Vanessa is a yoga loving, blog writing, coffee drinking Alpharetta mom. Originally from the Chicago metro area, she moved to Atlanta in 2005.

You can find her in the Atlanta area sipping coffee (or wine after the kid's bedtime), taking a yoga class, or finding solace in the aisles of Target. She recounts her wellness journey in her blog shesnsync.com.
