Vanessa Cornell, Founder of NUSHU

Vanessa Cornell is a teacher, thought leader, and masterful space holder who convenes women through her groups, courses, and retreats to unlock their power and purpose. Vanessa graduated from Harvard and went on to work at Goldman Sachs. She then dedicated ten years to growing, birthing and raising her five children. After a lifetime of overachieving and overgiving, Vanessa felt deeply disconnected from herself and experienced a breaking apart of everything she had known. Since her personal awakening, Vanessa has dedicated herself to giving women the tools and confidence to step into their power and lead lives of joy and purpose. In 2017 she founded NUSHU, a women’s community grounded in wellness and empowerment that hosts retreats around the world. Vanessa’s three loves in life are herself, her work, and her family; her incredible husband and five quirky, individual, sometimes challenging but always interesting and lovable children.
