Practice Builders Episode 102 - Vanessa Rezende, CCHt
Presented By: Vanessa Rezende
Guest Speaker Vanessa Rezende, CCHt, yoga instructor, and sound healer, shares her journey from practicing law in Brazil to creating a practice grounded in service and personal fulfillment. Building a practice you love sometimes means questioning what you learned about success. She discovered that an old belief, that success requires sacrifice, and that made it difficult to trust work she genuinely enjoyed.
Vanessa encourages practitioners to plan career transitions carefully and use hypnotherapy themselves to explore beliefs about money and professional identity. Her own offerings grew from following what excited her. She describes blending yoga nidra’s progressive relaxation and imagery with sound healing and hypnotherapy, while encouraging others to study complementary practices that feel authentic to them.
Spirituality is central to her approach. Before sessions, Vanessa prays to step aside as an ego and become a clear vessel for words, metaphors, and imagery that serve the client. She studies scripts to expand her understanding, then draws on that learning to respond to the individual. She also shares how practicing hypnosis in Portuguese helped her connect with Brazilian clients. Her message is to bring your own background and interests into your work while building the trust that supports the therapeutic relationship.
For this week’s challenge, Vanessa invites you to handwrite a positive, present-tense affirmation 100 times before next Wednesday. Begin with “I am” if it fits, dream boldly, and say the words aloud as you write.
Take this week’s challenge to keep learning, growing, and strengthening your work with clients.
