TERRELL, TX, October 30, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Vanessa Figueiredo has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Ms. Figueiredo has established a distinguished career in the field of senior fitness and wellness, serving as a senior fitness personnel trainer since 2017. In this capacity, she is self-employed and works primarily with seniors, dementia and individuals living with Parkinson's disease. Her approach centers on keeping clients active through tailored physical therapy sessions conducted several times daily, depending on each client's condition. Ms. Figueiredo considers her most notable achievement to be helping her clients regain mobility and independence.

Overlapping with her current role, Ms. Figueiredo spent 37 years as a personal concierge from 1988 to 2025. From 2006 to 2008, she owned and operated Vintage Hair Salon and served as a cosmetology instructor at Trinity Valley Community College from 2001 to 2009. In this academic setting, Ms. Figueiredo educated aspiring professionals in the principles and practices of cosmetology, contributing to the development of future practitioners in the industry.

Ms. Figueiredo's professional expertise is supported by a robust educational background and multiple certifications. In 2025, she earned a certificate in the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, equipping her with specialized knowledge in cognitive health evaluation. That same year, she became a certified personal trainer through the International Sports Sciences Association and obtained a guided group meditation certificate from the same institution. Her commitment to holistic wellness is further demonstrated by her credentials as a functional nutrition lifestyle practitioner and functional nutrition counselor from the Functional Nutrition Alliance in 2023.

Ms. Figueiredo's drive for excellence is rooted in personal experience. She attributes much of her professional success to a deep determination to shield her family from hardships she witnessed another family endure, a formative event that inspired her to pursue extensive self-education through books, classes and online resources. This journey led her to begin speaking at women's groups, marking the start of her advocacy and professional path.

Beyond her career achievements, Ms. Figueiredo has demonstrated long-standing civic engagement as a volunteer with Individual Care of Texas for 15 years. Through this role, she has contributed time and effort toward supporting individuals in need within her community. In her personal life, she enjoys spending time with her husband Mark and their children Samson, David, Hannah and Abigail. She enjoys homeschooling her youngest child and continues to volunteer in various capacities.

Looking ahead, Ms. Figueiredo aims to expand support for caregivers by increasing dialogue and providing additional training in dementia care. She seeks to empower caregivers with knowledge about recognizing cognitive decline and promoting activities, like exercise, that can enhance well-being for those under their care.
