‘ I had two sessions with Andrew in order to remove the blocks that were hindering me from completing my nursing training.
I had a big gap in my learning and was overwhelmed with responsibility of having two young children. I had lots of things in the way and needed extra support in order to pass my final exams.
I remember my first session very well. I kept thinking, no I’m not gonna be able to relax, but as he was counting backwards all of a sudden my heart started racing and I was just taken off to a different place. I went back into my childhood and into issues relating around my father and the uncared-for inner child.
I had two sessions with him, and after that, I felt this drive and certainty to complete my diploma. I was able to finish all my essays, despite the time restraints. I felt focused and unstoppable.
Andrew is a really decent, kind and openhearted human. He comes from a very genuine place. He shares from experience, not intellectual knowledge. He’s also a very spiritual human being and has a lot of knowledge related to spirituality. He shines a bright light and I always feel good in his presence. ‘
