Bonjour, I’m Vanessa
Style & Beauty Coach for women over 40 who want to feel fabulous, fearless and free!
I wasn’t born confident and fearless—I built her.
I had to learn it all from scratch. Bit by bit, I rewrote the story I was telling myself. I discovered my style, redefined my beauty, and built a mindset that felt bold, elegant, and entirely my own. That’s why I’m in the best position to guide other women through the same transformation. Because confidence isn’t something you’re born with—it’s something you choose to create.
With over two decades of experience across fashion, beauty, and coaching, I help women over 40 reconnect with themselves, reinvent their style and reveal the fabulous woman they truly are. My approach is bold, holistic, and deeply personal. This isn’t about chasing trends or trying to dress younger. It’s about becoming the most confident version of you.
Outside of style and coaching, you’ll find me with my dogs, soaking up nature and finding joy in the little things. My love for animals reflects how I live—and how I coach—with heart, connection, and care.
Let’s make it

My Journey
Born in the picturesque south of France, I grew up surrounded by effortless style and timeless beauty. What started as a love for fashion and beauty quickly turned global after living internationally in many of the fashion capitals of the world—Tokyo sparked my fascination with culture and refinement, London sharpened my eye for fashion, and Sydney taught me the power of authenticity and individuality.
From marketing for a brand that designed the iconic Hermès "Fourre-Tout" tote to managing recruitment for the world’s most recognised luxury fashion houses—including LVMH, Kering, and L’Oréal—I’ve seen the inner workings of style, beauty, and confidence at every level. But I wanted more than the surface. I craved transformation.
After relocating to Australia in 2015, I stepped away from corporate and into my passion. I earned certifications in Makeup Artistry (Sydney Makeup Academy) and Personal Styling (Australian Style Institute) and brought everything together—style, beauty, mindset, and coaching—to support women like you.
My Philosophy
Style isn’t just about what you wear—it’s how you show up. And beauty? It’s not about covering up—it’s about letting your true self shine through.
My method blends deep mindset work with personal style and beauty guidance to help you reclaim your confidence and express who you are without apology. The journey moves through three pillars:
My extensive experience in the Fashion and Beauty industry includes working with renowned clients like LVMH, Richemont Group, and Hermes.

“This course is to help me apply my make up for my mature skin, very different from a youthful complexion. Vanessa is very knowledgeable and explains things well. I enjoyed my time with her learning about products best to suit my skin and she aims to help use your own make up without having to go out and buy a lot of new product. Very good value for money.”

“I learned so much in this course. Vanessa is passionate and enthusiastic about what she does, highly skilled, and gave me a lot of confidence. I finally know how to use my make-up properly, and have a list of great recommendations. On top of all that, her apartment is in a beautiful location. Highly recommend!”
