“I connected with Andrea after getting diagnosed with diabetes and fatty liver again after a year of being in remission. The first time I found out I was diabetic, I did a very strict no-carb diet and was able to lose weight and get my HA1C back down to normal levels; but I realized that approach was not sustainable and that I really needed help retraining myself on how to eat for my health.
I was honestly dreading my initial consultation, fearing that I would have to go on another extreme diet. However, I learned from Andrea that eating healthfully was a much more holistic approach and that the goal was to find a formula that worked with my health goals, lifestyle, and personal tastes.
As I progressed, I learned how to plan my meals and eat things I love that will also love me back and nourish me. I learned how to slow down and appreciate what I eat and how it makes me feel. Now I have been able to maintain a healthy weight for months while eating a varied and balanced diet. The skills and habits I picked up from Andrea have now become like second nature, and I feel I finally have a healthy relationship with food.”

“Thank you so much for changing my life in so many ways. When we first started working together I was feeling so low... waking up every morning with a headache, dizzy and foggy, coping with intense anxiety and generally feeling stuck.
Your compassion, guidance, wisdom, and care have inspired me to take my health and wellbeing into my own hands, to find the clarity and knowledge to make changes that better support my body, mind, emotions, and spirit. I feel so much lighter, clearer, and am filled with a joyful sense of possibility, momentum, and blossoming. I would not be here without you.”

“Working with Andrea helped me become more attuned to my body and overall, more mindful of my eating. She also helped me discover new food sensitivities and how it affects my autoimmune condition, multiple sclerosis. By eliminating the triggers, I was able to improve my sleeping and energy levels drastically.”

“I came to Andrea during a pretty confusing and stressful period in my life - I was in the beginning stages of my third pregnancy after two previous losses and two years of struggling with infertility. Andrea guided me not only through making changes to my diet, but through changing my mindset in order to focus on positive outcomes, which helped immensely with my anxiety. I absolutely credit Andrea with allowing me to feel joy and hope during this pregnancy, which I did not think would be possible considering my history. My relationship with food has changed for the better, but more importantly, my ability to be a more positive person has increased tremendously thanks to the habits that I was able to build with Andrea’s support.”
