Vanessa Orsborn (M.Couns, MRPharmS)
The Evolution Space was founded by Vanessa Orsborn who has a Master of Counselling from the University of Canberra. Vanessa is a qualified pharmacist (United Kingdom) and a qualified Pilates and Barre Instructor with a focus on rehabilitation from injuries and the way stress and emotions are held within the body. This background enables Vanessa to take a holistic approach and view to the client’s needs and contexts.
Through Vanessa’s medical background, she has a deep understanding of the mind body connection and the need to work at both of these levels to obtain health and wellbeing. Vanessa understands the impact of medications and their side effects on our physical and mental health.
Vanessa brings her professional and personal experience to her work in Bayside as a therapist, having worked professionally in addiction management, navigated through separation and divorce, re-partnering and raising three children alone and then in a blended family context. Vanessa has also experienced physical injury and chronic pain and has healed herself from the underlying source of the condition.
