Vanessa LeMaistre’s path has been unconventional. Broken from years of childhood sexual assault, not having a father to protect her and an ultimate lack of self-worth, she woke up at the age of 25 as a lost soul, having dated a mix of men, including prominent celebrities who didn’t respect her worth. Deciding to wake up and step into her path, Vanessa began to practice yoga and spiritually enlighten herself through a series of texts, before suffering a tragic loss of her son, Kamden at 9 months. Throughout her journey, Vanessa, a shaman, provides inspirational insight on topics of motivation, grief & loss, psychedelic advocacy, Diversity & Inclusivity, and spirituality.

Vanessa is a scholar and has obtained a M.A. in Resilient Leadership which is a focus on sustainability and social justice. She is an author, a well-poised inspirational speaker, a shaman, philanthropist, advocate and an entrepreneur.

Vanessa's goal in her speaking career is to diversify the speaking platform with her presentations and to represent other POC (People of Color,) women.
