We've spent decades learning how to perform. 

In a world where technology can do more than ever,

perhaps it's time to rediscover what makes us human.

​​

I'm Andrea, a former real estate and finance executive from New York who spent years working in high intensity environments with the goal of getting to the top.  When I finally got there, I initially felt like I'd made it, and the awards and accolades followed. From the outside, everything looked pretty good, but four years in, I was surprised by how I felt internally. I felt increasingly disconnected from the people around me and from the career I had spent years building.  My sacrifices showed up most in my physical health.

​

In my mid-20s, I dealt with severe B12 deficiency and low bone density. Then in my 30s, I watched my A1c start creeping up despite an active lifestyle, a carefully moderated diet, and regular exercise.  Everyone told me I looked healthy, and I pushed through, but I didn't feel good. Increasingly, the medical data was giving me signals that my health was taking a toll.  

 

Like a lot of high-achieving women, I had spent years being rewarded for being logical, rational, and composed.

Senior executives relied on me for the facts, to solve the problems, and most importantly, to stay calm.  I was rewarded for keeping my emotions out of the decision and for just getting things done.  This operating pattern served me incredibly well.

​​

I spent 20 years learning how to read a room.

Then I realized I couldn't read my own body.

​​

For the past several years, I started deliberately working on the other side of myself. I went deep into women’s health and understanding the physical changes that happen to women during perimenopause.  This work also led me to study emotional health: somatic theory, nervous-system work, and the practices that help us reconnect with what we intuitively feel.

​

This is the work behind Peribloom: a structured curriculum for high-achieving women in their 40s and 50s that combines theory, guided introspection, and practical somatic-based exercises, to strengthen areas that may have taken a back seat during decades of achievement.

 

This isn’t about throwing away the logical, driven, capable parts of ourselves -- it’s about expanding our range, with more awareness of your body and more access to creativity and intuition. Peribloom helps you define your values and design how you want the next stage of your life to look like.​

Your symptoms have a story.  I'll help you find the why.
