I’m looking for 3 women who are ready to make a change.
What if you could actually see how your body responds to the way you eat and live?
I'm looking for 2–3 women to work with me for five weeks — for free*
I'm currently completing my Master Metabolic Coach certification with Dr. Mindy Pelz and Nancy Levin, and I'm opening 3 spots for my practicum.
If you are selected as my practice client, we'll work together to help you better understand your own metabolism and what your body needs to thrive.
You'll learn:
how your body responds to food and fasting
begin to recognize what's driving your energy, hunger and cravings
experiment with simple changes that can help you feel stronger, more energized and more confident in your body
Along the way, we'll use tools like food tracking, blood sugar and ketone measurements to give you real information about your body and what works for you.
This program will be done one-to-one either online or in person in Basel, Switzerland.
*Coaching with Vanessa is free during this program, but you will need to buy a Keto-Mojo in order to track your blood sugar and ketones while you practice shifting your diet.
Applications close Sunday, October 11, 2026.
A quick note before you apply: I can only select 2–3 FREE Practice Clients.
Because this coaching is part of my certification practicum, there are specific eligibility requirements.
Submitting an application does not guarantee a place. I’ll personally review each application and will contact you for a short conversation before confirming whether we’re a good fit to work together.
If selected, you’ll need to commit to the full five-week program from November 3–December 11, 2026.
This includes five 60-minute Zoom sessions, food tracking, agreed-upon actions between sessions.
You will need to purchase a Keto-Mojo glucose and ketone meter to track blood sugar and ketones (about 100euros or 120USD.)
If you’re curious, apply. We can connect and chat. No obligation to sign up ❤️

Hello, I’m Vanessa, Women’s Health Coach
I help women to feel stronger, more energized and more confident in their bodies using nutrition, movement, fasting and lifestyle strategies .
My own health journey started in my 30s with Hashimoto's thyroiditis and a terribly slow metabolism. Now, at 53 and navigating perimenopause myself, I've experienced just how much my hormones have impacted my metabolism, energy, sleep, body composition, and vagina. We need to really understand what’s happening in our own body!
Curiosity shapes everything I do.
I know how frustrating it can be when the things that used to work suddenly don't.
I want to help you understand your own body, to experiment, pay attention, ask better questions and discover what actually works for you.
I'm a certified Health Coach, Yoga Teacher, Menopause Yoga Teacher and Fast Like a Girl Coach, and I'm currently completing my Master Metabolic Coach certification with Dr. Mindy Pelz and Nancy Levin.
This next chapter of my work feels especially exciting because it brings together metabolic health, nervous system regulation, food, fasting, movement, hormones and the power of coaching to create real change.
I look forward to sharing it with you.
Vanessa x
Frequently Asked Questions
When does it start? Your first session will take place between November 3–8, and we'll complete the five-session coaching process by December 11, 2026.
Is it really free?
Yes. The five weeks of private coaching are completely free because this is part of my Master Metabolic Coach certification practicum. You will, however, need to purchase a Keto-Mojo glucose and ketone meter.
Do I need experience with fasting?
No — actually, the opposite! For this practicum, I specifically need women who are new to fasting.
What do I need to commit to?
Five 60-minute Zoom sessions between November 3 and December 11, plus food tracking and some agreed-upon experiments and actions between sessions.
Do I need to live in Switzerland?
No. Our sessions are online via Zoom, so you can participate from anywhere as long as our schedules work together. If you are in Basel, I would love to meet up in person :-)
What will we work on?
We'll focus on your metabolism through yummy food, gentle fasting, blood sugar tracking and ketone tracking. We will look at your everyday habits to help you better understand your metabolism and what works for your body, and what you can shift.
Can anyone apply?
Almost! Because this is part of my certification, there are specific eligibility requirements around fasting experience, pregnancy/breastfeeding, eating disorders, certain medications, addiction and our personal relationship. The short application will help us determine whether you're eligible.

If you’d still like to check in with me, I’d love to connect. You can book a free check in here.
WHY IS VANESSA DOING THIS SINCE SHE IS ALREADY A COACH?
Let me explain… Since going through perimenopause, I have noticed my old health coach tricks no longer work.
Dealing with hormones is a whole other challenge. By working with Dr. Mindy Pelz as my hormone and fasting mentor and Nancy Levin as the master coach, I am honing my skills in how to help women in midlife really shift their health towards feeling REALLY GOOD. I was tired of just surviving.
Adding in fasting and ketobiotic eating has really changed things for me.
