About Vanessa Davis BA Hons Post Grad DipSocSci (Msc equiv USA)

In her role as Practitioner Psychologist/Systemic Psychotherapist working for the NHS (National Health Service UK) Vanessa developed an interest in the relationship between mental health and spirituality.

Vanessa apprenticed in Shamanic Practice with Howard and Elsa Malpas, (Isle of Avalon Foundation) to Advanced level and assisted them on training courses. She is a student of Jose and Lena Stevens and Anna Stevens-Harrington (The Power Path School of Shamanism). She remains indebted to the Shipibo nation of Peru and the Wixaritari (Huichol) people of Mexico who have generously shared their traditions and wisdom with her, her husband Alan, and many others who are on this path.

Vanessa is an “end of life companion” supporting people who are dying, their loved ones and carers. She is a HELD (Help from an End of Life Doula) trained practitioner and offers counsel to this training program and it’s participant (mydeathdoula.com).

Vanessa sees healing as an integrative process, encompassing physical, emotional, mental, cultural and spiritual systems.

She meets clients for individual, couple and group sessions as she accompanies them on their journey into stillness, health, wellness. and reconnection to their inner wisdom.

What is Pressence?

Deep within each human being is an intrinsic nature. This is often referred to as one’s essence. It is our essence that contains our unique blueprint, that which is considered to be a divine aspect of our creator.

There are times when we feel inspired, on track, somehow supported in our passions, our work and have a sense of purpose, direction and meaning in our lives.

There are times when we feel lost, disconnected and adrift.

With the many challenges that are experienced during a lifetime it is hardly surprising that we lose the plot and forget who we really are.

At such times we may ask ourselves “Why aren’t things working out?” “What am I missing?”

Pressence is the art of reconnection to an indispensable quality of being. In paying attention to our essence, that which is always there (because it is who we truly are) we embark on a healing journey into wholeness, reconnecting to our essential self.

As teachers and coaches of Pressence we will support you on your journey. Pressence holds you in the process of accessing your highest potential enabling you to face the challenges and obstacles that we inevitably meet along the way.

Presence (being here and now) + Essence (your divine nature) = Pressence (highest expression in this lifetime)
