From disowning his emotions to feeling deeply and connecting easily

When I started working with Andrea I wanted to do the internal work on myself so that I could attract a relationship that would be loving and lasting. 

One where I could really and truly be myself.

And what I’ve experienced so far is really 3 things: 

Discovery

Resolution

Clarity

Discovery has been to find places within myself where I was holding old pain + residue that was taking up space within me. Now those spaces can be filled with kindness and love and peace toward me. 

Resolution has been with the small inner child that we have. Being able to take care of that little boy has given me the ability to take care of myself while also keeping my heart open. 

And that’s been a big challenge for me. But I’m able to do that now.

And the clarity has been regarding what I really want in a relationship and most importantly how to open myself to that reality. 

So traditional talk therapies…I’ve done all of them and they can be helpful. Andrea however, has the capacity to work with your mind and your heart and your body all at the same time.

Her integrated work both speeds the process of discovery and speeds the process of the creation of new spaces and perspectives within me that have opened me up to the possibility of a new relationship.

She has designed exercises and meditations just for me and they show me just how deeply she is listening and how well she understands my journey and has become part of it. 

I love working with Andrea. And I recommend working with her if you are seeking a lasting and loving relationship in your life. Because what has happened to me is that now I have the power, freedom and confidence to open myself to that kind of relationship. 

Her practice and leadership are consistently thorough, creative and disciplined, and I appreciate that a lot.

Persistent blocks included early-learned gender and sexual shame; social anxiety and self-doubt; vulnerable self-image/-worth; and weak sovereign identity.

Since our work together, I trust far more than ever before, my own deepest truth, sense and vision. Never once before in my 60 years had the concept been shared with me that my male body and my sexuality held deep, powerful, trustworthy sacred wisdom.

Certainly not believably. Quite the opposite, in fact. 

One voice, one declaration, so clearly stands out still while others have now faded from my practice: “I was made for this.” 

I remember feeling an unexpected awe and reverence in the simplicity and beauty of its message, its unapologetic truth. 

In that moment, I felt a deep wholeness that I seemed to have always known; but it was so deeply and early buried under shame, fear, denial and rejection. 

And that same message feels as if it describes my whole being’s relationship with love itself: 

Made for this.

So yes, the work and wisdom was powerfully mine. 

But your permission, your heart-led vision, gave me back to myself.

I want to say you could lead me but not save me. You could offer the map, but not the will or the treasure, for that can only be my own resource. 

But you did give me something key that I was unable to give myself: You gave me permission. 

Permission. 

That gift and turning point astonishes me again and again. No matter what I find, no matter what I am, permission to trust, embrace, love, celebrate, share, and be. 

I think it needed to be a woman. I think it needed to be you, your wisdom, your knowing, your shared and honest trust. 

I know more clearly than ever today that my greatest authenticity is itself my greatest gift.

Being single for a very long time I wanted to move forward and know how I can help myself find someone. 

Having been on countless dates and meeting some very nice people I became confused and disillusioned with the whole process.  

Was I being too picky, was I putting my ideal kind of partner off in some way? 

I wanted to know how I could attract and recognise the kind of person I'm looking for. 

I would avoid meeting someone as I had a fear of saying no or hurting their feelings,  I was afraid of talking to girls who I did like but felt were out of my league.  I also realised I wasn’t clear on what kind of person I'd like in my life. 

Andrea helped to address all of that that and more. 

I can speak from my heart and communicate whatever I need to say compassionately and powerfully. 

I am now clear on the kind of person I want.

I am more open and relaxed and looking forward to more dates and meeting people being present with them. 

Andrea took me through some very powerful techniques through the 10 weeks I worked with her. Some of these were meditations, or conversations and practical steps to take.

We looked at my psychology, my beliefs and what I wanted to have.

She was always listening and in our conversations she noticed the smallest detail that was blocking me.

It was fun and I looked forward to each meeting as there would always be some exciting new processes and shifts to experience and some exciting news to share with one of my shifts from the previous week.

We looked at what manhood meant which allowed me to honour and step into my masculinity more. This had a profound effect on how I interact with every single person in a positive way.

I’ve also become more alive and excited about my business and career which has been a nice bonus. 

If you have been a single for a long time and want help from someone who listens and at the same time propels you to take action and get results then Andrea is the right coach.
