Inspiration. Motivation. Transformation.
From 328 pounds, to triathlete, to becoming a mom of 2 boys (in her 40’s), to being diagnosed with a genetic fat disorder that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise, Andrea knows a thing or two about food, fitness, body image, and overcoming life’s non-stop challenges.
Her superpower is letting women know that they are not alone in their shame, fear, and negative self-talk that keeps them feeling like a failure. Through her vulnerability, wisdom and insight, Andrea empowers women to find love, peace, and joy in food, fitness, their bodies and their lives, no matter what size they wear, what shape they’re in, or their season of life.
Most laugh, some cry, all are transformed.

Learning to Love an "Ugly" Body
Andrea shares her personal story of how she found herself trapped in a body that weighed 328lbs, how she escaped, and how she overcame what she was left with.
In her mid-30’s, Andrea underwent a total lifestyle transformation which left her with a body that didn’t even come close to looking like the certified personal trainer, CrossFit coach, and triathlete she had become.
While standing in front of a dressing room mirror, sobbing with disappointment that her dream of looking “cute” in a jean skirt was never going to happen, she realized she had two choices:
- Spend the rest of her life at war with her body, wishing it looked different
- Embrace the incredibly strong and capable body she had created, that was allowing her to live the life she always wanted
She chose the latter.
When you invite Andrea to speak on the topic of body image, your audience won’t just be told to stand naked in front of a mirror for 10 minutes a day until they love what they see. They will change their perspective on the purpose of their body, improve their relationship with their body, and be empowered to live in their body.
