Meet Coach Andrew

I help others embrace the power of their life transitions. I believe the confusion and the unfamiliar that often accompany change can actually help us be more present, imaginative, and open to greater possibilities.

My personal and professional experiences taught me to embrace crossroads and roadblocks for the lessons they are. I believe there are no mistakes in life, only opportunities for a different path.

I also work as a fitness coach and meditation teacher, with a knack for helping others find their unique body, mind, and spirit connections.

I am currently enrolled in the Mindfulness and Meditation Teacher Program lead by the meditation luminaries Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield

The Beginning of the ROAD

The ROAD framework began when I was in graduate school researching successful aging. Older adults shared stories of aging as a time of both profound personal growth and significant loss. They embodied both/and strategies that allowed them to accept limits while simultaneously challenging themselves to grow mentally, spiritually, and physically. I realized these same strategies could help people of any age in times of change. And so was born Your Yes, And… a mindset where we accept where we are and work toward our possibilities through the ROAD.
