I had such an excellent experience working with Absolute Wellness. My eyes opened up to many new, fresh and different ideas about what my health is, and what I wanted to change. It was amazing to know and feel comforted by the fact that I really do have so much potential and that I know what is best for me. I feel very supported through the experience.

I am learning how to do things for myself and not for others all the time. When I take care of me I have so much more energy and can tackle so much more. I can see myself being active weekly and making good food choices, no matter where I am. The small changes add up and I try to live by that. I learned ways to eat better to have more energy. I feel confident going into my marriage that I know I can be myself with my husband and also know 100% how I feel about having children. I looked deep within to resolve this issue and it was so easy with absolute wellness.

I feel confident with negotiating work issues and my job security. I feel my professional life has been reframed. I am moving forward no matter what happens; nothing can stop me! I see uncertainty as opportunity and this has taken a lot of pressure off me. My husband and I are connecting more and getting along better because I am less stressed, and this makes it easier for us to work out together.

I highly recommend personal training With Absolute Wellness online, it is really easy.  The format is simple to use, with videos and straightforward explanations from Andrea herself. I loved the stretching after the workouts and I quickly became more flexible.  My kids enjoyed the stretching with me.

Honestly, I was always excited to wake up and log on the Absolute Wellness Online to find out what Andrea put together for me that day. I am not a "go to the gym" type of person, with my own business, 2 children and husband time is of the essence.  This is what I love about Absolute Wellness.  You can make time to complete these effective workouts at which ever time best suits you and your schedule!

Saying that I never workout out, used to bother me. Although I was small, I was far from strong and "fit". I now look in the mirror and flex my arms knowing how hard I am working and it makes me smile. I have continued working out and I have noticed an increase in energy and the feeling of health.

I am a Massage Therapist, so keeping fit and practicing what I want my clients to do is extremely important. I am stronger and my posture is much better.

The accountability to working out for me was the biggest challenge.  Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Absolute Wellness changed my life. I have never been so amazed at how a training and lifestyle program can positively affect someone's entire life. I was desperate to find something that would keep me on track for a fitness plan and what I received was a life-altering experience! I went from surviving in chaos to thriving in balance. Andrea is an amazing coach who understands what people go through in the daily grind of trying to be the best we can be and overcome the obstacles along the way. I started the program three months before my wedding and felt the best I could feel in my wedding dress! It was a great feeling! Then I became pregnant and was so thankful that I have a program that supports me no matter what stage of my life I am in. Now I am confident I will have the best pregnancy I can because my body will be strong and so will my mind. One of the biggest revelations that has come to me since joining is how powerful our mind can be, for better or worse. The coaching calls are so essential because sometimes our worse enemy is the doubt that creeps in our minds and taints our outlook. The coaching calls work through that and you come out the other side feeling victorious! I will remain on this lifestyle program because it works and I can be happy knowing that I am investing time, money and energy into creating health and wellness in ME!

Since using Absolute Wellness Online I have noticed a difference in my attitude being much more positive.

I feel a big difference in my level of strength and my daily energy level has increased immensely. I really enjoy the variety of exercises, the flexibility of the workouts done on my time & in the privacy of my home.

The program is a great guide that keeps me focused and motivated in the right direction. I feel fabulous. Awesome Wellness Online is an amazing tool!

Thank You

I HIGHLY recommend working with Andrea if you feel you are ready to make a positive change in your life. I’ve had the privilege of having Andrea in my life for over three years. She has been my personal trainer, nutritional counsellor and lifestyle coach and she has become my dear friend. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable, caring and inspiring.

Andrea is the most ambitious, self-disciplined, and self-motivated person I know. She is the single most positive influence in my hectic life and I appreciate the positive track she keeps me on! She made me believe in myself again - something, as a stay-at –home mom of 5 children, I had lost.

I’ve seen and made several wonderful changes in the last 3 years. I’ve lost weight and inches, completed several 5 km races, 2 triathlons, and I’ve developed much better eating drinking habits. I have also acquired knowledge of how to live a healthier lifestyle and became, in general, a happier, healthier, more positive person, wife and mom!

Thanks, Andrea! Couldn’t have, wouldn’t have done it without you!!

When I began my coaching with Andrea, I had over 30 boxes of clutter in our upstairs bathroom (even the bathtub was full!) and more boxes and piles of paper spread out in our office.  Every time I walked into the room, I was overwhelmed with anxiety and I found it extremely challenging to tackle any of the clutter or if I did, more clutter seemed to creep back in and nothing really changed despite my efforts. 

Through Andrea's coaching, firstly I was able to understand why the clutter had come into my life.  Then with Andrea's support I was able set up a plan and take daily action in removing the clutter in my life.  Pessimism and overwhelm soon changed to optimism, hopefulness, increased confidence and immediate success as Andrea helped me to clear spaces and set up systems that would keep me organized. 

I really appreciated Andrea's non-judgemental support.  She is so positive, encouraging, profession, enthusiastic & creative!  I really felt that she tailored the coaching sessions to meet my needs.  I highly recommend Andrea as a coach for anyone who is serious about making changes in their life!  Just do it! 

One of the biggest wins from Andrea's coaching is that it kick started the decluttering process and cleared the emotions that were holding me back from taking action therefore creating lasting and permanent change!

For all of my early adult life I had been a physically active girl carrying a few extra pounds.  I gained a lot of weight with my first child and lost a bit after his birth, but with demands of being a mother and wife the activity completely stopped and the weight stayed put.

