About the Course

Featured in Dr. Rick Hanson’s "Top Anxiety Relief Courses of 2025" With our world moving at an unnaturally fast and plugged-in pace, anxiety disorders are at an all-time high. It takes commitment and practice to slow things down and calm our overstimulated nervous systems. This toolkit will help you do just that. Throughout this course, you will learn to use a variety of cognitive, psychological, body-based, and spiritual tools to help decrease anxiety. Weaving together her professional experience as a psychotherapist with her personal journey of healing from debilitating anxiety, depression, eating disorders and addictions, Andrea will equip you with practical techniques that you can use on a daily basis. If you are ready to decrease your levels of anxiety and increase your moments of peace, please join us for the journey.

Andrea’s course is absolutely fantastic. She shares so many very helpful and effective tools to deal with anxiety/being an anxious type of person. She leads the course with gentleness, wisdom and expertise. I have already recommended it to my anxious friends and can’t praise it highly enough. There will be tools for everyone. I was especially affected by Day 8, but I also appreciate so much all the different techniques she offers. I now have a comprehensive tool kit to deal with anxiety (and unhappiness/dissatisfaction), which I will practice. Thank you so, so much Andrea. I am deeply respectful and grateful to you.

Highest recommendations! Fantastic course! Andrea was really professional, well-prepared and highly organized (no rambling). She offers so many proven, practical, do-able techniques that there’s sure to be at least one thing that works for everyone and every situation. End result is a toolbox of approaches to ameliorate anxious thoughts and feelings. Best of all, Andrea has the loveliest, most soothing voice and she comes across as genuinely compassionate – just hearing her and the obvious empathy in her tone makes an immediate impact. I’m so appreciative of the time she put in creating and recording this course.

A really amazing course that offers a whole variety of tools to deal with anxiety. Thank you so much for creating this course. I've definitely been handling my anxiety a lot better since starting this course. The tools I found immediately useful were: coming into the present, breathing techniques and acupressure points. Once I start practicing these regularly, I hope to attempt and add more of the strategies taught in this course. Thank you, again, for creating such an amazing collection of strategies for dealing with anxiety.

I have redone the course because there is so much content to help the anxiety. Thank you for speaking from your heart and with such compassion in your delivery. The biggest revelation is that I am not alone, just a breed that feels anxiety.
