About
Hi, I'm Vanessa!
Founder of The Inner Beauty School and the voice behind Silver Liberation
my story
For over 30 years, I colored my hair. I even used to joke that I’d have a “rocking-chair fund” set aside for dye when I was old.
Today, my silver hair is more than a color. It’s a symbol of liberation. A reminder that freedom comes when we let go of what no longer serves us.
I never thought I’d be the woman who would grow out her silvers on purpose. And yet... here I am.
What began as a decision about hair turned into the most unexpected transformation of my life.
This journey has never been just about color. It’s about shedding decades of old beliefs, what beauty means, what makes us lovable, how aging should look.
It’s about taking off the masks, both inside and out.
- The inner masks made of shame, regret, and perfectionism.
- The outer masks made of insecurity about our looks, our age, and the impossible standards we’ve been taught.
The grow-out wasn’t always easy. At times it was uncomfortable and confronting. But I chose to see it as my chrysalis, the messy in-between that eventually leads to metamorphosis.
And it did.
I believe beauty isn’t about hiding or performing. It’s about becoming. About living in a way that feels confident, joyful, and free.
Through storytelling, community, and the tools I share here, my mission is to help women redefine aging, embrace their worth, and live a life that feels radiant and unapologetically their own.
That’s why I created The Inner Beauty School, a space where women can learn to embrace their radiance from the inside out. My mission is to help women stop fighting themselves, and instead discover how to shine in every season of life.

WHAT I
BELIEVE
LET'S BE REAL
Aging isn’t something to fear. It’s something to embrace.
Every woman deserves to feel confident, beautiful, and deeply loved.
Wellness isn’t about restriction. It’s about energy, vitality, and joy.
Beauty and skincare are not about chasing youth, they’re about caring for yourself, enhancing your radiance, and celebrating the skin you’re in.
Style is self-expression, never a mask to hide behind.
If you’ve landed here, you’re probably searching for more than tips and trends.
You’re ready to feel more comfortable in your skin. More joyful about the future. More free in who you are.
So let this be your reminder: you haven’t let yourself go. You’re setting yourself free.
