    About Me

    I’m passionate about helping you explore ease and connection through gentle movement, in a space that feels safe and welcoming. As an RYT 500-certified specialist in trauma-informed yoga, I offer optional nervous system regulation sessions to complement—not replace—your journey toward well-being. These sessions invite you to try mindfulness and yoga-inspired practices at your own pace, separate from therapy.

    ​

    My approach draws inspiration from trauma research, like Dr. Bessel van der Kolk’s work in “The Body Keeps the Score,” which highlights the body’s role in wellness. But rest assured, our therapy at Steyn Integrative Counseling stands alone as a complete path to healing. Nervous system regulation is simply one of many optional tools—offered for those curious about movement-based exploration.

    ​

    If you choose to try it, we’ll move slowly, with compassion, focusing on what feels right for you. Sessions (group: $30, private: $140, cash-pay) are entirely voluntary, and I’ll share free alternatives, like guided stretches, if you prefer. You can work with me independently, or not at all—therapy alone is fully effective. If you’d like me to connect with your therapist or provider, a signed release is required for privacy.

    ​

    Curious? Check our FAQs to learn how nervous system regulation differs from therapy. I’m here to support your choices, no pressure, just possibility.

    Client Testimonial

    "I started working with Andrea because I had a feeling of “needing to cry” but had parts of me that needed me to be "tough". I recently experienced some grief, but felt a sense that there was more my body was holding onto. Working with Andrea is like stepping into a space outside of this world - completely free of judgment, deeply compassionate, and true bottom up work. I am someone who feels connected to my body, however, she makes connections and guides you in a way I don’t think I could have done alone. The first few sessions I went from frustration toward the parts of me that are stubborn to cry to full acceptance of them, due to her genuine feelings of care toward them, and eventually I grew completely comfortable with letting them be there. At the end of our sessions, I was able to have an emotional trauma release, from doing work on the mat guided by Andrea – I believe it was possible because of all the safety built up in our previous sessions. I was able to release many stored emotions from my nervous system and have felt an extreme weight lifted off my body - in a spiritual sense but also from some symptoms of chronic illness. I can’t speak highly enough of my experience - what is so special is that Andrea also TEACHES you the tools. You are able to become a driver of your own embodied experience with her guidance."
