Dear Andrea,

Thank you for the amazing session. It put me into a deeper connection with my heart that enabled me to be clearly able to be confident in all of my decisions!

Love, Amy


“A year ago I was searching, but not for you. How could I when I had no clue this work existed. Even if I did I would blow it off as holistic powwow and retreat back to my myriads of self help books. Fortunately the friend I was with was drawn to you and after what seemed like 10 or 15 minutes, I was captivated. It turned out that we chatted for almost two hours. During this time I had my first “vision”, although I didn’t put much thought or importance into the experience. I did however leave you that day saying to my friend, “this person is going to introduce me to myself.” I said it as a statement of fact. Driving home I cried, something I don’t readily do, and thought I got lost even though I was on a familiar road. Calling my friend to share the experience, she related a similar experience. How cool was that we thought, there must be something to this “hokey” stuff! 

Three weeks went by and it was time for my first appointment. I called my friend and told her I didn’t want to go. Was I nuts!  Driving an hour each way and two hours for a session, would take my whole day! I must be mad! She agreed with me. Yet… I said that first meeting was really kind of fascinating and I definitely felt something. She agreed again. We concluded to each other to go once and “test” our experience.

A years worth of work later and I can’t even recognize my old self.  A “self help” book is just words to me now. My inner spirit is realized and transforms my outer life. The frustrating thing is that I now realize that I always had my own “self help” book in my own being, if I had let my heart read it. Thankfully Andrea “the Librarian” knew exactly which book I needed to check out and where to find it within myself.”

The sessions are fun, fascinating, and a totally unpredictable ride, wheeee. My life has changed inside and out. My relationships have all shifted for the better, especially the relationship I now have with myself. What a divine gift!

“Having sessions at your Practice has impacted my life in three different areas: 

1. Physically:

2. Mentally:

3. Spiritually:

“Having sessions with you has strengthened my abilities to communicate with better outcomes. My relationship with my husband is so much better. I had thought at one time that we would have nothing in common once our children were grown up and moved on. We communicate better and are more aware of each others feelings.

My confidence is improving also, as well as my self esteem. 

I have also learned to stop my thoughts from convincing me that it is not Ok to take risks. It’s tough at times, but I am learning that challenge is what is making my life more exciting and fulfilling.

I also come away with a different way to look at an issue. Thank you Andrea for putting all of this out there for us to use.

“I am a Holistic Therapist specializing
in Journey Work.

Whether moving towards the present Life
or moving outwards to the Soul…
the Heart is the story teller
and the Healer through both worlds."

By Grace, I share this with you.

“For the fourth month now I wake to swollen, red and itching eyes. I have tried so many ways to calm them and to heal them. Nothing has worked. Last week when I had an early life memory, I thought…aha…this is it!  Now they will stop burning. Yet it only eased for one week.  How could it not have been the trauma? I felt the hurt of my young child. I cried with her as she struggled to cope with being left, again… not having enough time… not having her needs met again. From birth to three she lived with only moments of time to be held, to be loved, and to be left, left wanting, left needing so much more than was offered ‘home,’ (Each Heart must want the Other to ‘come’ Home).

As I stared into my little girl’s eyes… my heart guided me past her… to a Life stored in my Soul, waiting there for me… My Soul showed me a native woman, in great grief, walking the Trail of Tears… my breath and my heart were caught in agony in witness to her pain. 

The whole story didn’t come… just flashes of her and ‘the Walk.’  It came as if to say… be ready… you are not there yet. The pictures of her stopped. Yet there was an uncomfortable intensity building inside me. My eyes worsened… My eyelids were so inflamed, they began to crack and peel, while wrinkles continued to form themselves from each nights swelling. Days passed as I connected with doctors and healers for a remedy. From the doctors… there was nothing really wrong… possibly an allergy.  Then… from nowhere, no injury… my back began to intensely ache. I couldn’t move without being ripped with pain. My arms barely held me as they supported my movements. My feet could only shuffle forward with small steps. I needed help. 

