Andrea was born with the "fat genes" and she started gaining weight quickly in highschool. She went on her first diet when she was 17 years old, and continued to get fatter. She graduated from college (50 pounds heavier than when she started) with a science degree in Biology. After years of dieting, losing weight temporarily and then gaining it all back (also known as yo-yo dieting), she made an amazing discovery that changed everything... and she started losing weight effortlessly. It has been over 7 years since her discovery and she continues to get healthier and thinner every year.
Andrea has been teaching yoga since 2005 and wrote her first book "How To Lose Weight By Feeding And Nourishing Your Spirit" in 2006. She has dedicated her life to helping other women that are struggling to lose weight. Her approach to weight loss has helped inspire thousands of women around the world to connect their mind, body and spirit for natural and permanent weight loss.
In her spare time, Andrea volunteers to teach yoga to at-risk teens through Yoga-Ed, a program that brings yoga into the public schools.
