Vanessa has written three books about grief.
Her first book 'Love Untethered' is for readers who have experienced a significant loss.
Her second book 'Supporting Your Grieving Client' is for the wellness practitioners who might work with them.
Just published:
Her third book 'When Grief Takes Everything: A Survival Guide to Devastating Loss' continues Vanessa’s own story of further losses, as well as offering guidance based on her experience as a holistic grief coach.
My hope is that my books might help others who have suffered devastating loss and that they will be able to relate to my story and find some of the advice offered to be of benefit. I hope too that my books help to raise awareness about the true nature of deep grief so that those who are grieving are always given the compassion and understanding they need.

Love Untethered
'Love Untethered' charts Vanessa's experience of the devastating and life-changing loss of her son. For anyone who is going through a bereavement, (or knows someone who is), 'Love Untethered' could provide a lifeline. It’s an honest and brave account of how you go on after someone important has died. Based on both her personal and professional experience, Vanessa provides advice on making the grieving process a little more bearable when your world has been shattered beyond recognition. She also highlights something often overlooked - that grief affects us profoundly, not only emotionally but sometimes physically and spiritually too.
'Love Untethered' offers hope that, although immensely challenging and not something you ever get over, it is possible to survive something as terrible as the death of your child and to find meaning and purpose in life as you live on without them. A life now sustained by untethered love.
