Hello! I’m Andrea

This work is my passion!

I came into this world with many sensitivities, many questions, and a sense that nothing was safe. I longed for a sense of safety and belonging, and for others to allow the part of me that wasn’t so sure where I fit. At 13, seeking answers and connection, I joined a spiritual community. For over 15 years, I devoted myself to a monastic schedule of meditation, ceremony, and service. This anchored me in communal life and allowed me to explore a deeply meaningful path of spiritual connection. Although my own path eventually led away from a monastic approach to spiritual life, I am still guided by a passion for experiences that help us reconnect with our true selves and feel the profound interconnectedness of all life.

Years later, facing autoimmune disease, multiple chemical sensitivities, and perimenopause, I began once again to look for answers and connection - but this time longing for a deeper connection with myself. My intention was to reconnect with my body and life purpose, and also to find more balance in a world that seemed to be getting increasingly chaotic and unrecognizable. In Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy I found connection to my energetic body and the immense healing/balancing wisdom that is present for each of us. I felt my nervous system learning a new way to be, allowing greater embodiment and fluidity. It is not too great a claim to say that Craniosacral is helping me to trust life in a deeper way each day - allowing me to be in gentleness with the great mystery of our life process. Through Holotropic Breathwork I was able to explore some of my earliest traumas, being with them in a new way, allowing their hold on me to shift and dissolve. My path eventually led me to entheogenic medicines, which I initially had a lot of caution towards, having been raised in the “just say no” era. But after reading dozens of books on traditional sacred use, along with many on psychedelic therapy, I couldn’t ignore my curiosity about their therapeutic potential! I’ve now spent many years learning from these mysterious plant teachers in both western therapeutic and traditional settings. I do not have enough words to express my gratitude and love for the ways they have changed me, for the way they have connected me to myself and life, for their blessed existence. I express my gratitude daily by allowing their teachings to change how I live, to bring their wisdom lovingly out into the world, and relating to them as the profound and sacred teachers they are.

I have now spent many years dedicated to learning the modalities that radically shifted my experience in this body and the life I’m living. I continue to add skills, finding new ways to integrate my training, experience, and intuition to gently support each being on their unique path.

I’m deeply grateful to share this work with others and continue learning, growing, and evolving alongside those I support.
