Who I am
Hi, I’m Vanessa, and I can’t wait to meet you!
I am a practicing corporate and mergers and acquisitions lawyer and partner at a very large law firm with over 10 years of experience in the legal industry.
I am also a life and career coach for lawyers, here to guide and support you on your strategic but heart-led journey in the law.
It's no secret that the legal profession can be highly stressful.
Between juggling multiple deadlines at once,
shouldering sometimes long or unpredictable hours,
building your own book of business,
and managing client and colleague expectations,
all while trying to maintain some normalcy, balance, and self-care in your personal life.
I get it. I've been there. Because I am you!
The legal profession oftentimes gets a bad rap.
I can happily report that the legal profession does not have to be so hard, dissatisfying, or unmanageable.
There are lawyers who feel happy, fulfilled, and appreciated. I am one of them.
As lawyers, we are prone to believe working harder, billing more hours, and bringing in more clients is the way to go.
When in reality, being strategic in working smarter not harder, honoring your heart, and living your most authentic life is the recipe to create the career and life you’ve always wanted.
I’m here to help!
With me, you have a safe space to open up about your hopes, dreams, and goals for your career, but also your fears, worries, and dissatisfactions.
We will work through any false belief systems, negative thought patterns, identifying toxic work environments, or anything else that is holding you back from living your best life.
Together, let's design the life and career you've always wanted!
