Hi, I am Andrea! An Ayurvedic practitioner, yoga therapist & meditation teacher. I have been in private practice and teaching since 2000. My classes & retreats integrate Vedic wisdom, Ayurveda, meditation, breathwork, and a mindful approach to yoga asana that brings attention to anatomy, alignment, strength & inner awareness. These practices promote health in body & mind while inspiring you to live a more grounded and compassionate life in alignment with your true nature. P.S.

Traveling to India for this amazing Panchakarma experience was incredible. It was a body, mind, and soul transforming opportunity. It was not always easy, but it was so worth the effort to heal in ways that I didn’t even know were possible. All of the people at Vaidygrama were loving, and they treated us so well. It was an experience that I look forward to repeating.

This was a trip that I have dreamed of for over a decade. I have been familiar with Ayurveda for 15 years and have been working with Andrea for about 5, so this was a trip that I couldn't resist - and it did not disappoint. Being lead by someone you trust as well as having a familiar community to experience this with was truly the best possible scenario. Words cannot express the amount of love, care and healing that I felt while at VG. It was amazing and I am thrilled that I was able to experience it first hand.

I recently had the good fortune to travel to Vaidyagrama with Andrea to experience Panchakarma. My journey into the unknown of Ayurveda was uniquely my own as I had never before been exposed to this ancient practice, yet I fully trusted Andrea as well my internal intuitive guides that this was an important spelunking experience for me to venture into the depths of my BEing on a physical, mental and Spiritual level. Andrea was a Blessing to me in so many ways. Her depth of knowledge about Ayurveda helped greatly demystify this practice with which which I had little to no familiarity, and in combination with Panchakarma, it truly allowed me to integrate this newfound knowledge into my cells and very existence which transcends the cognitive knowing and understanding we humans have a penchant to need. But instead, it allowed me to integrate it all to the best of my ability with a wordless knowing in my body. Andrea herself, is a beautiful, Divine Being of Light - for not only does she command a great understanding of Ayurveda and has the ability to clearly and effectively articulate it both on a conceptual as well practical level, but she does so from a seat of Wisdom, channeling in truths and enlightenment she shares that that are undeniably that - true and enlightening, and doing so with nothing but Love and Grace as her inspiration to share that which she is devoted to pursuing in her life while sharing it with all who feel they are ready or at least curious to pursue. Deep Gratitude and Love to you dear Andrea, for showing up in my life at this time, and for all that I was Blessed to learn from you.

My time at the Christine Center for Andrea's retreat was just wonderful. I came away not just feeling refreshed and centered, but with actual tools to move forward with...and so much to think about! Andrea embodies all of the things she talks about, you can see it...feel it. Her knowledge of Ayurveda, the body, nature, and how it all ties into each other, is incredible. Anyone who has the opportunity to experience learning from Andrea should make it a priority to do so!
