Andrea’s passionate and dedicated food journey began over twenty years ago while reading the 1971 bestseller, “Diet for a Small Planet”. While learning about the global food industry, she became aware that food was so much greater than just calories, taste, or even family tradition. As she began to comprehend the social, political, and economic significance of food production and distribution, Andrea felt compelled to make vast changes in her lifestyle that continue to resonate deep into her personal and professional life today. Andrea has worked in the field of social work for the past fifteen years, primarily with adults living with chronic mental illness. The gift of this demanding work has been a deep and sympathetic understanding of human behavior as well as the judgement free skill of true listening. Andrea combines an M.Ed. in humane education with her certification in food psychology to be a devoted and optimistic coach with an authentic confidence in radiant health and profound transformation.
