Welcome to Bearing
Tree Wholistic
Learning: Root to Rise!
I help learners cultivate strong roots for limitless
growth. My personalized coaching empowers teens
and young adults to unlock their strengths,
overcome challenges, and thrive in all areas of life.
From academic success to personal development,
I’m here to guide them on their journey.
Let’s start this transformative journey together.
Meet Your Coach
As a former high school science teacher with over 10 years of experience, I witnessed firsthand the struggles teens and young adults face—academic pressures, uncertainty about the future, and the challenge of balancing school, life, and personal growth. These experiences led me to become a Wholistic NeuroGrowth Learning and Life Success Coach, where I guide students beyond academics, helping them develop confidence, executive function skills, emotional intelligence, and resilience as they navigate life’s transitions.
With a Bachelor of Science in Geology, credentials in science education, and certification as a Wholistic NeuroGrowth Learning and Life Success Coach, I combine my background in science with a wholistic, student-centered approach to empower young people. Through personalized coaching, I help teens and young adults gain clarity, overcome challenges, and build the skills they need to thrive—in school, in life, and in their future.

The Meta-Learning DeStress Method is a
wholistic approach that enhances learning while
managing stress. It involves:
- Developing deep roots will allow you to stay on your feet despite life’s rapid pace and endless hurdles. To do that, you must cultivate curiosity and become a lifelong learner. Kohila Sivas sits down with Venessa Smith to discuss the right way to guide children on planting their roots deep and standing tall.

Testimonials
“I remember she shared with me a tool I
will never forget. The tool was E + R = O:
Events + Response = Outcome. She
taught me that my chosen response to
events that happen in my life equal the
outcome. So, I get to choose how I
respond and in turn choose my
outcome!”
— Brandon I.
“Coach V helped me
more than she even
knows!”
“We really appreciate your patience and
continued work with him. He is an
awesome kid.“
— Margaret B.
“Thank you for all
you are doing for
our grandson! We
cannot share our
gratitude enough!”
“Coach V was able to teach me inadvertently by the things my kids
learned and were so excited to share with me after each session!
She was able to teach in a way that they could understand and grasp.
My kids felt comfortable asking questions when they needed to as
well.”
— Elle F.
“My daughters absolutely loved
working with Coach V!!”
