Hi Friends, I am Andrea, a mother, a grandmother, a yoga teacher, a HearthMath Certified Clinical Coach, a certified integrative medicine health coach and a jewelry designer. My background is as eclectic as my jewelry designs. I was a TV news reporter in the 80s. As I covered more environmental disasters, I became concerned about environmental issues, so I became an environmental activist. I then realized that our real hope was in the classroom teaching children, so I went back to school and got two advanced degrees in education from the University of Virginia-- an M. Ed. in Science Education, and an Ed.S. in Curriculum and Instruction. TEACHING IS MY PASSION.

I was in the classroom for 18 years, but when my mom got sick with Alzheimer's and I got sick with Hashimoto's, I left the classroom and went back to school to learn how to heal. So two more degrees-- yoga teaching and health coaching, and hundreds of students later, I teach yoga and coach health full time. I still make jewelry and I live on Heaven Lane, so my company is called Heaven Lane Healing & Creative Arts. I have been married since 1984 to my biggest supporter, Mark. I have three amazing grown-up sons, a daughter-in-law and a beautiful granddaughter named Isabela.
