She has always believed in helping people whether it be in the community, schools or corporate world. Her career started early, since both her parents and grandparents were business owners. "Hard work" was highly valued in her family. She attended a science and engineering academy through most of high school, attended Southern Illinois University for Industrial Engineering Technology - graduating in 3 years. She worked her way up the corporate ladder very quickly and found herself running organizations at a young age.  During the course of all this corporate success, she was diagnosed with a rare disease - leaving her relying on many different medical professionals. She finally ended her corporate career and her husband and her became pregnant with their first son. Life seemed good. She started a resume writing and executive career coaching business where the skills she learned in corporate, once again created great success. But two things happened: (1) her health took a nose-dive, and (2) she noticed 85% of her clients struggled with health issues that were affecting how they performed at work. No longer could she morally help people find jobs if their health was affecting more than just them.  In taking a sabbatical, she uncovered some hefty relational issues with her husband and her parents, leading to her discovery of functional nutrition and FDN, that ultimately uncovered how trauma creates disease. Now as a board-certified holistic autoimmune and trauma recovery practitioner, FDN-P, certified functional nutrition coach, speaker and author, Vennessa educates and empowers people to take control of their fatigue and pain during the in-between moments, while confidently owning their journey so they can live a vibrant life.
