“Vanessa Wilde is gifted in her ability to intuitively sense what the room needs for confidence and safety to express themselves and have fun. In our recent work together, I saw first hand excellent results from an annual planning retreat for our organization.”

- Danny Fitzgerald, Regional Director SBDC

“She has lent her brilliance to the development of several improv-based workshops, empowering our staff and families to be fully present with their loved ones and finding creative ways to connect and harness the power of story in people who are dealing with memory loss.”

- Amy Abrams, Director of Education Alzheimer's San Diego

“Vanesaa is a great speaker.There's something magical about the way she teaches. She gently brings you out of your shell, out of your head, and eliminates the intimidation factor that you might otherwise expect when being vulnerable in front of other people.”

- Nichole MacDonald, CEO The Sash Bag

“Taking creative playshops with Vanessa is one of the best investments I’ve made in my personal and professional life. It’s playtime, laughter, connection, community, collaboration, vulnerability, therapy, expansion, and in the beginning, waaaay out of my comfort zone.”

- Virginia Rodriguez, Writer

“Vanessa’s class was a smorgasbord of improv “exercises,” playfulness, lots of laughter goofiness, and mindfulness— reminding us to let go of our inhibitions, our inner critics, and those “you shouldn’t” and “you can’t” voices in our heads. Valuable lessons.”
