Vanessa Sturman

She helps leaders, teams, and athletes achieve peak performance, maintain a healthy weight, improve mental well-being, and reduce fatigue through sustainable nutrition and behaviour changes.

Vanessa’s approach goes beyond traditional coaching with fun, engaging, and inclusive talks. She focuses on practical, enjoyable ways to incorporate healthy habits into busy lifestyles, catering to all dietary preferences. Her expertise lies in achieving optimal health without restrictive diets. As a person of colour, Vanessa deeply values diversity and draws on lessons from her immigrant mother and grandmother about celebrating food, budgeting, and minimising waste—all of which shape her sustainable nutrition philosophy.

In addition to her work as a respected 1:1 coach, Vanessa delivers inspiring talks, workshops, and group coaching for clients like Cambridge University, Brooks MacDonald, Octopus Energy, and the Francis Crick Institute. Her passion for performance, food, and the environment stems from her personal journey overcoming a binge-eating disorder as a teen. Educated at Cambridge University in Social and Biological Anthropology, Vanessa also ran a successful plant-based recipe website and has worked as both a Sustainability and Behaviour Change Consultant. She brings this rich expertise to help others achieve lasting, transformative change.
