What people are saying

Artboard 1

Andrea's initial editing gave me a better understanding of how to take my book forward.

Her expertise has inspired my soul.


She actually teaches others how to write and bring their material into book form. I strongly suggest if you have any inkling to write a book to contact her.

— Gene Skaggs, "The Brighter Side of Darkness | The X Factor"

Working with Andrea was a turning point in my journey as a writer. I had carried the desire to write a book for years, but it always felt like a massive, overwhelming task. Andrea helped me break it down into something tangible and achievable. Her process brought structure and clarity, and in the end, I didn’t just finish the book—I became a more confident writer.


She helped me see that sharing my story wasn’t just possible, but purposeful.


I’m deeply grateful for the steady, strategic way she guided the project from idea to completion.

— Corey Gonzalez, "You Are Unique"

 I first heard about Andrea's services at a networking event. Without hesitation, I walked up to her and said, "You're going to make my dreams come true."


Five books later, I can’t imagine working with anyone else. She helped me bring the book and consulting program for "Make It A Yes" to life.


Andrea has a unique ability to bring calmness and sincere interest to every project, making her an invaluable partner in the creative process.


I always knew I had a message to share, but I didn’t know where to begin. Andrea not only helped me find my voice but also became someone I could truly trust and connect with.


I highly recommend her—she's not just an incredible editor and writer; she's a true friend and trusted confidant.

— Joshua Rogers "Make It A Yes"

So I didn’t know much about automatic writing going into this. Honestly, I wasn’t even sure what it meant. I tend to struggle with stuff I can’t quite wrap my head around, and this definitely landed in that category. But Andrea has this calm, grounded way of meeting you right where you are—whether you're new, confused, curious, or all three.


She’s not just teaching a class—she’s holding a space. And somehow, even when I was rambling or trying to figure out what I was doing, she heard the real question underneath. The way she broke things down, the way she listened, the way she offered reflections—it all felt personal, but never pushy. It was structured but still had breathing room. The invitations, the journaling prompts, the homework, even her closing thoughts—they all hit the mark.


What this class gave me, though—and this is the part I didn’t expect—is a way to journal that feels alive. It taught me how to set an intention, how to make an invitation, and how to create enough space for my thoughts to actually show up and get onto the page. It didn’t always come easy, and it didn’t always "work" in the traditional sense. But over time, it added depth and breath to how I write, and even how I think. It helped me quiet the noise and listen differently—to my own gut, heart, and mind.


So if you’re someone who’s looking to expand your awareness or deepen the connection you have with your own body, thoughts, or spirit—this kind of class, and this kind of teacher, can open that door. Andrea won’t force you through it—but she’ll show you how to knock, how to wait, and how to walk through it when it opens.


Andrea just has a gift. She’s rooted in deep wisdom but makes it simple and accessible. Whether you're a long-time journaler or just figuring out how to spell “intuition,” she makes you feel like you belong in the room.


And that’s the thing—it’s not just about the writing. It’s about learning how to connect more honestly with yourself. And Andrea knows exactly how to help you do that.
