The Art of You: A guide to shaping your unique place in the beautiful mosaic of life Paperback – 26 July 2019

The first day I got this, I couldn't put it down. On reading Vanessa's words and experiences, I felt overwhelmed yet quietly strengthened. We have shared similar situations and her comments and views rang true, but also helped me order my own feelings and tackle them from a new perspective. I'm yet to find the time to finish the final chapters, but the content certainly promises to be a refreshing and different aid to help self reflection and is a much needed reminder to reconnect with ourselves when living such hectic lifestyles.

The Art of You is the most fascinating and clarifying read guiding through the beauty and art that resides within us us that we can forget on our crazy life’s journey xx Beautiful story telling and deep guidance ❤️

Read it from front to back or dip into it daily, you will always find something to comfort and inspire you. Just wonderful!

Vanessa has created a unique book which is a combination of psychology, shamanic healing and insightful story telling. She brings in her own experiences to help you with your own journey. The book is split into two parts. Part One - learning - Becoming your own Life Artist, working with Nature, Energy and Beauty as your guides. Part Two - putting it into practice - working on your mind, body and soul. I thoroughly recommend this book. I have been on one of Vanessa's retreats and they were fantastic. But reading this book afterwards blew my mind. A unique work of genius. I can't wait for the next book.

Wow.This is so much more than a book. Reading it is like watching a play, a film and listening to music all at the same time! Incredible.Vanessa shares the highs and lows of her life, interweaving her experiences with beautifully descriptive stories and words of wisdom. In a world of selfies, filters and disposable dates, The Art of You is a reminder of what it and we are all about.Jam packed with helpful exercises, I have begun to think differently about all I have to offer the world, how important nature is to my wellbeing and just as helpfully how unimportant and trivial my physical insecurities are. I feel richer for reading this book and its words will stay with me for a very long time to come. Treat yourself and anyone you love to a copy!

The Art of You is a magical journey of discovery! Vanessa has created a wondrous choice of tools and techniques, inspiration and wisdom honouring your connection to nature and energy. Vanessa shares the story of her journey to encourage your journey! A fabulously written book overflowing with inspiration, spritiual support for your growth aligned to the current paradigm shift! Encouraging an adventure with art and creativity to discover your soul’s essence! I read it twice and highlighted so much ready to immerse myself in this wonderful process ! Colourful, dark, beautiful, intense, daring and honest.

I had the privilege of purchasing a copy of this wonderful book back in March. I also had the privilege of attending one of Vanessa’s retreats in June. Both the book and the retreat have been life changing for me. Those around me have benefited too. I wanted to read the book again straight away but decided to wait while I processed all I had learned. I thoroughly recommend that ALL women read this book. AND treat yourself to a retreat! You must be so proud of this book Vanessa xx

How wonderful that Vanessa has put all her knowledge, wisdom and years of teaching into this amazing book! The gems of wisdom you will find within the pages of the book are truly transformative. Especially relevant for me we’re the pages on “How to Transform fear”.Using personal stories such as The living Bridges to illustrate life’s journey is very inspirational and uplifing. We all have a masterpiece within us. This book will help you uncover it. A really excellent read 🙏
