Vanessa Couto and her family emigrated to the U.S. from Brazil when she was 10 years old. She lived in different parts of Brazil and the US. Before settling in Portland, Oregon, she lived in New York City for many years.

It was her love for astrology that she pursed her MA in Counseling Psychology (with an emphasis in Depth Psychology) from Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, CA. During her studies, she immersed herself in the works of C.G. Jung, Joseph Campbell and others who are now the foundation of her astrological coaching work.

She also has her MA in TESOL (Teaching English as a Second Language) from New York University, and BA in Social Communication and Advertising from PUC-MG (a Brazilian University).
