Hi I’m Andrea

I help parents with kids or teens whose brains are “wired differently” connect more deeply with their kids.  Bring more joy into their relationship, and more peace into their family.

And because the parents (or at least mom) is connecting more deeply with their kids, their kids are open to listening to them, respect them more, the parents are then able to set their kids up to THRIVE.   

Something we ALL WANT as parents, to watch our kids THRIVE!

So how did I get here?  Why did I start helping parents connect more deeply with their kids?

I have 2 sons who are in high school and college. When my sons were really young, they had behaviors that were hard to control at times. And emotions that felt pretty darn tricky to handle. Some might refer to their symptoms as neurodiversities.  

Anyhow, over time with the help of Drs., coaches, therapy, my returning to holistic nutrition school AND learning to listen to my intuition, my sons’ conditions improved. We began to see the light as a family. 

But I’ll tell you what. That wasn’t the end of the story. I still felt like sh*t. I was tired, run down and feeling sorry for myself. and my health started to waiver.

Even though my kids started to improve, there still were issues at home, with arguing, outbursts and limited family harmony. I didn’t feel at peace. I realized,

I kept wanting everything to be better so I could feel better. But, this approach doesn’t work. I learned that you need to feel good FIRST in order to have the things you want.

And, I learned if I wait to feel good until I get what I want, (like kids who are doing awesome and a peaceful home environment, etc.) I might wait my entire life before I actually feel good.

I decided to start feeling good now. BEFORE my life and my family were “fixed”. I decided to stop worrying so much and instead show up as the BEST version of myself I could find. And, I did. And still do.

That woman born of chaos, (and will still find herself in the midst of it at times, ‘cause life never stops moving and we’re meant to continue to grow through “problems”).

Well, that woman is stronger now, has found a route to happiness and internal satisfaction that she can shift into fairly quickly.  As opposed to crying for long periods at a time and feeling sorry for herself over the way she felt treated by her family, etc..

And, as I began to shift my thinking and emotions, I not only felt more solid and at peace but,  it began to have a profound effect on how I parented and got along with my kids and spouse.

I parented BETTER.  I relaxed more.

I was more compassionate and understanding with my kids and spouse.  Honestly, it’s taken me more effort to feel compassionate and understanding with my spouse, but it is happening often + MORE than ever!  (Just being real! LOL!)

And the level of peace + calm in our family has increased significantly!

Changing the way I think + feel has been the cornerstone of all GREAT things currently happening in my life  + with my family.

BTW, one thing I’ve noticed.  When we get into this state and way of being, we’re able to connect more deeply with our kids and set them up to FLY.  

Why?  Because we can’t teach our kids something we haven’t learned ourselves first.

Anyhow, if you want this too, let’s talk.  There’s a huge expanse of peace + happiness that’s waiting for you and your family to step into, and I want nothing more than to help you ditch the drama and struggle and claim it for yourself!

Xo,

Andrea