I know a Shaman. I will see her to free my spirit from this… She is also Navajo, in Spirit. Her Shaman is Navajo in Present. 

It is Valentine’s Day, a day of the Heart. There is a powerful storm as we begin the healing ceremony. It is quiet and remote here. The space is blessed and Spirit has already arrived. I am still struggling to move as my back has worsened and the skin of my eyes is crimson red. Andrea, in sacred space, guides me atop the healing table where I will lie for the next two hours. Her Shaman sounds begin, each sound resonating to a different section of my pain, calling out its story and its healing… then, sacred touch to the pain vibrating through my body.

Andrea continues to bring sound to my body and touch that now is drawing tears from my eyes… My Native Woman is present. And, I am her witness. The Story again plays out in front of me, melting the numbing in my Soul. You see, we couldn’t cry then. We couldn’t stop to feel or honor each other or our dying. And by the time we got to the new land…, we had lost the life in our hearts.

That evening the storm outside had grown worse. We sat by the fire and talked of the healing experience. The flames were alive with movement and heat, as if it too came to the healing circle, to remind us… this is only another dance of life. My body and my eyes grew tired quickly. The pain in my back had grown even worse. I was not done. Oh God… there’s more...  

Andrea… wondered what the next step would be for me. A song from the other room came on the stereo, “If I could be where you are.” Andrea realized what the next step would be and placed me in her chair five feet in front of the stereo, and began playing the song… over and over again. I sat with my eyes closed. Andrea sat on the floor between the stereo and me. She smudged our space and began praying the song into me. Tears rolled from my eyes as my Native woman again came present and mourned for her losses, and for her husband. My heart leaned into hers. And in some space beyond the greatest compassion I have ever touched, we met. Her story told, her feelings felt, her humanity restored, her divinity reclaimed, she began to pass. My arms, my eyes, my heart, my hands beheld her as she left… to become life in my Soul. I thanked her for her life, for her heart, for her courage…

My eyes are healing. My back is recovering. My Heart and Spirit feel a strength, a tenderness, a compassion and a home that this journey has gifted me and the hearts of my journeyers have restored to me.

Dignity is a divine, loving gift of Life. We need it to return to God, to the Soul, to the joyful movement of Life.”

— Maureen

What a divine gift! — L.T. “Having sessions at your Practice has impacted my life in three different areas: 1. Physically: Learning to listen and become aware of changes and signals from my body. More awareness when certain physical, mental or emotional things happen and how my body reacts. Being able to relate changes to my state of mind and not that my body just hurts. Being able to relax, or lessen trauma to myself that shows up in a physical form. The awareness to recognize this and harness my own healing powers to benefit myself.  Discovering that my physical body and spirit body are not limited to the boundaries of my mental body.  Finding out I have much more physical strength and flexibility than before. 2. Mentally: Becoming aware that my known pattern of thinking about myself was not in my real truth. It was partially my own, but also the beliefs of others that I believed were actually my own. Going back to what I believe and know is me, not what others think or want me to be. Being true to me is the best self-help. Discovering that I have other mental powers even if they don’t “make sense”. They don’t have to be in perfect logic. Experiencing these things to be true is all the confirmation I need. Approval of others is not the “greatest reward.” Self love is greater. Being aware of new and different ways of problem solving with work, people, relatives and life in general.  Moving forward and getting different solutions based on how I feel, not others. Dealing with challenges in a new ways. For example: learning about others, rather than trying to control each other. 3. Spiritually: Knowing that I possess a powerful and beautiful inner spirit that can go out and relate in the world and universe in a more loving way.  Discovering that I have a past and present group of spirit bodies that guide me.  Knowing I am not alone.  That I have many helpers to protect and give me insight to things the mental mind would say “not possible.”  Continually discovering about myself all the time and my place in the world and how I exist to be myself.” — Dana “Having sessions with you has strengthened my abilities to communicate with better outcomes.
