MEET ANDREA

For three decades of my life, I believed that my self-worth was found only in my actions and accomplishments; that people-pleasing was necessary in order to ensure a safe and consistent relationship with others. This meant over-achieving, doing everything but not finding satisfaction or fulfillment, and then eventual burnout and resentment. I was disconnected from myself, my body and my purpose.

Then, a period of several years in the last decade of my life has been marked by struggle: hardship and trauma around my closest loved ones experiencing serious injury, terminal illness, death, and my creating new life in this vulnerable place all the while building and operating businesses. The balance to these struggles, and my biggest learning in this lifetime, is the beauty and simplicity in the ebb and flows of life. ‘Life is suffering’ as the Buddha said – when we can come to living in acceptance and understanding with this, everything else can become magic. Attached to our suffering is our greatest strengths and wisdom, we are not meant to avoid suffering. There is a higher level of support, on an interdimensional level, that is accessible to each of us when we practice the tools to quiet our racing minds and to come home to a place of fulfillment as the architects of our lives.

As a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC) with an Advanced Diploma of Transpersonal Therapeutic Counselling, I am effective in a practical, logical sense and we can meet at this level; my passion is in supporting you to experience a deeper level of connection, pondering and relating as we journey, gently, to a universal consideration. For every person, this is a unique path based on your individual life experiences and perspective – it is an honour to be able to take this journey with you.

I believe in unconditional love, compassion and generosity.  My life purpose is to support others to find a place of trust and surrender through life’s biggest transitions to ultimately find peace as well as the strengths and wisdom that these challenges eventually offer us.

I look forward to exploring what this means specifically for your lifetime and how to embody this to your fullest potential.
