Your Flourishing Life Coaching
Andrea has been my coach since 2008. We started when I was a doctoral student. My studies were completely disrupted when I became a whistleblower in a county corruption case. I lost my job and benefits, and access to the data I planned to use for my research. Andrea helped me to use my experience and redesign my research so I could study how whistleblowers recover from retaliatory attacks. She taught me tapping (EFT) so I could be resilient when working with prosecutors and the stress of doing a dissertation. After graduation, she has helped me manage the stress of dealing with many family crises. She also helped to develop a consulting practice to help other whistleblowers and to publish articles on this topic. As a result I am now known as an international expert on trauma recovery. Andrea has been a steady, wise source of support over these years. If you want a coach who can inspire your best efforts, and work with you to improve all aspects of your life, work with Andrea!
Your Flourishing Life Coaching
Sometimes you happen to stumble upon a person that can just make your life a bit better! And when you do, you are lucky! Andrea is that type of person, friend and coach. During one of those “life transition” times, Andrea worked with me on determining blockages in moving towards some goals which included returning to school after many years for another graduate degree. She helped me clarify what the issues were and worked with me to alleviate them.
In addition, she helped me to complete a graduate school application under a very tight deadline. I am an older student, and I was terrified that my age would put me at a disadvantage. She helped me stay calm using EFT, strengthened my self-confidence and utilized her skills to assist me in maintaining my focus. With her support, I overcame my writer’s block and pulled together the resources I needed to show I could do the work. I even submitted the application early!
Best of all – I was accepted and have since successfully completed the program. Thanks! Andrea. I couldn’t have done it without you.
Doctoral Coaching.
I am an artist who was stuck for years in my distance-learning PhD program. I was depressed and demoralized and thinking about quitting. Andrea helped me to work better with my committee and restructure my dissertation so I could finish. She provided much more consistent expert support and encouragement than my faculty committee. Working with her really helped. I would not have gotten done without her.

Your Flourishing Life Coaching
I have been working with Andrea in Energy Healing – HeartMath for the past month. I have been deeply committed and completely emerged in my spiritual and healing journey for the last 5 years. January 2024 after doing a life audit, I knew I needed to find a new road to advance in my spiritual/healing journey but did not know what or where to look, that’s when I found Andrea as a volunteer on the Veteran Stress Solution program. I am disabled veteran. One day, I was browsing the internet and the Veteran Stress Solution popped up. Finding Andrea was a miracle for me, I have not ever heard about HeartMath so I figured, why not give it a try.
I fell in love with Andrea in our first session. Andrea has helped me move along my healing journey so profoundly and in such a short amount of time. She has helped me find congruence between my heart and my mind. She knows instinctively what my mind needs to say to heal my heart and what my heart needs to communicate to my mind to help me become whole, complete. Andrea guides our therapy with such light. Her positivity impacts me so profoundly, she has helped me see how great of a job I have done in my life; she calls to my attention how strong I have been and how strong I am showing up in life. Her kind words, her encouragement helps me see that it takes a lot of courage and strength to choose to do healing work and with the right therapist by your side, the journey is less painful, more productive and moves along a lot quicker. Andrea, you are one of my Earth bound angels – thank you for showing up in my path when I needed you the most. Thank you for joining me and for helping me sail and navigate through this great experience, this wonderful and beautiful journey, we call life. Thank you! Namaste!
Doctoral Coaching
I am PhD student who was struggling with staying on schedule. I was overwhelmed before working with Andrea, but she helped me to set realistic weakly goals that kept me on track. She helped me identify stresses and poor habits that were preventing me from being productive and gave me the right tools to address these challenges. She is a great asset for anyone working towards a doctoral degree!
Doctoral Coaching
Andrea helped me to transition out of a PhD program that was a poor fit for my needs. She then coached me in using my skills to establish what is now a thriving organizational development consulting practice. When I was ready, she guided me in getting back into-another PhD program where I successfully completed my degree and graduated in 2022. She has been key to my balancing my PhD and professional work with my family life. If you want an expert PhD coach and gifted life coach, hire Andrea!
Retirement Coaching
Seeing Andrea’s offer to coach people who are anxious about retirement resonated so strongly for me that I had to contact her, even though I’d been happily retired for several years. I somehow knew that this was a very important life opportunity for me.
During our first session it became clear to us both that I was one of the (un)lucky ADD adults who had never been diagnosed and had always wondered why I felt so different. This was such an unexpected and welcome revelation after all these years. It’s a gift that has brought me much joy and peace of mind by demystifying my past, and presenting untold possibilities for my future. I have always been someone who wants to meet the life challenges that foster personal growth and this insight was a valuable missing key.
Through Andrea’s guidance and helpful tools, like tapping, I’m learning to recognize my distracted patterns sooner and begin focusing their scattered and excited mental energy into a more structured and realistic state of mind. From this new perspective, it’s easier to identify and engage in some of my deeper aspirations and set goals that bring joy and further contentment into my life. It’s amazing to me how trusting our inner feelings and acting on them can bring the right people and growth opportunities to us. Andrea is definitely a very skilled and caring professional who nurtured me onto a path I need but would have had no idea how to find
