A six-session journey of healing, creativity, and conscious life design
$2,095, paid in 4 installments
The world feels more complex, intense, and polarized than ever. Many people find themselves pulled in countless directions—uncertain where to place their energy, how to make meaningful decisions, or how to move forward with clarity and purpose. In moments like these, your attention, awareness, and intention become your most powerful tools. When aligned, they don’t just change your life—they create a ripple effect that touches everything around you.
Design Your Life: A Holistic 6-Session Journey was created as a guided pause—a space to realign, release what no longer serves you, and consciously design the life you’re here to live. Over six weeks, experienced over the course of two months, you’ll move through a personalized, step-by-step process that blends the practical framework of Design Thinking with deep emotional and spiritual practices. This is both strategy and soul work, woven together.
Drawing on seven years of teaching alongside Stanford professors in the renowned Designing Your Life model, and 18 years as a holistic healer working with body, mind, and spirit, I bring a rare integration of clarity and compassion. I will serve as your guide on this journey—walking beside you as you dissolve old patterns, reconnect with your authentic self, and uncover renewed direction, balance, and purpose.
Conducted entirely over Zoom, each of the six modules supports awareness, growth, and renewal through thoughtful inquiry, experiential practices, and practical tools you can apply immediately. Design Thinking provides a creative, human-centered approach to navigating challenges—rooted in empathy, experimentation, and iteration—while the emotional and spiritual work allows for deeper healing, insight, and lasting transformation.
This journey is for those who feel ready to say yes to themselves—to move from feeling scattered or stuck into living with greater peace, understanding, and intention. When you design your life consciously, clarity emerges, possibility expands, and meaningful change becomes not only possible, but inevitable.
This is your invitation to step into the journey—and discover what becomes possible when you design your life from the inside out.

Program Breakdown
-
We begin by honoring your story — the experiences, beliefs, and truths that have shaped who you are. From there, the work focuses on translating those insights into practical tools for everyday life, using Stanford’s Design Thinking Model to clarify challenges, test new approaches, and apply what’s learned in real-world situations. Intentions are set with a focus on actionable steps and realistic possibilities.
-
In this session, the focus is on identifying beliefs and coping strategies developed earlier in life and examining how they affect current choices. Andrea’s guided process helps create insight and self-compassion, allowing space for more grounded, intentional, and authentic living.
-
As your inner landscape softens and expands, we explore what truly matters to you.
Through guided reflection, you’ll uncover where your values align — or diverge — and create three alternate visions of your future (Odyssey Plans).
This playful and creative process opens the door to possibility, alignment, and inspired direction. -
Here, you’ll learn to ideate — to dream, imagine, and explore what’s possible from a centered and intuitive place.
Andrea will guide you through healing and meditative practices that quiet the mind and awaken creativity.
You’ll practice discernment as an act of listening to your heart’s wisdom, learning to choose what feels true and alive for you. -
It’s time to bring your ideas into form.
You’ll learn how to prototype your visions — taking small, tangible steps that make your dreams real and sustainable.
This session also helps you build a supportive network — the people and structures that nurture your growth and help you stay grounded in your transformation.
-
In our closing session, we will weave everything together.
You’ll review and refine your action plan, celebrate your growth, and anchor your commitment to living with clarity, joy, and purpose.
Andrea will guide you through a final healing experience to uplift and integrate the teachings of your journey — so you can step fully into your next chapter with confidence and connection.
Throughout all sessions, the heart of the work is connection, curiosity, and compassion. Here, Design Thinking becomes more than a problem-solving method — it becomes a healing practice. This process invites you to reimagine your life with a compassionate mind, a courageous heart, and a renewed excitement for designing a future that feels authentic, aligned, and truly your own.
You’ll be fully supported every step of the way with practical tools, resources, and guidance to help you deepen your transformation and stay engaged between sessions.
