Vanessa Kelly

Vanessa Kelly was born in 1970. At the age of two and a half, she lost her baby sister to SIDS. This one event, caused a Domino effect of unfortunate events.

Despite the difficulties involved in her growing up, Vanessa was intelligent and creative, easily succeeding at school. She went on to study architectural drafting in Perth and eventually, combined her passion for the plant world, with her natural flair for design, building a successful business, in Landscape design and construction.

As traumatic events continued to both grow and haunt Vanessa, by the age of 40, she had all but given up. She became consumed with thoughts of suicide and ultimately fell into the complex world of addiction.

Determined to find a way back to full health, driven by her love of her children, she began her journey. She began researching and experimenting with psychedelic medicines. Her enquiries led her to a Bwiti Tribe, in the deepest jungle of Gabon in Central Western Africa. After many years of trying, she made her way into the Jungle, where she experienced healing, on an impossible level.

Whilst in the village, Vanessa healed with Iboga and adopted a series of principles from the Bwiti teachings, that have given her a toolkit for managing her life.
