TESTIMONIALS
“I’m not sure how she does it, but Andréa has an almost effortless way of helping you bring your ideas into focus, shape them and empower you to realize them. During numerous conversations she’s given me the space to explore what’s driving me, what my passions are and encouraged me to fuel them and that has led me to be more comfortable with vulnerability and undertake passion projects with confidence.”
Christian - Peace Officer / Creator & Host, Team Ten Eight Podcast
“It’s been a pleasure working with Andréa as a counsellor and life coach. She consistently demonstrates care, a strong commitment to quality and people-focused philosophy. Our conversations always pack a powerful punch; Andréa artfully navigates uncomfortable and tough terrain with a coach approach that is very grounded and supportive. She is also highly skilled at asking evocative questions to dive deeper into issues then holds a safe space to explore these emergent issues. Andréa pushes client to hold themselves accountable; in working with her, I’ve grown tremendously as a leader, mother, wife and person. I continue to reflect on valuable insights and learnings from our sessions together and highly recommend Andréa!”
May - Senior Manager
“Andréa has been a huge source of support and inspiration for me. One of the reasons why I believe that she's able to provide such valuable insights to others is because she has experienced such a wide range of highs and lows in her life and through that self-discovery process she's perfected her secret recipe to instill greatness in others as an extraordinary change agent based on wisdom and kindness. I would definitely recommend Andréa to anyone who is serious about maximizing their potential.”

Brigitte - Actor / Voice Actor
“Andréa Vawda’s mentoring has made a big impact in my life. I started working with her as I was struggling with direction and confidence with my next career moves. Sharing my work and ideas with her helped me in several ways:
My being able to discuss projects and brainstorm with her helped me to understand the direction I wanted each project to take.
She helped me to come up with ideas for opportunity, networking and promotion.
She helped me see the value in what I am doing and my areas of strength.
It is because of my time with Andréa I have a better understanding of where I’m going with my work and I now have more confidence to lead me towards each of my goals. Andréa’s ability to talk an idea through with insight, intuition and potential has helped me immensely. Andréa has a thoughtful, fun and exciting work flow with a strong aptitude in counselling. I would highly recommend her.”
