Success Stories
| Thanks to my time with Andrea I now have a fulfilling and enjoyable job. My health has improved and my marriage is reinvigorated. I feel calmer.
I was restless, feeling underemployed and I wasn’t using my gifts. I saw the possibility of opening up my life to new ventures and ideas with Andrea. I found working with her to be a completely safe, open and accepting environment to admit my challenges. Andrea addresses all aspects of life: the body, mind, spirit and soul. She helped me find better balance in work, nutrition, relationships, and soul. Thanks to our time together I now have a fulfilling and enjoyable job. My health has improved and my marriage is reinvigorated. I feel calmer. I can accept all facets of being human. When challenges arise, I can meet them from a more secure place. Forgiveness comes much more easily, both for myself and for others. I feel strong, light and energetic! Martha |
| I feel in charge of my health and feel so much better! I have never felt such a sense of purpose in my life.
I hired Andrea because I have Crohn’s disease which left me feeling bloated and tired and I wanted to learn how to feel good, eat healthy and deal with the stress in my life in a more productive way. I also wanted to do that by limiting my medication (which I have). IOne of the things I love about Andrea is she is such a great listener. She really listens and then offers ways to handle health challenges in a positive way. She will turn the situation you are telling her around and really make you think and discover the best answer to the problem, sort of like a revelation for you. Since working with Andrea…
I have never felt such a sense of purpose in my life since I started with Andrea. She has helped me feel good and has showed me a better way to eat and stay healthy. I would recommend anyone to Andrea who wants to really seriously make some changes in their life – physically, spiritually and emotionally. She has given me the tools to lead a better way of life.

| I’m a much happier and healthier mom! My skin condition has healed, my family is much healthier and now I know what foods work and don’t work for me.
When I met Andrea I was suffering from uncomfortable eczema and several other dermatological problems. I thought they might be diet related but was discouraged by the dermatologist who could only offer pharmaceutical creams and steroid shots. When I asked him if he thought it could be diet, he actually laughed and said good luck trying to figure it out. Andrea empowered me with the knowledge of what foods work and don’t work for me. My eczema is healed. My other skin issues can flair up when I don’t stick to my diet, but at least I know what is causing it. Later, when I found out my four year old daughter had chronically swollen tonsils that were causing her sleep apnea, I wanted to try a natural approach. I sought out Andrea’s help again. Within a week of altering her diet, my daughter had stopped the loud snoring at night and was sleeping soundly. Now that she is getting better sleep she is a happier child and I am a happier mom!!! What I especially liked about Andrea’s approach is that she can modify it to fit your lifestyle. I would recommend Andrea to anyone who is having any chronic health problems and wants to take control of their life. Gitana Wasserman |
| Looking better and feeling healthier has helped me reconnect with the person I think I’ve always been, but have lost touch with over the years from putting others’ needs first.
Before working with Andrea I had been carrying around six extra pounds that I was unable to get rid of even with caloric restrictions and lots of exercise. I’d just had the flu and felt like a cesspool of Tylenol and Motrin. The steps and recommendations that Andrea suggested I try were not too big or unsustainable for my busy life. These little changes made one at a time have led to major changes and have made a huge difference. Things like:
Now I am reading all the time and learning all the time. I love it! This all started with the Wellness Gifts she sent as encouragement throughout the program. The gifts were fun and inspired me to follow Andrea’s action plan. I LOVE to eat the foods she introduced me to and I never feel guilty for enjoying them! When I get home from shopping, I don’t say ‘ I still have nothing to eat’. As a result of eating more healthful foods, I feel that I’m also doing much toward improving the health of the Earth in my own little way. Busy Mother of Three |
| I feel significantly better! My energy lasts longer, no more digestion issues and I feel in charge of my cravings. Before working with Andrea I was feeling listless and tired. I was having digestion issues and in general feeling unhealthy and stressed. With Andrea’s help, I was able to see eating patterns contributing to my declining health. She suggested eating foods I had never tried to replace the foods doing me harm. When I follow the suggested way to eat, I feel significantly better. My energy is better and lasts longer. I no longer have the digestion issues and I don’t have difficulty following the meal plan. Now I am a believer that food does have a strong influence on our bodies. When you first asked me “how does that make you feel” after I had eaten something I truly had no idea. Now, I am aware of the foods that benefit my body and those that don’t. I still stray back to some comfort foods from the past now and again, but I am far more in control than ever before. Not only did Andrea teach me a great deal about my own body, she helped me confront some of my “food issues” related to stress. Why I eat and what I eat and how to adjust that way of thinking. It has been a relief to control my cravings and replace bad eating habits with good ones. Susan Lanzaro |
| Now I know how to balance what I crave with what’s good for me. I had heard from another family how much better they felt after starting Andrea’s program of eating. I was tired and dissatisfied with my weight and general health and eating patterns and wanted to do something about it. I don’t confide in people easily, but Andrea inspired me to open up and was really easy to talk to. She never judged me or my eating habits, but she did suggest things and ways that I can improve in a way that was interesting and relevant to my life. Working with Andrea has taught me so much. Primarily, I have learned that when I eat better, I feel better. I am learning not to be so hard on myself. I am learning that it is ok to ask and get help with a problem. And the best part, I am feeling better about myself and my health. I am thinking more about how I can eat healthier. I have also tried foods that I have never had before. Never had I thought about all of the chemicals and toxins I was eating! With Andrea’s guilt-free approach to eating healthy, I don’t feel bad when I don’t eat properly. Instead I know how to balance what I crave with what’s good for me. Which gives me clear direction in what to eat everyday and how to navigate any food situation with ease. Carol Oare |
| I can now do things I never used to be able to do with the additional energy and a better outlook on my future. The time I spent with Andrea was the best decision I made in many years. When I started working with her I was unsure what types of food I needed to eat to help me lose weight and get more energy. I appreciated how well she listened to my needs and the caring she shared with me. The three most significant improvements I am now enjoying as a result of Andrea’s counseling:
I can now do things I never used to be able to do with additional energy and a better outlook on my future. The knowledge I received from her opened up an entire new world to the way I eat and look at myself. Tom Lanzaro |
