Vanessa has spent nearly a decade helping people rebuild their health through food, movement and everyday habits.

With nearly a decade of experience in health, movement, and nutrition, Vanessa Pinto has dedicated her career to guiding individuals toward sustainable well-being. She began her academic journey with a degree in Biology and a Master’s in Ecology from Lisbon University, later expanding her expertise through certifications as a personal trainer, yoga and meditation teacher, and health coach.

For the past 7 years, Vanessa has worked alongside Dr. Thomas Lodi and his clinic, An Oasis of Healing in Arizona, integrating evidence-based nutrition, movement, and lifestyle strategies into CFCs (Cancer) healing. She believes that true healing stems from addressing the body as a whole, supporting its innate ability to restore balance and vitality.

Vanessa specializes in empowering individuals to reclaim their health by incorporating nature-aligned practices into their daily lives. Whether through mindful movement, nourishing foods, or holistic lifestyle shifts, she helps clients create lasting, positive change.

Deeply inspired by the natural world, Vanessa values authentic connections with the earth, ourselves, and each other. Outside of her work, she enjoys traveling, hiking, spending time with loved ones, and playing with her dog, Peanut.

Vanessa also leads the weekly Body and Mind Healing sessions for members, together with Darren Scherbain.
