Hi, I'm Vaness Henry.I help people understand their bodies better.
My storyWhen I was little…
Two things happened that frightened me and shaped me into who I am today.
My dad died of cancer.And then at 16, I was diagnosed with cancer, too.
And even though I thought it was a weird coincidence… our cancers were unrelated. My direction in life has been impacted ever since. I grew into a parent, author, and shamanic practitioner. I specialize in Human Design Variable integration to restore individual wellness.
My perspectiveI’m always interested in the most practical route to healing.
Some of the best ways to curb illness and remedy disease is to set yourself up in a healing environment so illness has no space to exist in the first place. So — how do you do that?
Start by learning what you resonate with.
