a transformative experience

Working with Andrew has been a transformative experience for both my professional growth and personal development. His ability to adapt to my unique needs, rather than imposing a rigid system, has made our sessions highly effective. Drawing from his technical background, he’s provided insights that have been instrumental in my professional growth, but also his focus on self-awareness drove the personal growth I experienced. I wholeheartedly recommend Andrew for anyone seeking a tailored approach to personal and career development.

clarity and focus

The clarity and focus I now have, the management of my life and its expectations, the ability to allow things to happen and the ability to reframe things is all thanks to Andrew. When I started working with Andrew I was very lost, the focus was on my career as that is what, I thought,  was causing the most pain but felt the most crucial thing in my life being the sole income provider, having to support myself, wife and two children paying the mortgage and all the bills. Andrew took me on a journey to help me re-establish my identity, to see that it was choices and certain beliefs that had put me in the position I was in and that most of it was just my mindset and not the reality of the world. He helped me identify why there were certain roles that I really enjoyed, those that aligned with my values, helped me understand how to process my needs and how certain thoughts were actually causing more problems rather than helping the situation. Things that I can now quickly identify and work through. After many years of just going with the flow, punishing myself for certain actions and ways of thinking, I now have a great focus on the things that are important to me, not just for work and jobs but to balance my life as a whole. I’m able to translate some of the thoughts into far more specific actions. I am able to understand what things are triggers, what to push against and what to not worry about, meaning that I am making much better decisions in the roles I am looking for and taking as well as the things that I am doing outside of work, including spending more time with the family. 

I would truly like to thank Andrew for clearing the fog from my mind, truly helping me move to a much better position mentally with work, roles and work life balance and I cannot recommend highly enough the work of Andrew and how very specific it was to me, my “issues” and the ways to help me move forward. The value that the investment has brought me is so vast, it’s truly difficult to measure.

clarity on what’s important to me

Having been in my current job for over a decade, I felt I was at a crossroads. Andrew has helped me enormously in enabling me to mentally take a step back and examine some of the choices I have made in the past, and what paths might be open to me in the future. I feel that Andrew’s gentle and patient manner has enabled me to explore possibilities in an encouraging and supportive environment. This space to really think and talk through how my career affects all areas of my life has enabled me to get clarity on what’s important to me, and what my goals are. Andrew’s good humour and organic process meant the sessions flew by, and I now feel that I have the tools to make necessary changes in my life – and to appreciate all the things that are going well! Thank you Andrew, you have helped enormously, and I would thoroughly recommend you to others.

exactly the medicine I needed

I started working with Andrew with the intention to feel more confident in myself. I wanted to find love, have a family, be more successful in life. I walked in a person full of fear and not in the driving seat of my own life. I walked away a completely different person. If you’d told me on day one I’d be working my dream job, fall in love and have a child, I wouldn’t have believed it, but here I am. Andrew had a way of gently challenging me on my current narratives, reframing, seeing things from a different perspective, connecting to my body. I now seek out fearful activities such as improv classes, dancing classes – this was so specific to me, exactly the medicine I needed. What I benefited from the most is it didn’t feel as though Andrew had a list of tools and tricks that he uses to help his clients, it felt more tailored than that. He spent time to really get to know and understand the issues I was facing, and then developing the tools around that. The plan of action specifically designed to suit me, and I believe that’s why it was so impactful. Highly recommend working with him if you’re feeling stuck.

achieve greater clarity and impact

Andrew is a skilled facilitator in coach-like leadership and has much experience with both career mentoring and coaching leaders on culture and organisational health. I have also experienced firsthand his skill in leading mindful workshops, meditation and meetings that achieve greater clarity and impact. As a facilitator, meditation teacher, and overall guru of culture, I would not hesitate to work with him again.

confidence, hope and positivity

When you decide to make a change, whether on a personal or professional level, it can be rather difficult to identify your weaknesses and strengths if you view them from within your comfort zone. Looking in the mirror and making a constructive judgement that allows you to develop a strategy to achieve that personal or professional change is by no means an easy task.

I went through that experience at a professional level. I have over 10 years of experience in the energy sector, taking on different roles across various fields, and when I decided to make a substantial change in my career, I didn’t know where to start.

Having the support of a third party – someone who can objectively assess your profile and help you shape a strategy to achieve that change effectively and efficiently – is exactly what I found in Andrew. His guidance throughout the process was undoubtedly key. He helped me discern which skills could support me in achieving that change, which were the transferable skills regardless of the field of application, and, most importantly, how to turn those skills into your toolkit for reaching the desired transformation.

