Leidy Vanessa Passarella

BY MADELAINE WINZER

It was a turning point for Vanessa as she became excited about what the future held for both her and her daughter. Her biggest inspiration during this time was her first teacher, Angelica Skoberla, who was tough on her but taught her to believe in herself. Angelica emphasised with Vanessa’s situation and allowed her to bring her daughter to the courses where she acted as a model. Vanessa enjoyed her studies and qualified in a range of beauty treatments, with massage being the treatment she resonates with the most today. She now holds qualifications in aromatherapy, reflexology, hot stone/ hot bamboo, baby massage, and chair massage to name a few. Devoted to being the best massage therapist she can be, Vanessa continuously educates herself by attending courses while perfecting her own style. She loves to help people, and the best way she knows how to do that is through massage.

Currently, Vanessa works throughout London for businesses, agencies, and private clients, while travelling to the odd festival here and there to share her talents. She occasionally competes in massage competitions, with her most notable achievements including winning a silver medal in the chair category at the National Massage Championships 2018. Following in her father’s footsteps, she also works as a teacher at International Massage Education where her role is to share her knowledge and inspire the next generation of massage therapists. She is a lady who puts everything into her work, and it will be interesting to see what she does next.
