Hi, THERE

I’m Vaness Henry

I identify afflictions in the body’s energy field using the Shamanic Arts and the Human Design Bodygraph. I practice physical and metaphysical remedies to restore wellness and promote meaningful change.

Five things to know

About Me

I’m a Cancer Survivor

At 16, I was diagnosed with a blood cancer, shortly after losing my dad to malignant melanoma. As cancer dominated my life, I was led to becoming a spokesperson for the Canadian Cancer Society, speaking to the financial effects that illnesses have on families. I became a motivational speaker across the Prairie school system, focusing on educating children on ways to tune in to their body awareness.

I’m a Journalist

As soon as I entered remission, I went to college to become a journalist. I wanted to invest in the skills I needed to tell my story, and learn how to investigate what happened to my body and spirit. My poetry has been inducted into the Manitoba Legislative Library to be used as an educational resource for future generations, and my fiction and non-fiction, books, articles and essays have been published in numerous magazines and creative anthologies around the world.

I’m a Producer

I produce shamanic soundtracks that deliver others into radical states of healing. With my education in music, journalism and broadcast production, my husband and I started Six-Two Studio, a Podcast Production company dedicated to helping creative entrepreneurs elevate their sound.

Members in my Wellness Club can plug into unlimited shamanic healing treatments using my Frequency Bar.

I was recruited to teach in College and Universities

With my online success as a journalist, I fell into entrepreneurship and was invited to teach multiple terms of Digital and Social Media Marketing at the University of Winnipeg, and Second Year Web Design in the Creative Communications Program at Red River College.


I’m developing theories on the energetics of cancer development

Due to my personal experiences and my niche of work, I’ve analyzed a high volume of Bodygraphs of people who’ve had cancer. This collection of data prompted me to develop a thesis on the predictable patterns and maneuvers that cancer will take on depending on a person’s energetic blueprint. Through consistent pattern tracking, experimental proactive approaches to body care began to reveal themselves. I am currently in a phase of massive data collection through working with real people.
