Vanessa, known as Coach V, is an ACSM Certified Personal Trainer, Precision Nutrition Coach, certified yoga instructor, and trauma-informed coach with more than a decade of experience helping people become stronger, more confident, and more capable both inside and outside the gym.
Her expertise spans women’s health, pre- and postnatal fitness, menopause, mobility, injury prevention and recovery, and athletic performance. Vanessa is passionate about meeting clients where they are and helping them build the strength, confidence, and knowledge to reach where they want to go.
Her own athletic journey has taken her through yoga, CrossFit, obstacle course racing, marathons, triathlons, and bodybuilding. She is a nationally qualified bikini competitor and has followed a vegan lifestyle for more than 25 years. These experiences have given her a unique understanding of the physical and mental challenges that come with pursuing ambitious goals.
Vanessa especially enjoys working with people navigating different stages of life, individuals in eating disorder recovery, and athletes preparing for everything from their first race to a competition. Whether a client is taking their first steps into the gym or preparing for their next big challenge, she believes in creating an environment where people can push themselves, learn, and grow.
Her coaching goes beyond simply prescribing workouts. Drawing from both her professional expertise and lived experience, Vanessa understands how our past experiences can influence the way we see ourselves and what we believe we’re capable of. Her goal is to help clients develop not only physical strength, but also the confidence and competence to recognize what they are truly capable of.
Outside of fitness, Vanessa enjoys spending time with her animal kiddos, animal rescue and survivor advocacy, traveling and camping, reading, carpentry, and, of course, BTS and K-pop.
