"A miracle worker is an artist of the soul. There is no higher art than living a good life. An artist informs the world of what is available behind the masks we all wear"
~Marianne Williamson
By no means do I claim to be a miracle worker, but I can claim that miracles do happen. My miracle is that I get to call what I love doing "work".

This in itself has been an evolution of the many different iterations of Andrea. One of my first jobs out of high school was in the automotive industry. Yup, I know more about cars than I care to admit. While it could have been a "good" career I knew I wanted to do something with my life that was more creative. So I went back to school for Interior Design and painting, which landed me working with a very high-end renovation company. This career evolved from painting to design to furniture sales, eventually leading me to sell tile and stone.
I love that I got to explore many different facets of this industry but still, something wasn't quite hitting the mark. What was more unfortunate though is my mental and physical health were declining. I thought it had to do without being satisfied with my external life, but really, my internal world was a mess.
This is when everything shifted.
I remember it clearly. It was 2008. I decided to step into my very first yoga class. I had no idea what I was doing and felt silly trying to pretzel my body into different shapes, but about a month in I felt myself laying in shavasana overcome by a peace I had not felt before. For the first time, the space between my eyes softened and tears began to come. I knew at that moment there was something out there beyond me.
It wasn't long before I was down the rabbit hole of self-healing. I did my yoga teacher training, became a holistic nutritionist and was on the fast track to personal and spiritual development. I can admit now that even focused on the holistic healing arts, the conditioning to look outside of myself for happiness ran deep.

I bumped up against my shadow many times. I still do. But I can say without a doubt that the key to loving an empowered life is not one that comes externally. It is an inside game.
I am sure my evolution of self is not complete, but what I am here to do now is something I know very well. To support women from self-abandonment to self-empowerment, through the healing at of Intuitive Coaching.
