Please send email inquires to: soulalivebarrie@gmail.com I spent many years trying to appease others and in turn I wasn't living the authentic life I wished to live. I wanted and needed to be me, but I hid behind masks and labels and behind a broken smile. After experincing health issues for nearly four years and finding myself in a pattern of attracting unhealthy relationships that did not severe my soul purpose, I awoke one day and was hit with a hard truth. I needed to live my truth and be who I truly was. I needed to follow my heart and my dreams.  I needed to live fully awake and boundlessly alive. This set me on a spiritual journey of re-connecting within and finding myself.  I hope this book brings you guidance and new insight that will help awaken within you a truth that may be quietly waiting to be heard. You are not alone. There comes a time for many of us when we question our existence and our purpose. We wake one day to discover we aren't living our authentic truth, and we feel there's more to this life, more to who we are. This book offers you the gentle guidance your beautiful heart desires. Vanessa Marie Dewsbury is a Reiki Master/Teacher, Mindset and Self Development Coach and Author. Inspired by her health issues in 2012, Vanessa began her journey of natural healing after unsuccessful attempts to find answers through Western medicine.

This internal shift not only healed her health issues but it awakened a well of wisdom and newfound perspectives on life which she openly shares with those around her.

"heart is where the home is," is a spiritual and soulful read, written with pure elegance and gentle grace. "I was truly inspired by this book. I have read many books over the past ten years on living a happy life as I suffer from depression and none of them have awakened me the way this book did. I read it quickly because I couldn't wait to turn each page to see what was next. I'm currently reading it for a second time and taking my time with each page to thoroughly enjoy Vanessa's messages and beautiful words. I was on the verge of mini "midlife crisis" before reading heart is where the home is, and since reading this book I have made some lifestyle changes and can honestly say that today I am feeling wonderful being myself and have made some positive plans for my future."Vanessa Marie Dewsburyvanessamariedewsbury@gmail.comvanessamariedewsbury.com
