“I struggled with Lipedema, stymied in my efforts to find medical professionals who know about this chronic illness. Andrea really helped me with her knowledge about Lipedema and weekly visits in my home for several months after surgery, and then again after I had Lipedema reduction surgery in the US - I am now walking without a walker or walking pole!”

“What Andrea delivered far exceeded our expectations. I could itemize all the ways Andrea made my Mom’s life better, but what’s most important is HOW she did it. Mom had fairly severe vascular dementia, but worked hard to hide it. Andrea met her where she was at, and quickly established a bond of trust and respect. In addition, the family knew we could rely on Andrea to give us the heads up on any issues re care, health, or strategies for making things better and easier for Mom. I will be forever grateful that our paths crossed.”

“Andrea has been working with our father for the past year. He is 91 years old and living with Vascular Dementia. When Andrea first joined us, our father was in Independent Living. Since then, he has transitioned into private long-term care, and Andrea has supported him - and us - every step of the way. She has truly been a godsend. Andrea’s presence has allowed us to focus on quality time with our father, knowing he’s in capable and compassionate hands. She has played a vital role in helping him adjust to changes in his cognitive abilities and encourages him to stay mobile and engaged.”
