired outcome this very minute. Therefore, we focus on change, growth and development, celebrating every success you achieve! Take advantage of this open space to embrace your inner power and reach fulfilment.

Some say you should lead by example.
I fully embrace that, coaching and mentoring through by setting an example and treating my Clients the same way I would have wanted to be treated when I was in their shoes.

Upholding Core Values is what sets Ness Coaching apart. It’s the dedication and care for every single Client, knowing the infinite potential they have and can reach with guidance.
