Not because you weren't disciplined enough.
Not because you didn't want it badly enough.
Because something about the way it was being taught felt off.
Too loud. Too ego driven. Too disconnected from everything else you know to be true about your body.
You practice yoga. You meditate. You have crystals on your nightstand and books like Women Who Run With The Wolves on your shelf. You go on sacred retreats and crave the deeper side of everything.
You know it would be good for you. You want to get back to it.
You just want to do it your way.
Strong Enough To Lift. Still Enough To Listen.
What if your strength training felt as intentional as your yoga practice?
There's no bro energy here. No pushing through at all costs. No disconnecting from your body to hit a number on a scale.
This is something different entirely.
This is strength training that honors your energy, your cycle, your seasons and your soul.

I've spent 19 years helping women build strength that actually lasts- without losing themselves in the process. I’m a personal trainer, yoga teacher, Ayurvedic Wellness Counselor & postpartum doula.
My approach is:
Grounded — simple, effective programming that respects real life
Devotional — reverence for the body, recovery, and rhythm
Wise — discernment over trends and progress that matches your capacity
I work especially well with women who are thoughtful, deeply intuitive, and strong in their own way. Women who want training to feel like an anchor in their life, not another thing demanding everything they've got.

What Training With Andrea Actually Looks Like
1:1 personal training: virtual, in person (Minneapolis Area), or hybrid of both. Three months. Built entirely around your dosha, your energy, and your life. This is where Ayurveda enters the picture.
Your workouts live in the Everfit app with everything you need between sessions.
Each month you'll also have access to The Sacred Meditation Circle- one hour, deep not wide. It's optional but trust me, you won't want to miss it.
✦ Back body focus — glutes, back, triceps and sneaky core work your modern body actually needs and probably isn't getting
✦ Ayurvedic intake — so every recommendation is built around your dosha (mind/body type) and current imbalances
✦ Flexibility built in — some days we lift. Some days we do yoga. Your body gets to decide
✦ The whole woman approach — recipes, evening routines, custom meditations and yoga nidra because strength isn't just physical
✦ Real conversation — Ayurvedic wisdom and honest talk about what's actually getting in your way during each session.
✦ The Sacred Meditation Circle — monthly one hour deep dives included throughout our time together
✦ Ongoing support — you're not doing this alone. I'm in your corner between sessions too
Everything That's Included:
what's included
Ready. Let's go!
All options include a free 20 minute discovery call to make sure we're the right fit before you commit to anything.
This if for you:
✦ You've tried lifting before but couldn't make it stick
✦ You're craving accountability AND depth
✦ You're done with surface level fitness and ready for something that speaks to your whole self
✦ You want a trainer who gets both your drive AND your need to slow down
✦ You're open to Ayurveda or simply curious about what it might unlock for you
This Isn't for you:
✦ Macro counting and rigid meal plans are your thing- that's just not my methodology
✦ You want someone to just count your reps and nothing else
✦ You want punishment based intensity or a one size fits all plan
✦ You're not open to the Ayurvedic conversation

I'm proud to say I'm down 40 pounds, my cholesterol is normal for the first time in years and I booked my surfing trip to Costa Rica. She didn't just change my body. She gave me my life back."
I want to send deep gratitude to Andrea for working with me over the years. She helped me find structure again after so long without it — and planted the seeds for me to truly investigate my relationship with food.

I've attended her retreats, gone through Peri-Pause, and completed her 8 week strength program. She's not just a trainer -she's a teacher and coach who genuinely keeps you motivated and coming back for more."
Andrea has a gift for breaking down complex topics — workouts, Ayurveda, menstrual cycle awareness- into simple, digestible pieces I can actually apply to my life.

A custom Ayurvedic cleanse with Andrea didn't just change my habits — it changed who I am. Eight years later I've kept the weight off and feel more confident and happy in myself than I ever have. Life changing doesn't even cover it."
Working with Andrea changed my life — and I mean that literally. I lost 30 pounds, stopped smoking, and stopped drinking to numb myself.
Lynn D.
But honestly- the number on the scale isn't even the point. I've gotten my health back. I feel better than I did when I was 20."
After just 6 months with Andrea I lost over 20 pounds, dropped 2 dress sizes, and finally reached a healthy weight range for my height.
Theresa g.
From personal training to Sacred Seasons to her retreats — every experience has helped me grow. I've watched Andrea evolve over the years and have benefited from every layer she brings. Weaving Ayurveda and yoga into my life has been a game changer."
Working with Andrea has taught me how to truly listen to my body — and understand how to work WITH myself instead of against it.
Client Success Stories

No — your program is built around your equipment and your space. No gym required.
Yes. We'll make strength complement your yoga practice, not compete with it.
Both! Sessions are available via Zoom or in person in the Minneapolis area. Your program lives in the Everfit app so everything is accessible wherever you are.
No meal plans here. Instead I offer seasonal, intuitive nourishment guidance that actually supports how your body feels and recovers.
Most trainers give you a plan and count your reps. I look at the whole picture — your nervous system, your season of life, your dosha, your energy levels and your relationship with your body. This program is a reflection of ALL of you, not just your fitness goals.
Most of my clients come in Ayurveda curious not Ayurveda fluent — and that's perfectly fine. I weave the principles in naturally as we work together. Think of it as wisdom that meets you where you are.
