“I’m not someone who finds it particularly easy to relax around new people. Andrea seemed to understand that without my having to explain it. No awkwardness, no expectations, just a genuinely lovely woman who made me feel welcome exactly as I was.”

“Andrea is wonderfully funny, delightfully curious, and entirely capable of making you laugh at something so ridiculous that you forget you’re sitting across from a woman who looks like she stepped out of a classic Hollywood film. She’s equal parts sweetheart, philosopher, and troublemaker. And I mean every one of those as a compliment.”

“Had Andrea been born during the time of the great Romantic painters, hers would be the face of all of their finest works. The ones that frustrated them the most, because, as incredibly rendered as they were, they could never quite fully encapsulate her. She’s such a beautiful listener, and so patient, that I almost forget why I’m there.”

“Andrea has a remarkable gift for making people comfortable. She doesn’t overwhelm you or expect you to arrive as some impossibly confident version of yourself. I left feeling lighter, happier, and perhaps most unexpectedly, a little more confident in myself. For someone who almost canceled out of nerves, I can’t imagine having missed the experience. She’s really quite something.”
