My journey began in the wellness space. I started practicing yoga in 2014, and after completing my graduate program in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2015, yoga became my respite from working full-time, long, 12-hour days that left little space to breathe. As I advanced my practice, it guided me to complete my 200-hour yoga teacher training, as well as Reiki Level I and II, and I began working with private clients and studios. I was laser-focused until August 2018, when my whole world changed….
How it all started...Hey there, I’m Andrea!
the diagnosis that changed it all…My body had begun speaking to me in ways I could no longer ignore. I was experiencing persistent fatigue, shortness of breath, and unexplained bruising. After 12 hours of tests and transfusions, I received a reality-shattering diagnosis: Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
Within 48 hours, I was faced with the decision to start chemotherapy or potentially lose my life. Instead of hiding away from the world, I chose to FIGHT. I leaned into transparency by sharing my story, experience, and healing journey.
I received four rounds of chemo, multiple hospitalizations, emotional + physical pain, bone marrow biopsies, and what felt like never-ending treatments, that left me feeling bruised inside and out. I was exhausted. But even in that deep place, I kept choosing LIFE.
On December 21, 2018, I received my bone marrow transplant, with my brother as my donor. We were told the odds that he would be a perfect genetic match were low, but HE WAS, and I made a FULL RECOVERY!
I began weaving Human Design variables, astrological principles, psychology, well-being, and my love for design into my creative urges to help me heal. I was teaching & speaking about ways to align environments for deeper well-being through podcasts, designing spaces for family + friends, and sharing those spaces on social media.
I couldn’t afford a digital designer at the time, so I taught myself using my background in psychology, attention to detail, and love for beauty. What started as a personal solution transformed into a multidisciplinary business where I get to create aligned digital and physical spaces, while still teaching well-being practices for corporate wellness initiatives & private clients.
I thought I had to choose or “niche” down, but I found a way to connect all my gifts, carving out a path of service that was authentic to me, and I didn’t follow any rules to get here. I broke them ALL…
The most challenging experience of my life taught me some of the most beautiful lessons. I learned to love deeply, invest in my passions, express my needs, and align with my true self — happy, gracious, free, creative, and CANCER-FREE.
To everyone who supported me along the way, I am eternally grateful!
I decided to devote my energy to living a creative life - exploring my innate gifts & heart’s desires.
