Andrea is an amazing woman. I received private prenatal instruction from her starting in my 13th week all the way through my 40th week of pregnancy. It was such a treat to practice yoga each week with Andrea at my home. She led me through poses to help my body adjust to being pregnant and prepare for child birth. Andrea paid special attention to the pregnancy related issues that I was dealing with such as loose ligaments and acid reflux and made adjustments to our practice when such issues arose. It wasn't until after giving birth that I realized the real value of her prenatal yoga instruction. The yoga poses and relaxation techniques I learned from Andrea were the most valuable set of skills (tools) that I used during my labor. If not for these skills, I don't think I could have endured an un-medicated child birth. I cannot speak highly enough of Andrea's prenatal instruction and the calming presence she brings to her practice.

Andrea knows how to take control in the gentlest way. I feel safe with her.

When I first started taking yoga classes I really didn't know what I was doing, or how to even begin. I first started going to classes that consisted of at least twenty students. I was without a doubt the most inexperienced person there, I couldn't keep up and I couldn't understand most of the postures. I started taking private classes with Andrea. I was amazed at how fast I started seeing a difference in my muscle tone, but what really made me happy was how I began to understand how important it was to incorporate my breathing with movement. I finally started understanding how to center myself. Not only was I developing better muscle tone and flexibility, but a much calmer mind. Working with Andrea has started me on a journey towards a much healthier lifestyle. I'm at a place physically, mentally, and spiritually, that didn't think possible. I am now starting Reiki with Andrea and looking forward to even more of an understanding of myself. For me, working with her has been life changing in a very positive way.