When my second child was about 18 months old, I was feeling tired, fat, and slow!  I was unsatisfied with life and restless.  I thought I would see what a local community work out facility had to offer, I had been very active before children and I knew fitness was in my heart.    Looking back now, I see that there were so many underlying issues - tired, fat and slow were just the superficial feelings.  The core reasons for wanting to make a change in my life were the underlying beliefs that I was weak, small; no one saw or heard me.  I felt invisible and I felt like life was running me instead of me running my life.

It was at this community gym where I met Andrea.  I felt that I did not have enough strength in me to take this journey alone.  So when the suggestion of personal training was brought to my attention - I signed on.  Working out with Andrea over the past 2 ½ years has changed my life.  I have also had the pleasure of experiencing a hand full of coaching sessions with her as well.  Her workouts have challenged me and caused me to grow in ways I could not have imagined.  In my life coaching sessions I found her to be sensitive and very present.  She has an amazing ability to read a person and know just what to ask and just how to word the question - which made me feel extremely safe.  Andrea has an amazing ability to break down the excuses clients use to stop them from achieving their goals.  She has a beautiful way of guiding you through exercises both physically and mentally while at the same time teaching you how to do these things for yourself.  Because at the end of day, I am the one responsible for making it happen.   In my time with Andrea I have completed a Triathlon, several running races, lost 45+ lbs and conquered some of my biggest “life fears”. 

 I come away from my sessions with Andrea felling EMPOWERED!   I no longer feel invisible, I feel like a beautiful bright light.  I know she is one of the best tools in my “life tool box”.  I have gained more knowledge in the last 2 years than I ever thought possible when I first singed up to work with a personal trainer.  I am grateful for my time with Andrea every day!

Andrea, I am so grateful for all of your coaching, your training programs and friendship. Without you in my life, I would not have had the courage or confidence to take the first initial step in going out on my own.

In the two short years that I have known you, you have ridden beside me on those early morning bike rides to train for my trek to Philadelphia; you have developed programs to assist in the healing and strengthening of my broken leg,; and have listened to and coached my broken spirit to its uplifted self.

Due to your coaching and training programs, I am strong enough physically and emotionally to take this next step in my life and am confident in doing so. Also, I am really enjoying my training sessions and am getting stronger each and every day. I love how I can track my progress and see the changes. My clothes are also starting to fit better and I have been faithful to my diet, sleep and self-care.

I have surrounded myself with like-minded, supportive individuals who have been very encouraging and helpful with suggestions. You being the top of the list.

I just wanted to THANK YOU for your belief in me.

I've been involved in triathlons for years and wanted to take my training to the next level and improve my results in the sport. I contacted Andrea after I heard about the triathlon clinic she runs. I wasn't able to train with the group, but Andrea and I were able to work out something that fit my schedule. I trained on my own with the schedule Andrea provided and talked with her on the phone once per week.

When we started this journey my goal was to take off ~4:30-5min off my bike and keep my run the same. In my first race after working with Andrea, I brought my bike down 4:30 and increased my run by ~1min. In my second race, I brought my bike time down almost 5 min AND I took off 45 sec from my fastest run time in a race!!! At a point during one of the races I was struggling up a hill, but I thought about when you said..."you own it" and I pushed hard up the hills.

I am very happy with myself and my accomplishments and I am hoping to continue on this journey. I plan to continue working with Andrea as I set new goals to race in longer distance triathlons next year.

THANK YOU ANDREA FOR ALL YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT AND SUPPORT OVER THE LAST 2 MONTHS! I feel that because of your encouragement, support and training schedule I have been able to take my racing to a new level....and of course I would love to continue on this journey for next season.

It is almost exactly one year to the day since I started my journey with Andrea at Absolute Wellness.  I feel like a different person and still have moments where I don’t recognize myself in the mirror.  My goal initially was to live a more healthy life and of course lose weight.  But I got so much more out of the process – it’s actually more important to heal yourself from the inside and the outside will take care of itself – if you’re willing to put in the work.

I had many challenges to overcome; fear, belief that I could do it, believe that I deserved success and happiness, dealing with pain and emotions that had been numbed for so long.  It was really good to have someone totally on my side routing me on and always knowing what to say in difficult situations.  Andrea challenged me to push beyond my limitations and to blossom into the happy person that I am today.  My life and career is so much more fulfilling and others are commenting on my confidence, positive attitude and energy to get things done.  I wake up in the morning eager to face the world and excited to see what people I will meet and where my next adventure will take me!

I am not saying that the journey has been easy - but everything in my life that has been truly worth doing has always initially scared me to death.  Having Andrea in your corner just helps you keep things in perspective and keeps moving you forward, one step at a time.

I had tried working out and getting in shape before but nothing ever stuck for me. I’d easily get off track and would have a hard time getting back to it. Absolute Wellness worked with me to help me find my passions and helped me set goals that were right for me. The guidance in the nutrition and coaching sessions helped me look at all aspects of my life, not just exercise. I needed to look inside before I saw the results I wanted on the outside.

Absolute Wellness takes a customized approach that makes all the difference. Your program is designed completely around you and your needs. They really take the time to get to know you so you get the support you need along the way.    

Sticking with daily exercise and proper nutrition has become a habit that I plan to stick with. I still lose focus now and then, but Absolute Wellness has given me to tools to get myself back on track quickly and with fewer bumps along the way.

I just finished my first triathlon and have already registered for the next one!
