Vanessa was born in the South of France, where she grew up in a privileged setting surrounded by the shores of the Atlantic Ocean and lush maritime pine forests. Immersed in this unique ecosystem teeming with diverse fauna and flora, Vanessa developed a deep connection with nature and an early awareness of the importance of its preservation. Her passion for biodiversity and conservation grew through her training in these fields and was further enriched by her travels in North Africa, where she discovered an interest in plants and herbalism.

This journey also rekindled her connection to her grandmother’s teachings, who had introduced her to magnetic healing and a profound relationship with the earth and nature.

Vanessa’s global explorations took her to various countries, where she trained in traditional Asian and Middle Eastern arts, as well as traditional and quantum therapies. Upon returning to France, she deepened her research into art and ethnic cultures and eventually founded her school. A few months later, she collaborated with others to create a space in France featuring vegetable gardens, medicinal plants, a mini farm, a school of living arts, and a personal development center.

Her curiosity and dedication soon led her to eco-construction. Vanessa studied alternative solutions to address economic, energy, and ecological challenges by using sustainable, local, and non-polluting materials, while fostering creativity and innovation. She embraced the philosophy of "reinventing our way of life every day." This vision culminated in the birth of the HEM Eco Farm Stay project, which, after years of research, found its home in her beloved India.

HEM Eco Farm Stay is a holistic retreat designed for personal and communal reinvention. It is a harmonious space that integrates eco-construction, organic farming, personal development, healing, and creative activities. The center fosters a holistic connection between individuals, communities, and nature, promoting sustainable and mindful living.
