    “Working with Vanessa is a complete game changer! I made over 40% more in sales during my first quarter of working with her.

    I have been working with her for a year now and have increased sales by 299% in just one year. Due to the growth, I was able to transition from my corporate job into my business full-time with her support.

Her emphasis on human connection and daily support created a nurturing environment where I felt heard and supported.

    The biggest takeaway for me was realizing the interconnectedness of all aspects of my business and personal life. Vanessa helped me see how aligning my energy and intentions can create powerful shifts in both areas. Together, we revamped revenue channels and worked on projects live, which was incredibly empowering.

    “Vanessa is lovingly straight to the point. I appreciate that she is not afraid to give me her opinion and her approach is in such a respectful way. She was able to truly stretch my comfort zone to think differently and see outside of the box. She is great at inviting her clients to step into their power!!!

    Vanessa has so much experience in all areas of business and she has so much wisdom to offer regardless of where you're at in YOURS. Not only is she a well of information and insight and wisdom, she also will ACTUALLY care about you as a person and your growth personally and professionally. If you are ready to elevate as a human and entrepreneur, 10000% recommend Vanessa & Creative CEO.

    I went in working with Vanessa feeling a bit lost, without any real direction, but with a vision for myself and my business... within a matter of weeks, we were taking REAL action towards making that vision a reality. I never would have thought I'd be hosting a sold-out launch party for my business! Not only that, the choice and action of doing so has opened so many unexpected doors and I know it is all due to forward, aligned motion-- all of which I can thank Vanessa for guiding me to.

    I just hosted a sold-out launch party for my business and as a result of stepping out of my comfort zone (thanks to the help of Vanessa), so many doors for partnerships with my brand have opened! One of the best takeaways from working with Vanessa has been my belief in myself-- which is priceless. Before working with Vanessa, I admit I was timid and not going ALL in. In working with her, I am moving forward with support and guidance and so much about my belief in myself as an entrepreneur has shifted and elevated as a result!”

    We decided to work with Vanessa because we experienced firsthand watching other business owners (who have worked with her) transform magically in their businesses in a short period of time. Vanessa’s skills are beyond what anyone can imagine. She always has innovative and solid responses to any question that allows you to implement quickly in your business.

Learned that it is ok to work hard, but also play hard. Working with Vanessa has lessened my doubts and anxiety about entrepreneurship. With her expertise, I can honestly say I feel more confident in scaling my business to where I dream, except I know it is a reality.

    Her work style is a true judgment-free zone and I no longer feel shame for the areas of improvement that I want to focus on in my business but instead feel empowered. Vanessa is not your average business mentor she is a true rockstar who will not only help you succeed in your business but also support your mental health by guiding you on ways to release personal trauma in such areas as your money and wealth healing journey.

    I choose to work with Vanessa because she has solid experience running multiple types of successful business models. She supports me tremendously with her deep depth of knowledge in all areas of the business, unlike no other mentor I have seen before.

I have been able to change my perspective and now I see blockers as learning opportunities that have truly helped me grow in my business.

She focuses on helping you make decisions that align with you. I think for me the biggest takeaway from this experience is that intention into your actions can have a big effect on sales and the business in general.

    “I would 110% recommend working with Vanessa to ALL of my business friends. She has truly opened my eyes to the possibility of taking my business full-time. My confidence in myself and my business has blossomed and I am ready to take up my space with my secret sauce!

    My confidence in my business has soared. I have done things since I started working with her that I thought I would only be able to accomplish within 5-10 years of business! With her push and support, I accomplished LIFE GOALS WITHIN 1 YEAR OF BUSINESS!

    Vanessa gave me the space to be myself and feel all my emotions which is so important. Sometimes as an entrepreneur, we're constantly trying to move past our feelings and it really hinders our work. Vanessa taught me how to feel the feels and still get my work done.

    You need Vanessa in your life if you are ready to scale your business. She becomes your business partner, your sounding board, and your biggest cheerleader. I find myself asking, "What would Vanessa tell me?" anytime I am faced with a decision. I truly value her opinion and she truly looks out for her client's best interests -- physically, emotionally, and financially.

