Andrea is a natural health guru who follows natural hygiene practices and detox principles to get her clients looking and feeling they're very best! Although Andrea now resides in San Diego California, she was born and raised in the small town of Dayton Ohio! The youngest of three girls, Andrea's mother, and father were high school sweethearts who married after school ended. Andre's father became an Ohio state trooper and coached baseball where he was said to be a pro! Eventually, he started his own trucking company. Unfortunately, Andrea's father lost his life in an auto accident at age 36. Andrea was ten years old at the time. Andrea’s mother worked for a boutique and moonlighted secretary positions to make ends meet. She took pride in raising three beautiful strong girls.
Becoming independent at the age of 17, to pursue her dreams, Andrea left home. Her career began as a survival mechanism. Andrea began entering into bikini contests at the age of 20, and by the age of 22 she was spotted at the Atlanta, GA airport by a former National Geographic photographer who was shooting for Playboy and other glamour magazines. After shooting with that photographer one time, Andrea then began her career as a pin-up and glamour model.
Andrea used a pseudo-name as she began modeling to ward off any potential "Unwanted" followers. Andrea’s first glamour photo shoot landed her on the cover of not one, but 5 magazines, including a notoriously popular “Australian" Black and White edition magazine along with “Playboy’s Book of Lingerie” and “Playboy’s Voluptuous Vixens”. Andrea has been in various magazine photo spreads, among a variety of powerful and well-known glamour magazines.

Andrea grew deeply passionate about the health and fitness industry. Her modeling career demanding an EXTREMELY conscientious health and body fitness awareness. Andrea became captivated by the fitness and health world, and thus began her career as a fitness model, at the age of 24, after spotting a fitness magazine in the check-out aisle of her local grocery store. She looked up at her boyfriend at the time and said the following words "I'm going to be on the cover of this magazine!" Just two months later, she was! With a strong passion for working out and the fitness lifestyle, Andrea quickly realized that she wanted to begin creating a dynamic brand behind herself. Dropping her fake name, Andrea moved forward into the fitness model industry, where she became the "eye candy" to get the men to purchase the magazines. Soon after, magazine covers followed! Andrea has the largest spread for a female non-competitor in Pump Fitness “Muscular Development Magazine” to date. She has shot for spreads and covers in over 20 fitness magazines to date. During this same time, Andrea’s health began to fail, due to her high protein diet, and ongoing battle with bulimia for almost two years, which had now, began to take its toll. The sudden change in her health forced Andrea to look at her nutritional lifestyle and health once again, wherein she discovered the life-changing powers of juicing, fasting, detoxification, and raw living foods! Andrea began to soak up information about this lifestyle and immediately made the change. Her new motto and one of her most famous quotes being "Live food, live body, Dead food dead body"!
During that same year, Andrea decided it was time to follow her newfound interest in raw living foods, Andrea flew herself out to New York, to meet the author of a popular raw foods book, only to learn that the author of the book was not responsible for the advice that had been given, but rather, that it was the author's colon~hydro therapist who had the "real" knowledge!
