Vanessa Carrera

PUPA Focusing Trainee Vanessa Carrera is an artist, poet and writer.

Vanessa began her embodiment journey through the practice of Trauma Informed Yoga and was soon after introduced to Inner Relationship Focusing through a local network of friends. Noticing her inner creative life and her external self-image begin to integrate she decided to continue her dedication to Focusing. She believes it is a practice which can be used to unlock the deep treasures that await us in the body. This can lead to a true expression of our whole being, one soul connected to all living creatures.

Her work is deeply supported by her own practice of Focusing and has an emphasis on noticing the resonance of her art. She believes it is our birthright to feel the freedom of self exploration and to live a creative life full of art. Her passions are rooted in liberation of creativity, self expression and empowerment. She has witnessed how focusing can help society move towards expanding our emotional capacities for others. Our inner knowledge holds wisdom not only for our own personal lives but for those spaces we enter in the future. The smallest change in ourselves can ripple out into the world in mysterious and colorful ways. Her dedication is to continue to offer and hold a safe space for our own treasures to reveal themselves to us and the world.

Vanessa is available for 1:1 Focusing sessions on Wednesdays (9 am-12 pm), Thursdays (9 am-5 pm) and Sundays (9 am-5 pm), Eastern time.
