You can live a life full of love and joy. However, to experience a joyous life you first have to decide that you can.
We grow up being taught that if we believe and act like others then we will be OK. So that is we do. We slide into the mold that has been presented to us, learn the language that everyone speaks and dream the dreams that were created for us. Eventually we realize that we are anxious, disgruntled, and in pain. We discover that we don't know who we are and we ask ourselves “what am I doing and why do I feel so horrible?” These are the critical questions that can start your journey to discovering the authentic you.
Welcome to my website! I am a certified life coach and spiritual coach who specializes in addiction recovery, pain recovery, yoga, and meditation. I am here to help you remove the obstacles that are preventing you from achieving your goals. My passion and purpose is to help you discover your true self and find out what makes you so incredibly amazing.
To know what? For a while I thought that it was to know the world and every life experience that could be had. I traveled and studied and explored but nothing satisfied me. I was always sad, angry, and confused. No matter what great experience I was having it was never good enough.
I ran around for about 20 years trying to fill the endless void inside me, but nothing was working. I eventually found myself hitting a rock bottom that would inevitably try to take my life. I realized that I needed to make a change and quick. The problem was that not only did I not know HOW to change, I didn’t believe that I COULD change. Fortunately I was stubborn and desperate, so I kept trying.
Over time I realized that my new mantras were true and what I was raised to think was false. I studied, trained, and practiced various forms of healing: yoga, counseling, 12-step programs, and spiritual seeking to name a few. As I deepened my studies I began to experiment and became more aware of how my thoughts and emotions affected the way my body felt. I was astonished! As an example, I was in a mental-yoga session when I had reached a very deep and old belief. As the belief began to unravel, I felt the tension all along my spine soften. It took a while for the evidence to sink in but I eventually came to accept that the pain and tension in my body was a result of how I perceived the world. It was this pain that had made it so difficult for me to become free from my addictions.
Life changes every day, and it is a beautiful thing. I have a passion for discovering new tools and resources for healing and my dharma (my purpose in life) is to share those tools and experiences with you. Your journey is YOUR’s. Every person’s path is different. It is my responsibility as your coach to help you figure out what works for you.
I am a certified life coach. My training and years of coaching experience has taught me various tools and exercises that can help deepen your understanding of yourself and assist with breaking through blocks and dropping walls.
Spiritual coaching helps guide the individual deeper within. Everyone has the ability to connect with their Higher Self but sometimes we just need a little guidance in remembering how.
Anyone can meditate! You just have to find which technique works best for you. With many years of experience and a curiosity for exploring, I can help you discover a practice that best suits your needs.
I have been practicing yoga for over 20 years. My practice includes studying the yogic philosophies and actively practicing the Yamas and Niyamas, yoga's code of conduct. I am certified as a yoga instructor and an embodiment therapist.
Changing the way we think about life, emotions, and pain has been shown to change the way we experience pain and other sensations in our bodies. The way we THINK about our pain affects the way we experience our pain. This is true for physical, emotional and spiritual pain.
More people are experiencing that it’s not the activity we participate in, our genes, or our age that causes us to suffer from chronic pain…it’s the mind.
I have been fortunate and blessed to be able to break free from two deadly addictions: alcohol & nicotine. I used many modalities to get clean, clearing my mind and body, and I cannot wait to share them with you. There is not just one way to get sober. Please don't stop looking until you find what works for you. You deserve it.
Andrea has been an incredible addition to my journey through anxiety, for both me and my family. Her brilliant coaching and understanding of who we are, and what techniques would succeed for us as a busy family were invaluable. Her calm reassurance, and a plethora of coping techniques, paired with regular check-ins made for a wonderful and warm partnership. I truly look forward to our weekly meetings and know that the lessons I've learned are already helping to bring my blood pressure down, and my self-awareness up.

After two years of chronic back pain and thousands of dollars spent on various treatment modalities, I was fortunate to have been coached by Andrea. Andrea helped me clearly see the power of my mind and how, while trying to protect me, it's the reason I was unable to get past the pain. As I write this, I am pain-free for the most part and know how to deal with the occasional flare-ups when they occur. If escaping my pain was all I got out of my sessions with Andrea, I'd have enthusiastically recommended Andrea. But those lessons went beyond just that physical pain. I'm now much more aware of how my mind has contributed to a number of other parts of my life that I am working on. And the caring, personal touch that Andrea brought to each session made me look forward to our time together. Don't hesitate in seeing for yourself how your life can be improved by working with Andrea.

I’m so grateful for Andrea! I’m an artist and I started working with her when I was struggling with fibromyalgia flare ups and feeling burnt out from nannying. She approaches our coaching sessions with warmth, humor and insight and she has helped me heal from feeling stuck in chronic pain and fatigue. Andrea is wise and intuitive; she knows how to help me help myself by adjusting my perspective and motivates and encourages me. I now have a daily art practice, my self care routine is much stronger and my pain is improving. She inspires me and helps me focus on my values of joy, creativity, and gratitude.
