A Look Into

My Path

I’m an Āyurvedic doctor, yoga therapist, and meditation teacher rooted in Madison, Wisconsin, with winters spent where it's warmer.

If I could offer you just one truth, it’s this: 

There is a way to move through life’s suffering—through feeling out of balance, unwell, anxious, or overwhelmed.

There are tools that can guide you to see through limiting beliefs, expand perception, and live in alignment with your inherent potential.

Āyurveda, yoga, and meditation offer more than relief. They help us wake up to life in a more meaningful way, not just for ourselves but in service to the world in enduring ways.

Having walked this path myself, I’ve witnessed how this potent combination can heal the body, clarify the mind, and awaken consciousness.

My Journey

That glimpse of a new way of living opened a door I hadn’t known existed. Over the following three decades, I studied with remarkable teachers in the U.S. and India, immersing myself in the teachings of Āyurveda, yoga, and meditation.

Along the way, I faced my own health challenges—IBS, chronic fatigue, and peripheral neuropathy—that no form of medicine seemed to fully address.

Āyurveda became the path that guided me to self-understanding, holistic health, and healing. The ongoing study and practice of dharma, meditation, and yoga transformed my way of perceiving reality and being in the world.

My work began as an effort to ease my own suffering and transform my life. I found myself living in the redwoods of California, immersed in Eastern practices that promised to elevate personal and collective awareness as a means of serving our hurting world.

These practices taught me how to take care of the body, see through what binds us, and live with clarity. Through the healing and the insights, my mission became clear: to offer others the tools and support to live healthier, happier, more meaningful lives.

Today, I teach not only from the wisdom of timeless traditions and modern scientific insight, but also from my own personal transformation. It’s an honor to support others as they care for their health and awaken to the fundamental nature of their inherent potential.

“Andrea is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and ethical. She is a true treasure in the world of wellness.”

After being diagnosed with breast cancer I knew I wanted a holistic approach that would complement my medical treatment. Andrea offered many simple, concrete ways to help me feel better as I recovered from surgery, went through radiation, and eventually went on challenging hormone blocking medication. From encouraging me to be kind to myself to suggesting things I could eat and drink to ease brain fog and fatigue during radiation – she was there for me every step of the way. My brain fog and fatigue have eased and I felt more in control of my cancer journey through working with her. I couldn’t have gotten through treatment without her wisdom and guidance.

Andrea is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and ethical. During a dark time, I looked forward to our meetings and the light she brought to my cancer journey. She is a true treasure in the world of wellness. I would highly recommend Andrea’s services to anyone who’s struggling with their health or who just needs a little extra help.
