COACHING
So you're curious about coaching?
From my experience, working with a coach has been an opportunity for me to let my guard down about the patterns in my life that no longer serve me and open up to practices that will help me build new patterns that do!

Coaching is not therapy. It is not a one-size-fits-all approach. The best coaches I've worked with:
- Invite me into the present moment
- Ask open-ended questions rather than just showing up and assuming they know best
- Demonstrate understanding about my current burning question
- Encourage me to explore how I've been addressing the issue
- Brainstorm with me new ways of thinking and simple, doable steps to move toward resolving what I've shared with them.
The best coaches I've had remind me of the light within me that lights up when I'm onto something that resonates with my values. What are your values? Learn about mine here!
I aim to offer experiences for my clients that reflect the best of what I've received from a coach. When we work together you will see I follow the steps above to meet you where you are and create an experience that is unique to you. Every session is different, and every client comes to me with their own personal questions.

I found wellness coaching with Andrea at a time in my life when my body felt like it was actively fighting against me. Digestive issues from a medically necessary medication felt overwhelming, and I had no idea how to have any quality of life with the side effects. I called my doctor’s office and was told that I should just deal with it as long as I could, because some people have longer lasting side effects than others. This felt unacceptable to me, but I had no idea what my alternative could be.
Andrea worked with me to understand my body’s digestive system and find a way of eating that allowed me to continue taking the medication I needed without trading the quality of life I found equally as important. Grounded Here gave me the tools I needed to feel capable of listening to my body and understanding what it needed me to change.

Group Coaching
Seeking more than 1-on-1 support? Group coaching may be the next step for you! In the past I have offered The At Home in Your Body course, a three months of self-care habit-changing and community building. Listen to Sara's story to learn more about this course. It is not currently offered, though I would love to know if you are interested in participating in the future.
Is it ever the right time to invest in your own self-care?
I can't wait to get going on this new journey! Thank you for being so calm and loving,
I love how I can feel your energy just through the phone.
