Hi - I’m Victoria -
I am a Co-Founder, and the CEO, of Unveil Enterprises, the Lead Coach at The Aletheia Group - and the Principal/Curriculum creator at The Unveil Academy.
My journey began, as so many of them do for those of us who find careers in this space, with my own personal challenges. In my case, this took the shape of a shocking and life-threatening illness which began overnight when I was just 17 years old, and continued mis-diagnosed and mistreated for over a decade.
It was my pursuit of my own answers and to heal myself that led me into my studies. I was lucky enough to know - and train under - the founders of both Human Design and Gene Keys, allowing me to have an insight into self-awareness and the human condition, and mysticism and spirituality.
But this was only the beginning, so I continued studying, traversing the fields of NLP and CBT, social sciences, psychotherapy and psychoneuroimmunology. I was desperate to find a solution but what I was going through did not seem to be covered by my textbooks and training. After 5 separate hospitalizations and several near-death experiences I continued to be told it was all in my head. Even I was beginning to believe the medical professionals, until I stumbled deeper into the world of the nervous system, and discovered my own diagnosis, which was finally confirmed by doctors in the following months: I had a rare form of a connective tissue disorder, along with associated nervous and immune system dysregulation. I thought that, armed with these labels, I would get the support I needed.
I was very wrong. After several attempts at treatment which ended with even more problems, and fatigued with the medical establishment’s approach, I took matters into my own hands as I stepped into the world of Functional Medicine.
With the systems-based approached to physiology, I believed I had found a potential for a cure. As so many of my issues had been digestive I became adamant that the right level of dietary control would resolve my issues. Whilst there was marked improvement compared to the previous decade, things weren’t right. I embarked on extensive dental work, intensive chiropractic care and far more. Everything helped, but nothing fixed me. I was better enough - in fact, I had founded my own Functional Medicine practice and was achieving great success. But I knew something was missing, for myself and my clients.
It was at this point where I realized that I wasn’t utilizing my entire skillset. I’d almost forgotten about the nervous system in the pursuit of the dietary restrictions or ‘healthy’ practices. With one “ah-hah” moment where I recognized that you cannot fix a problem with the same energy upon which it is founded (stress/tension/control), I knew I needed to find a new way.
This was when understanding the nervous system became my obsession - and everything I have done from that point has respected the regulatory, sensing and ‘somato-emotional’ interpretive behavior and patterns of our autonomic nervous system. And if that sounds sciencey - it is. But it’s also deeply energetic, spiritual and, essentially, human.
As I worked explanations of trauma, tension and patterns of behavior, belief and thinking into my client work, drastic shifts started to occur. Suddenly I was supporting the whole human being, holistically, and the results spoke for themselves.
It was at this point that I listened to the call to return to my roots AND to integrate all that I had learnt since the early days of my illness. This was when my interweaving of multi-disciplinary healing journeys began - all founded on the interpersonal coaching container as the basis and environment for enacting deep transformation and personal healing.
I have worked in the healthcare setting for over 7 years, and have transitioned into supporting all kinds of people who are seeking change, support, aliveness… or just “something” that their soul senses is missing or ‘not quite there yet’… the work I do is about supporting human beings to remember, return to and finally recognize who they truly are and who they here to be.
If you would like to have some time with me - the easiest way is to book a Human Design Deep Dive to get a taste of who I am and what I do.
