A Look Into

The Path
I Walk Today

I’m an Āyurvedic doctor, yoga therapist, and meditation teacher rooted in Madison, Wisconsin, with winters spent in Nosara, Costa Rica.

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 back to yourself, reconnect you with what truly matters, and help you live in alignment with your essential nature.

Āyurveda, yoga, and meditation practices offer more than relief; they help us live meaningfully—not just for ourselves but in service to something greater.

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

Hey, It's Andrea

my journey to

Back to Center

That glimpse of a new way of living opened a door I hadn’t known existed. Over three decades, I studied with remarkable teachers in the U.S. and India, pouring myself into 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 profound self-understanding and healing. Living the principles of Āyurveda, supported by yoga and meditation, transformed not only my health but my way of being in the world.

My work began as an effort to ease my own suffering and transform my life. I found myself living off grid 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 navigate life’s inevitable losses, reconnect with what truly matters, and live with purpose. Through the challenges and the healing, 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 ancient traditions and modern insights, but from my own lived experience of transformation. It’s an honor to guide others on their journeys of healing and coming home to themselves.

community ethos

We believe in the power of slowing down — to feel, to heal, and to reconnect with what truly matters. In a world that often pulls us toward busyness and distraction, we choose a different path. We gather not to seek something new but to gently uncover what has always been within. Our true nature is already whole, vibrant, and worthy; it just needs space to breathe and be seen.

We honor the journey of each individual — embracing the profound awakenings that bring us closer to our authentic selves. This is not a place of striving or perfection but of loving awareness, where health and vitality are nurtured in the most gentle ways.

Here, movement is a celebration, presence is a gift, and every moment is an opportunity to connect with our bodies, our breath, and our community. We practice together with intention, knowing that by nurturing our well-being, we create ripples of change that extend beyond ourselves.

Together, we step into each day with clarity, purpose, and the quiet knowing that we are exactly where we need to be.

That makes me qualified to do what I do

“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.
