Vannessa Misso-Veness – Founder Of Cascade Train Teach Learn
Parenting in Hong Kong can feel like a relentless race — between school pressures, long work hours, and the constant hum of city life, it’s easy for parents to feel stretched thin. That’s where Vannessa steps in. Through her practice, she supports overwhelmed parents in reconnecting with themselves, so they can raise emotionally healthy kids without losing their minds.
Her work is less about ‘telling you how to parent’ and more about helping you step into the version of yourself who parents with intention, calm, and clarity. Through a mix of 1:1 sessions and community-driven workshops, Vannessa guides parents in unpacking the deeper emotional patterns that hold them back. By combining conscious parenting philosophy with evidence-based tools such as NLP and neuroscience, she helps parents feel more grounded, resilient, and emotionally present – creating the kind of environment where children naturally thrive.
Upcoming Event Spotlight: Thrive In Parenting Summit 2025
On Saturday, 18 October 2025 (9am to 12:30pm) at the AIA Vitality Hub in Central, Vannessa will host the Thrive In Parenting Summit 2025 – a first-of-its-kind gathering designed to bring parents and experts together for honest conversations, evidence-based strategies, and practical tools on topics such as discipline, screen addiction, burnout, and supporting children to thrive.
