Meet Vanessa A. Young | Energetic Light Worker, Hypnosis Therapist & Reiki Practitioner

We had the good fortune of connecting with Vanessa A. Young and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Vanessa, is your business focused on helping the community? If so, how?
Hello! My business, Humbled & Joyous helps the community by providing a safe space for everyone to be able to speak their truth & go inward. I believe that creating this space where others can communicate without any barriers of judgment definitely helps people be able to see themselves in their very own inner light. I chose to start this business because I’ve always loved seeing others perspectives from their very own life experiences & learnings. I know because I am able to listen to others without placing my very own experiences or beliefs on them widens my ability to comprehend from numerous different people and their backgrounds. It keeps me open to recording knowledge, learning & sharing. I enjoy assisting others in expanding their consciousness and diving deep within themselves for their very own peace and comfort that comes from self awareness.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I am a woman of many talents and what I would like to call gifts. I began my first business as making candles and being able to utilize my creativity in decorating them and really making them customizable to each and every order. My candle business actually opened the doors for me to acknowledge the courage I needed in order to expand my very own consciousness and self healing. This then lead me to adding to my business more of a spiritual offering to the public. Expanding into this was definitely not easy. It’s not something that you hear of every day and it’s definitely different than your typical business. I began investing in myself. Spiritually, emotionally and financially.  I soon received certificates for Hypnosis Therapy training and Reiki energy healing. I always knew that deep within me this would by far be something I would love doing for others! I began seeing the true benefit of what people can experience when they decide to go within themselves and choose to listen & trust their very own inner voice. What sets me apart from others is that I believe in you and I will hold a safe space for you. I believe you are capable of everything that you want and desire in this world plus more! I would love to be able to assist you along your current journey within your own self. Some of the lessons that I have learned would really have to be the importance of being financially accountable for my own business and responsible. This means writing everything down from the very beginning. It will save you so much time and it will save you the headache of having to go back and look for certain receipts and papers and emails. Get super organized first with folders, labels, and binders. I would love the world to know that first and foremost you are not alone wherever you are at today. We are all so much more similar than we are different. It is OK to ask for help. It is OK to say “no”. Your truth in what you speak matters. My number one mission through this whole endeavor is to continue dropping love into this world daily.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If you were to visit my hometown Reno Nevada, you definitely would have to take a trip to see Lake Tahoe. If you love water and you love being outdoors Lake Tahoe is massive and it is beautiful. If you enjoy great food there’s a lot of yummy choices that you actually will have access to here some of the best food will come from the small hole in the wall restaurants. I also really enjoy going shopping at small local owned businesses because everyone is always so ready to share their story and welcomes you with a smile. One of the greatest things about this city is that we support local businesses 110%.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would love to take this time to thank my sisters & a few friends that helped me brainstorm and listened to me go back and forth in decisions that I felt I just didn’t have the answers to. I appreciate these strong individuals so much because they never placed judgment and never told me I couldn’t do what I wanted to do. I also would love to thank a previous boss that I would actually like to call a mentor for investing in me and my growth when it comes to my professionalism & business knowledge. Without the knowledge of that I don’t think I would have ever thought I could be where I am today and where I will be in the very near future. Lastly I would love to thank Lori B! This women has and always will be such a divine blessing in my life! She always has heard me, allowed me to feel what I need to feel & never has imprinted her very own beliefs onto me. I wish I could have her on a little key chain with me all the time! She has helped me expand my very own self confidence, awareness and consciousness so much! I definitely would not be who I am today without her.