Having expert support is essential, especially in contexts where one is blind when looking in the mirror and unable to step out of the comfort zone. Developing confidence, hope and positivity was the result of Andrew’s guidance during this process. Without a doubt, he is someone you can trust and who will surely help you find the best path forward if you are seeking change in your life, whether personal or professional.

calming and mindful

Andrew ran a series of weekly meditation sessions at my company. Andrew’s presence alone is very calming and mindful which set a great tone for the session. Andrew was always receptive to the people in the session and tailored the session to meet the people where they are and what would be most helpful for them. Participant feedback was extremely positive.

funny and entertaining

I have known Andrew as a meditation guide since the beginning of the pandemic, when he ran daily remote meditation sessions open for anyone who wanted to join. For many of us this became an anchor of hope during the harder times of the lockdown. Andrew’s profound knowledge of different meditation styles proved very insightful; he even taught us that meditation, at its core, can be funny and entertaining. With his calm and positive demeanour, he helped each of us get better every day in the face of the constant struggle against daily distractions.

the humorous side of life

If you are looking to try meditation for the first time or just progressing in your practice (you got stuck? Or you ‘lost’ your practice), Andrew is a great teacher to guide you through the path. It’s not just his profound knowledge (he has a Masters in this!) on how meditation works neurologically, on the best techniques and different approaches, it’s his personal experience and ability to tune in to what is going on with you that makes the difference. He’s no glorified guru sitting on a mountain top looking down on you- he’s real, he’s been through stuff and he can really, truly listen and leave his ego behind to support you. It doesn’t hurt that he’s also extremely funny. In fact, that’s what keeps you coming back to him: his ability to see the humorous side of life, to live in the playfulness and truth of the moment that really seals the deal. Oh, and the little stories. Highly recommend.

helped me find more balance

I’ve meditated with Andrew consistently for over 2 years. Meditating with his guidance has hugely helped me find more balance and connect better with myself in my busy daily life. We did online sessions and also meditated in person when we had the chance to meet up. Andrew has a calm, kind and genuine personality. His welcoming, curious and non-judgemental manner makes it very easy to open up and relax in his presence. He has often helped me, with his wisdom as much as with his tongue-in-cheek humour. He is very versed in many different kinds of meditation. This has helped me to practice awareness and mindfulness in different ways and always find a fitting approach, wherever I am on that particular day (both spacialy and mentally). Andrew is both a great listener and a great mentor. I’ll happily endorse him and do strongly recommend his meditation courses.

lifesaver

Three times a week I look particularly forward to my lunch break… Because I will do meditation with Andrew. That half hour of Meditation has on some days been a lifesaver and on others a well-deserved break on a busy day. Andrew is teaching style is down-to-earth and practical. Anytime he can and will adjusted to the students needs in that moment in time. As well as offering different styles of meditation, so every student can find something that works for him or her. I could highly recommend doing meditation with Andrew.

useful and supportive insights

I had the opportunity to meet Andrew through the online Yoga and Meditation event created together with Valentina during Pandemic and have since followed Andrew’s meditations for at least two years.

I am grateful for the opportunity to have practised with Andrew and to have been part of the Meditation group where we met regularly online and live.
I learnt so much from Andrew through his meditations and initial guidance before each practice, I began to be more aware of my thoughts and familiarised with my own breath and body, rediscovering the essential importance of just stopping.
Andrew has a great ability to listen and welcome others without judgement which has been important to me, and he also has a very realistic and concrete method in practice emphasising the importance of learning a daily self-help tool due to his vast experience and knowledge which he imparts in his sessions, where I have received many useful and supportive insights for practice by applying them in life. Thank you Andrew!

opened up a new world

When I first joined Andrew’s meditation group during the pandemic, I was skeptical. Meditation wasn’t something I’d ever done before, and the idea of doing it online felt odd to me. However, from the very first session, I realized there was something special about Andrew’s approach. After just a week of daily meditation, I began to feel its deep effects.What started as a tentative 15-minute daily practice quickly grew into a 45-minute session that I looked forward to each day. Andrew’s thoughtful guidance, from deep breathing to loving-kindness meditation, opened up a new world for me. I began experiencing moments of clarity and inner peace that I had never known before, which were key in helping me navigate an uncertain time in my life.

Andrew’s endless patience and gentle encouragement helped me connect deeply with myself. I am truly grateful to him for introducing me to this practice. I cannot recommend his meditation coaching enough—it’s been nothing short of life-changing.
