About Vanessa & A Shanti Ki
My name is Vanessa, a name of Greek origin, symbolizing transformation—a meaning embodied by the butterfly, the sacred totem of renewal.
Transformation is the thread of my existence.
I have lived it in countless forms, shedding old skins and emerging anew each time.
I am a Priestess of Unconditional Love, carrying the essence of my incarnation cross and life purpose, as revealed through Human Design & Gene Keys.
I am here to recreate and transmute—to embrace the darkness as the butterfly does in its cocoon, emerging more vibrant, more alive, more awakened.
I have risen from the ashes like the phoenix, not once, but through every season of destruction and renewal—turning endings into beginnings, loss into creation, and shadow into light.
This is why I walk with others through their awakenings, guiding them through the fires of transformation into their fullest becoming.
In 2014, I founded A Shanti Ki with the intention of offering a sanctuary of peace—a space for healing, self-development, expansion, and transformation.
But as many of us know, the path of true spiritual awakening is rarely peaceful.
For those walking through shadow work and deep soul initiation, the journey is often one of destruction, loss, confusion, and isolation—where everything seems to be falling apart, and hope feels distant.
I know this terrain well. My own initiations have been battles of the inner warrior—times when my health collapsed, when life tested my heart, my faith, and even my will to remain in this world.
Through these trials, I came to understand a profound truth:
🔥 Inner peace is not found—it is cultivated. 🔥
When we heal ourselves, we heal the way we experience life.
My work is to empower you to step into your own healing, to bring clarity to your journey, and to hold space for your transformation.
Through deep listening, expanded perspectives, and the cultivation of divine patience, love, and resilience, I help you return to your most authentic, embodied self.
Essentially,
🌹 I am here to support you in becoming the truest version of yourself.
🔮You are here for a reason. Something within you already knows.

Who is Vanessa?
Vanessa is a woman devoted to exploration, awareness, the transformation of human consciousness, and connection into the depth, mystery, and magic of this life.
Her journey began in childhood, traveling between Colorado and South Africa, where she witnessed firsthand the stark contrasts of human experience—abundance and scarcity, privilege and struggle, access and deprivation.
These early encounters with poverty, inequality, and the vast spectrum of the human condition left an indelible mark. She questioned why some thrived while others suffered, why the world was so unevenly woven despite our shared human needs.
❤️🔥 This became the fire that fueled her life’s work—to transform the way we relate to ourselves, to each other, and to the world we live within.
In her 20s, Vanessa expanded her perspective through extensive international travel, immersing herself in the sacred wisdom, traditions, and ways of life across cultures. She became both a seeker and a witness, gathering insights that would later shape her approach to healing, guidance, and transformation.
From an early age, Vanessa has been a source of light—to the young, the old, friends, family, and even strangers whose paths briefly crossed hers. Her presence carries a natural calm, an openness, a kindness that invites others to soften into themselves.
Through years of deep study, she has acquired knowledge of ancient practices and sacred lineages from around the world, learning not only to navigate this life with grace but to support others in their own awakening—with certainty, compassion, and understanding.
🌿 The Intention Behind the Name
A Shanti Ki was born from a desire to weave together peace and energy, presence and transformation.
✨ Shanti (shawn-tee) is Sanskrit for peace, a reflection of my studies in traditional yoga and the deep stillness found within.
✨ Ki is the Japanese word for energy, inspired by my training in Reiki and the unseen forces that move through all things.
Together, A Shanti Ki symbolizes the fusion of peaceful energy—the harmony of stillness and movement, the grounding of presence and expansion.
🌟 Leaders Create Leaders
My work is not about creating dependence—it is about awakening your stability, your strength, and your trust in yourself.
I am here to support you when you seek guidance—but more importantly, I want you to leave each session feeling empowered, capable, and deeply connected to your own wisdom.
✨ You are divine essence embodied.
✨ You hold the answers within.
✨ You are more powerful than you’ve been led to believe.
My role is simply to remind you.
