Hi there! I’m Andrea.
As a neurodiverse person myself, I understand what it’s like to feel isolated, anxious, overwhelmed, and disconnected from my body, my needs, and the people I care about.
I also know how hard it is to find a practitioner who understands the unique challenges that you’re facing.
I was sure that something was wrong with me as I compared my lived experiences to others who seemed to be able to do things that I couldn’t imagine doing without feeling completely overwhelmed or drained. I felt like I must be constantly screwing up on every level and the longer I lived like that, the more ashamed and alone I felt…
It was in 2021 when I discovered that I might be neurodivergent (thanks TikTok!) and was officially diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 37.
Learning this about myself gave me a completely new lens to look at my lived experiences.
I began finding little pockets of support that helped me understand that there is actually something different about the way that I experience life. That I’m not just “lazy”, “looking for attention”, or “anxious”. I began researching how I could interpret and apply this new lens to my experience as a massage therapist (and anatomy and physiology nerd) and started compiling tools I actually helped me feel like I could start living my life instead of just barely surviving it.
Why am I telling you all of this?
Well, I know that there are many of you out there that are looking for the same kind of support. Something that can help get you out of survival mode, reduce your tension and stress, and provide the space for you to reconnect with yourself in meaningful ways so that you can get out of the cycles of burnout and start living life in a way that feels good to YOU!
I started Aligned Light Healing to offer a safe space where neurodivergent people, just like you, can find exactly that.
I’m a Licensed Massage Therapist and Energy Healer and am deeply passionate about supporting other neurodivergent people who are feeling the weight of navigating their own healing journey. I offer workshops and in person individual appointments helping you unwind from your tension and stress and empower you with accessible and effective practices and resources to support you as you learn how YOU experience life through your body and begin THRIVING.
I am so looking forward to walking beside you along this path.
Let’s get started!
Andrea
