About Andi

Coming from the Air Force and Financial Planning profession to world of Wellness and Energy Healing has been a journey for Andi.  How does an analytic move from place of evidence and restrictions to a place of mystery and freedom?  In her words, “When I look forward I see the steps in a mist of mystery; when I look back I see every step and how clearly each one has brought me exactly to this place today.” 

Andi began to find inspiration in accomplishing things that were considered impossible to her.  Although she was a “girly girl” she began her adult life entering boot camp of the United States Air Force.  Although previously “clumsy” she served as a dental tech in the Air Force.  Although no one in her family had graduated college at that point, she began taking college courses and decided to transition from the Air Force to the Air National Guard to continue her education.  Her focus was on Theoretical Communication and Psychology. Although she had been a mediocre student growing up, she graduated Magna Cum Lade with Departmental Honors.  Although she failed algebra three years in a row, she entered into the finance world passing the Series 7 Stock Broker exam on the first try. 

Andi soon realized that we as humans, we truly can do anything we desire to do even if past circumstances would suggest otherwise.  She realized through thinking about the goal and visualizing about what it would feel like the day she completed the goal was the fuel needed.  She enjoyed the challenges and then began to realize when she was doing things she liked, life felt great.  Life became easy once she got comfortable with the fact that we can do things we love, earn a living, and feel great about it.  Now that she has that understanding, it is her passion to share that gift with others.

Andi has found that when people take conscious steps to take care of themselves with the assistance of another, transformation and healing are able to take place.  As a financial advisor she learned that it was never about the money; it is about how people experience joy in their lives.  Once she could help people get clear about what brought them joy, she could help them determine how to fund those experiences.  Realizing, although she was quite able to do the financial planning work, she did not find joy in crunching numbers she began to open up to what was out there for her.  She began to get clear about wanting to be Virginia/Carolina area.  Once she decided this, she “randomly” bumped into a company she worked with previously, and was offered a job in North Carolina.  Within a three-week period she and made the move to Raleigh.

Once in Raleigh for about six months, she was realizing that she was not enjoying the corporate world.  She longed for independence and a path where she could provide service.  She looked and looked and looked and finally realized the solution was with her all the time.  Andi’s long long term vision was to one day have a Wellness Center that had practitioners representing most fields of health and wellness to encompass physical to spiritual.  She had put this off because it was long-term goal and seemed so big that she did not know where to begin.  August of 2006, she decided to begin the goal no matter how far from the big picture goal she was.  In October of 2006, she opened the doors to the beginning of a great Wellness Center.  So the pages turn and the journey continues as Andi enjoys every minute of the story she is co-creating.
