Connecting deeper with YOU would be delightful— thanks for being here.

Hello there lovelies, I’m Andrea. Welcome to an openhearted invitation to thrive in your (our) awareness, dance in self-acceptance and live fully from that communal place of our inseparable divine LOVE. We are in this together. 

I indulge in being a certified yoga instructor, actress, mama, wife, published writer and the one behind “Mindful Living”.  While these are cherished and (challenging!) hat’s I wear, strip away the titles and I’m a human just like you. It lights me up to empower people to accept themselves— just as they are and have faith that is where the real journey will begin. This a place for me to encourage a positive connection to your mind, body, spirit through several sources with the hopes you’ll fall in love with every fiber of what makes you… YOU.

My interpretation of Mindful Living is moving through each day with the awareness that cultivates more compassion and meaning to our lives in all that we do. It’s a perfectly imperfect life with a wholehearted desire to be more present, joyful, vulnerable and loving with ourselves, each other and the world which encompasses our being. Exploring what this looks like for you evolves as you evolve. Being inspired to live our best lives emotionally, physically, spiritually, responsibly and compassionately is full of choices. Somedays those choices are easy and other days they absolutely suck. We’ve all been there and we’ll be there again so I’m here to remind us we can meet those moments by living more mindfully. 

I humbly embrace my midwestern Missouri roots as they have kept me grounded through seventeen years of up’s and down’s of being in Hollywood and drew me to the quiet country life of Sonoma, California where I currently live with my wonderful husband and effervescent daughter’s. Being a professional dancer, turned actress wasn’t easy an easy road. My achievements and public image looked great on the outside but looking on the inside, I was struggling. In my early thirties my positive efforts were lessoning and negativity was burdening me when I had to just sit with myself. Rejection, self-doubt, poor life-style choices, joint pain, stress and the heartache from it all revealed insecurities and health concerns I wanted to address and heal. Through adversity I fell in love with yoga and meditation over the last decade thus being the catalyst for a wellness transformation in all areas of my life.  It’s pretty remarkable when you commit to practices & habits that make your soul feel alive how empowered you become to live your truth— a truth I passionately wanted to pay forward as I launched this blog in 2015. While some things are steadfast, I’m also continuously rediscovering the ever changing self-care recipe that motivates me to show up as someone I’m proud of for myself, my family and people I hope to inspire. 

As you wander around here and come back for more, I look forward to connecting through  laughter, tears, great stories and experiences and be reminded we are truly in this walk of life together. Now, take a deep in-hale and ex-hale, grab my hand and let’s have some FUN!

I love being a contributor with Mindbodygreen, SFYogaMagazine & other digital wellness platforms aligned with mindful living— feel free to explore further.
