Andrea studied massage at Omega Healing Arts School, received her Co-Active Life Coach Training from Coaches Training Institute (CTI), and has a BA in Communications and Theatre from Wilkes University. She is currently working toward becoming certified in Raphaelite Work, an energetic healing and transformation process that incorporates breath, touch and presence. In addition to her training, Andrea has worked with several chiropractic practices and has experience treating a variety of soft-tissue injuries and conditions including rotator cuff issues, frozen shoulder, piriformis syndrome, and lumbar, sacral, and sciatic issues, among others. Andrea’s customized blend of massage techniques, therapeutic experience, coaching skills and energy work can help relieve physical pain, open blocked energy paths, restore mental clarity, and rejuvenate the soul. People who have experienced her work have described the experience as uplifting, empowering and healing.

Andrea came to massage after 20 years of working in the “real” world in the Arts and Entertainment Industry. It was Andrea’s own personal experience with “work burnout” and stress-related illnesses that inspired her to train and work in the healing arts. Determined to get her life and health back into a more natural state of balance, Andrea decided to shift and rearrange her outward life to be in greater alignment with her inner beliefs and holistic values. Because of her personal experience, Andrea is passionate about educating people about stress and helping them develop stress management skills through deeper personal awareness.

Andrea helps her clients to feel better in their bodies and their lives. Her work brings about increased energy and flexibility, both physically and mentally. She provides excellent service and opportunities for growth by listening attentively to her clients’ concerns. Andrea encourages her clients to trust and listen to their bodies, and fosters in them a sense of empowerment and independence.

Andrea feels that in a world where technology keeps people connected via screens, devices and “tweets,” the power of human touch is often forgotten. Massage is one of the best, most effective preventative health treatments for people, and a powerful form of human contact and connection. Andrea’s combination of professional skills and life experience helps her relate easily to most people. The combination of her professional and personal experiences, spiritual path, Raphaelite Work and coaching training make up the healing presence that she brings to the massage table. The thing she loves most about her work is seeing people unfold and experience their being with more awareness.
