MEET ANDREA
I coach the business and the woman running it.
Most coaches only do one.
You and your business — coached together, always.
I work with established women business owners who have built something — and are ready to lead it differently. Maybe every decision still runs through you. Or maybe you have the team, but you're navigating the biggest calls of your business life completely alone. Whatever brought you here — something in you said yes to something bigger. That's where I work.

WHO I WORK WITH
Two women. One thing in common.
The women I work with come from different industries, different stages, different situations. But they almost always show up in one of two ways.
THE WOMAN WHO IS THE BOTTLENECK
Every decision, every crisis, every facet of the business still runs through her.
She's exhausted from being the answer to everything and she knows something has to change.
THE WOMAN AT THE TOP ALONE
She has the team. Things are running. But she's making high-stakes decisions in isolation.
Not sure what the right next move is, with no one at her level to think it through with.
What both have in common: They've been so focused on the business — nobody has been focused on them. Their thinking, their beliefs, their vision of who they're becoming. That's the gap I fill.
I coach you and your business together — simultaneously, always — because you can't separate the two. When you grow, your business grows. That's not a side effect. That's the point.
WHAT I ACTUALLY DO
This is coaching. Not consulting. Not counseling.
Most people use these words interchangeably. They're not the same thing — and the difference matters.
CONSULTING
They have the answer. You implement it.
A consultant brings expertise to a problem and tells you what to do. The knowledge lives with them. You get a recommendation and then you're on your own to execute it.
COUNSELING
They help you process the past.
Counseling looks backward — understanding where patterns came from, healing what's been hurt. Important work. But it's not the work of building a business and becoming the leader you're capable of being.
COACHING
You have the answer. I help you find it and act on it.
Coaching moves forward. I don't tell you what to do — I help you think more clearly, decide more confidently, and act more deliberately. The insight belongs to you. So does the result.
I show up asking about you — how you're thinking, what you believe about yourself, what's getting in your own way, and who future you is already becoming. The business is always in the room. So are you. Fully. That's not a small difference. It's the whole difference.
EVERY CHAPTER LED ME HERE
I didn't start out as a coach.
I grew up outside Boston, a lifelong Red Sox fan, and headed north to Dartmouth in New Hampshire. During college, I spent a semester abroad in Siena — and yes, being Italian made that matter.
After graduation, I followed my husband to New York while he was in medical school and landed at a big-box advertising agency in Manhattan. It was my first real exposure to high expectations, fast decisions, and environments where choices had consequences.
Residency took us to Houston, where I earned my master's degree and learned how to build a life while everything else was still in motion. Eventually, we landed in Indiana — where I worked in a corporate role recruiting, hiring, and training new business owners, and where we raised two kids who are now young adults.
For ten years, I coached entrepreneurial women inside a corporate structure that stifled everything I believed in.
I helped them build their businesses while delivering someone else's "no." I was doing work I loved inside a box that was too small and I couldn't figure out why nothing felt right.
My own coach suggested I leave and start my own practice. I scoffed. It sounded exhausting. I gave myself 12 weeks to try it. It took eight. I paid off my startup credit card before the sixth month.
Five years later, a woman stopped me at Saks to tell me her friend raved about working with me. A client stopped me at the airport and said she felt like she was meeting her own personal celebrity.
I tell you this not to impress you but because I know exactly what it feels like to be the one carrying everything, doing all the right things, and still wondering why it doesn't feel right. I've been in the box. I know how it works from the inside. That's where I work with you.
