Testimonials

Heather, Agribusiness Consultant, NZ


I felt lost and unhappy with the way I treated myself and the important people in my life.

I always come away from sessions with Andrea feeling bubbly, proud of myself, and having giggled a good portion of the hour.  I’m now better able to feel my emotions and not overreact in triggering situations. BGL honestly changed my life and I feel like I now have a way forward.


The full story:

I felt totally lost and unhappy. I was not happy with the way I treated the important people in my life, and retrospectively how I was treating myself. I felt I was missing out on life and in a constant cycle of feeling good and feeling crap. I did not have a lot of ideas about what I wanted to achieve with my life.

Andrea has a very down to earth and humorous way of explaining concepts so that you understand. I like knowing why things work or happen as they do so I loved Andrea’s clear and often amusing explanations of things. For instance, knowing that the negativity bias is an evolutionary state that was designed to keep us safe, rather than that my mind is simply an eternal pessimist! I enjoyed Andrea’s down-to-earth way of putting things across and it all made great sense. I learned so much about myself and found the techniques in the program really, really valuable.

I now have a better idea of the games my mind tries to play and am slowly getting better able to feel my emotions and choose not to react in situations I might (who am I kidding with the might!) – would have previously overreacted.

Andrea makes you want to be a part of this thing that is mindfulness!

I’m so grateful to have experienced BGL with Andrea, she’s such a beautiful person. It really was a game changer for me. Andrea’s way of communicating is so authentic and she made the whole experience fun – Imagine being able to address your shit while giggling for a good portion of the hour – I didn’t think that would be possible!

I kind of quite like me now. Thank you Andrea for this amazing gift you have given me! BGL 1:1 honestly changed my life and I feel like I now have a way forward