    It is inspiring to talk and be mentored by someone who cares about the human in me FIRST. During our first meeting/consultation, I knew that I wanted to be around Vanessa’s no-bullshit energy. She is uplifting and a true powerhouse! Whenever I am posed with an obstacle or question regarding my business, I sit back and think “What would Vanessa do?” My biggest win thus far was getting my business featured on tv organically. Very thankful to her!” Lauren Garcia-Marcigliano, Founder

  • Home in Focus Media & The Life Pivot Co.

    “Earlier this year, I realized that I needed to set stronger boundaries. I was making a good living but entrepreneurship was starting to wear on me.

    Coming back from the retreat, I found clarity and knew the exact steps I needed to take in my business to achieve my goals. I have been able to intentionally set strong boundaries, and successfully delegate and outsource projects so that I can be fully present on things that excite me in my businesses such as launching new services or programs. As a result, I have tripled my monthly income and am now reaching $60k months consecutively.“

  • Nayelly Reyes

    “Vanessa’s mentorship and human approach are just beautiful! Vanessa will guide you and help you find your magic, but it is up to you to execute in order to be successful.

    When I reached out to Vanessa, I thought I already had a plan, a vision, and a product, I was ready to hit the ground running...but then she asked me a simple question about WHY... and I discovered a whole new me and a whole new project. We scratched that plan and vision and now I feel that this new project/business has a deep meaningful reason to exist.

    Vanessa guided me and asked me intentional questions to make me think deeper about WHY. I discovered a new perspective and together, we mapped the steps and the vision for this new project.

    I would definitely recommend working with her. The human-to-human interaction that we have had are the most human connections I have had in my entire life that cannot even compare to my corporate career. The AHA moments and my rollercoaster of discovering my WHY was an interesting feeling and awakening.”

I loved the way she helped me understand scaling my business, niching down, honing in on my vision and her approach to helping me execute my ideas and make them happen. The really intentional personal touch through every step of the way was really special. My biggest takeaway was how to utilize my own energy to empower myself and my business.

    "Choosing to be in Vanessa's energy was an easy decision for me. Seeing another Latina absolutely kill it as an entrepreneur was not only inspiring but also deeply motivating.

    One of the things I loved most about the experience was Vanessa's genuine concern for us as individuals. She consistently asked how we were doing as humans, reminding us that, beyond our business roles, we're people with emotions and lives outside of work. This perspective shift has been invaluable to me, and I've made it a practice to approach everyone with this human-first mindset.

    What's essential for others to understand about this experience is that it's all about prioritizing our humanity before anything else. Vanessa encourages us to be unapologetically ourselves in our entrepreneurial journey.

    I was pleasantly surprised by the depth we delved into our money mindsets during this experience. Sharing this exploration with other women and Latinas made me feel seen and supported in ways I hadn't expected.

    My takeaways from this experience have been profound. I gained a newfound clarity and a significant boost in self-esteem as a Founder.

    Working with Vanessa has been transformative. The most significant takeaway for me is that everything counts, and being seen as a human being first has changed how I approach interactions with others. I've had several 'AHA' moments throughout our journey together.

    I wholeheartedly recommend this experience to my business friends. The human-centric approach and the profound impact it can have on your perspective and business interactions are truly remarkable." Kathleen Ribeiro, Founder

  • Compass

    “There are not many opportunities to come together with other like-minded women in an intimate setting to open up about your business goals, inspirations, pain points, and disappointments. This mastermind group not just helped me think outside my normal goal setting, but also gave me a set of new business friends from different industries. The ability to be vulnerable with this group has really broadened how I think about running my business, how to feed those that work for me in a positive way, and overall to not just be a business owner but a leader in my industry. Vanessa knows how to facilitate these discussions and encourages us to think outside the box and challenge ourselves to be better no matter what the circumstance. This mastermind group is highly recommended.”
