Founder of Autoimmune Strong

Andrea is an autoimmune and chronic illness expert, having worked with thousands of people across the globe through her online exercise program Autoimmune Strong. Now, she is bringing her online expertise to the in-person clients at CLINIC. 

Andrea is a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) through the National Academy of Sports Medicine and she holds an additional certification as a Corrective Exercise Specialist. Her specialty is helping people who live with autoimmune conditions and chronic illness learn how to exercise safely and effectively, without triggering any symptom flare-ups or post- exertion malaise. Her specialty is helping her clients build strength, flexibility and mobility slowly over time, so they can increase their tolerance to exercise and physical activity. Her goal is to help people decrease pain and exhaustion while increasing their energy levels, so they can feel good in their bodies and enjoy living their lives.

Andrea also holds a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner Certification (FNTP) from the Nutritional Therapy Association (NTA). As a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Andrea’s goal is to help people feel better in their bodies through their food. Using Nutritional Therapy practices, Andrea’s goal is to help her clients improve their sleep, reduce their physical pain and inflammation, increase their energy levels, and help their bodies thrive. Andrea can also help clients achieve weight loss and muscle gain (if that is their goal).  

Andrea believes in bio-individuality, which means that each person's body is unique and each has their own needs. She works individually with clients to set goals, and creates a personalized program for each individual. Her goal is to help her clients achieve their goals and to support them all along the way. 

As a person living with multiple autoimmune conditions and other chronic illness herself, Andrea uses her own modalities, so she knows firsthand the powerful impact that the right kind of food and movement can have on transforming our lives.
