“I moved from I hate you to I love you. From arrows to butterflies. From distance to intimacy”
I wasn’t sure that this [coaching] would work when I signed up for it with my husband. But we both knew something had to change. We were both at the end of our patience with one another. And I could not remember the last time I felt any love towards him, never mind desire for intimacy.
Speaking of intimacy, over the course of our marriage of 10 years, we didn’t have the best track record. So you would be surprised to hear that just a few months later, I feel those beautiful butterflies of anticipation when I think about my husband.
We hold hands. We go on coffee dates together. We hold one another.
And it actually feels good.
“Freer, exploring and celebrating, my partner and I together are transformed, enriched and grateful!
How easily we can unconsciously be prisoners of external validation which we mistakenly trust over our own inner wisdom.
I remain deeply grateful for the self-trust and freedoms gained in our work together.

“I have been working with Andrea for some time and she has transformed my life.
When I went to see her I had been to so many therapists before who although helpful had never managed to move me forward that much. I was struggling in my marriage and had been for some time. I felt stuck and hopeless.
Andrea was so kind and created such a safe nurturing space that I felt comfortable to recognise that I didn’t need the answers I thought I did to move forward. She is the loveliest kindest individual and I can recommend her wholeheartedly.”
Me and my boyfriend [worked with Andrea on] barriers present in our communication that led to an unhealthy and more friendship based relationship.
We were struggling to talk openly with one another about how we were feeling and ultimately nearly came to end the relationship as a result.
Andrea's techniques were bold and pushed us immediately out of our comfort zones, however this baptism of fire worked extremely well for us and even from the first session we were talking more openly than we ever had in our 5 years of being together.
Andrea has helped us to become emotionally more intelligent and cognizant of how we feel and how our actions make each other feel.
A particular standout moment was an exercise that really got us to drop any reserved feelings and be 100% honest with each other.
We also loved the tasks that Andrea gave us to work on at home, and how she was able to adapt them to us through more challenging times when one of us was away or unwell.
We are continuing many if not all of the practices she has taught us and we both agree that we are in a much stronger place after our 4 sessions.
We feel there are even more techniques in her book that we would benefit from if we were to run into blockers in the future.
Thank you Andrea for enriching and strengthening our relationship and as a result increasing our happiness.
“Andrea immediately picked up on our different communication forms. And got us to do a really good heart opening practice to connect to and understand the needs of the other.
It was a kickstart into compassionate communication we are now using. There is more wisdom around communication and I also learned to stop before I speak (not always easy!). I highly recommend Andrea she has an innate sense of what is behind the issue.”
“The whole process has made me feel closer to my partner and has removed the awkwardness, which has in turn made us a lot closer and more intimate. ”
Andrea is a magician!
We came to Andrea with intimate issues between my fiancé and I. We were finding intimacy really difficult and awkward the longer we left it and it was becoming the centre of arguments. So we knew we needed some help.
Andrea has really helped me and my partner learn to become more intimate in new ways. She worked on our ‘inner child’ and how to banish them from the adult bedroom. We then worked on exploratory and sensual touch to understand more about my partner and what he enjoyed without actually having sex. Eventually this lead to a full body exploration / longer foreplay and a much more fulfilling sex life.
The whole process has made me feel closer to my partner and has removed the awkwardness, which has in turn made us a lot closer and more intimate. We have new books on our bookcase which are a fantastic resource to learn about Tantra and full body orgasms, Andrea has opened our minds to a new world of pleasure!
“We came in to see Andrea because we had a problem communicating with each other which led to intimacy issues with my fiancé.
However after spending time working through tangible goals and practices we were able to open up to each other and since then everything has changed.
In fact things continue to get better as a result and we only have Andrea to thank for that.
Her patience, knowledge and understanding is second to none. ”

“It’s been a very challenging few years for us. Challenges felt insurmountable and overwhelming and communication between us was filled with tension and anxiety.
Andrea helped us develop the communication skills that we need to not only work through things together – but also foster deep connection and love that was somehow getting lost in all the chaos of life.
We’re both juggling taking care of new babies along with wanting to explore our own individual interests whilst at the same time creating a strong sense of family together. ”
“I was thinking about you today and wanted to thank you for being there for me and for my marriage.
With your talent we are still together. ”
“We wanted better and clearer communication in high stress situations.
Andrea was so gentle & kind, and we instantly connected with her from the first session. The tools we learned have already helped in such a big way.
Thanks again for everything. ”
“I’d been in a long term relationship with my sons’ father and couldn’t do the deed despite 20 years together and 2 sons later. It took that time we spent together to make a commitment that I hadn’t been able to make before. ”
“I feel so at peace with how much we worked through. There’s no animosity between us anymore. There is no awkwardness between us.
Our communication, our relationship, everything has had a spring clean. So much healing happened, so much wisdom, so many ways to communicate.
I’m just generally so happy that we did it so happy that we found you. I’m thrilled to be honest.”
