"Vanessa is a talented harpist, a versatile singer and a wonderful collaborator.

Her musical skill and knowledge, as well as her sensitivity as a musician and listener, made her harp accompaniment a moving and effective enhancement of my stories. It was a pleasure to work with Vanessa, from my initial proposal to the final performance. The audience was enchanted during her set of songs. I would be delighted to hear Vanessa anytime, anywhere, as a solo performer and as a partner with other artists."

Vanessa means 'Butterfly' in Greek. Papillon means 'Butterfly' in French.

Butterflies embody beauty,

resiliency, and strength

through their own

becoming.

​

With every fibre of her being, Vanessa guides from an honouring heart space:

your voice matters, your voice has inherent worth,

and singing is your birthright.

What is it like to work with Vanessa?

​

Vanessa brought our guests together in song helping to heighten the feeling of being connected in community and allowing everyone to participate in the ceremony. The songs were personal, sweet and celebratory. Vanessa masterfully created a safe space and infused the experience with joy. We would highly recommend her services to anyone wanting to add a unique and meaningful element to their gathering.
