Hello, I am Vanya.
I'm a financial journalist and coach who has written for Bloomberg, Financial Times magazines and The Wall Street Journal. After years of reporting on markets and investing my own money, I now coach women who want to understand how stock markets work — without the jargon, the pressure, or the assumption that you already know what you're doing.
This is my story
This might make you feel a bit better. When I tried reading the Financial Times for the first time, I couldn't understand a single story. The words were in English, but the way they came together may as well have been in a foreign language. Whether "shorting the market", "taking profit", or "a bullish run", none of these phrases connected to something that made sense.
I bought a few books on the economy and markets, but what I was reading wasn’t fully settling down in my head. It took many months of writing about the economy, companies and reporting from the floor of the LME exchange in London for the financial world to start making sense.
It shouldn’t have taken that long. What I could have done with at the time was a friendly face to explain to me how stocks work in what I would call "human" language. A person to tell me which bits of economics I need to understand to be able to follow what is happening in the markets, and which I can safely leave to big bank analysts.
I’ve set up Sharessavvy to be that friend, someone you can ask questions about markets, no matter how basic, without embarrassment, who will keep encouraging you until investing feels comfortable and genuinely yours. That knowledge will put the reins over your financial future in your hands.
Ready to start? I’d love to hear from you.

What our clients say
Fiona: I felt empowered
"Your coaching sessions made me feel truly empowered. I had read a few books about trading, but none of them felt practical. After just a few one-to-one sessions, I finally started to understand what I really needed to know about trading."
Tanya: I avoided a loss
"I bought some stocks on an app without really knowing what I was doing and inadvertendly ended up with a leveraged position. I didn't even know what leveraged meant until my broker called asking me to top up my account. Coaching helped me understand the risk - and move to a safer trade."
Mark: I learned to read results
Picking stocks used to give me a real headache. "Figuring out if a company was profitable felt overwhelming. I really liked how you simplified the analysis, which made it much easier to see if a stock was a good choice.”
