Hello, I'm Andrea. In 2015, at the age of 34, my life took an unexpected turn when I was diagnosed with stage 3B breast cancer. It all began with a routine visit to my gynecologist, where a lump was discovered during a breast exam. The diagnosis was Infiltrating Ductal Carcinoma - Stage 3B. Shortly after, I underwent genetic testing and learned that I carried the BRCA 1 gene mutation, significantly increasing my risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer. In the face of uncertainty, I adopted two guiding principles: to maintain a positive outlook and to trust in my medical team's expertise.

My treatment journey from December 2015 to December 2018 was intense and demanding. It encompassed 16 rounds of chemotherapy, followed by five weeks of daily radiation therapy. Additionally, I underwent multiple surgeries, including a complex double mastectomy with reconstruction, plagued with numerous complications.

Emerging from treatment, I've embraced life with renewed vigor, determined to live authentically and purposefully. This newfound perspective led me to make significant life changes—I switched careers, started my own business, deepened my spiritual practice, explored numerous countries, found love and am enjoying marriage.

Professionally, I bring over a decade of coaching experience from both university and Fortune 100 corporate settings.  I bring a wealth of expertise to my coaching practice. My professional journey has equipped me with a deep understanding of the challenges my clients face, particularly those navigating the complexities of cancer.
