Police searching for missing therapist who Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop once recommended

PUBLISHED: | UPDATED:

A therapist who was once recommended by Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop lifestyle website is missing in England, according a report.

Vanessa Hodge, 49, was last seen by a neighbor on May 29, according to Britain’s The Times.

Hodge’s car, a beige Fiat Panda, was found several days later at a hotel in the coastal town of Sommerset.

“It’s just devastating,” a friend told The Times, adding that she had texted with Hodge a few days before her disappearance. “She is an incredibly kind and sensitive person. I really hope there’s some good news soon.”

Other friends said that Hodge had moved outside of London to set up a wellness retreat and that it was “out of character” for her to disappear.

Hodge’s practice in the upscale Marylebone neighborhood of London was once praised on Goop as “incredibly relaxing for anyone” and described her as a “a wholly intuitive practitioner” of “yoga, craniosacral therapy, mindfulness, and psychotherapy.”

Avon and Sommerset police are investigating but called on the public for assistance.

“We are still appealing to anyone with information to come forward,” police said.
