At the young age of 4 years old, Andrea began attended a church in Huntington Beach, The Church of Religious Science. Despite growing up from very humble beginnings, this young girl was beaming with light since anyone can remember. “I recall all the comments I would get about how gifted my daughter was spiritually. Many of my adult friends asked to spend time us together, or many times just her. They completely adored her energy” was what Andrea’s father had to say about her as a child. “I heard all the time about how powerful she was and how she would help many people. I never really understood it until now.” Andrea and her dad, attended faithfully this church every Sunday. It was during this time that she learned how to meditate and really focus her healing powers. The church taught that all people are connected and that we are all the loved Children of God. It was during these formative years that Andrea’s life work have been based. “It was really these early teachings that created the basis for my entire spiritual work years later. I found myself turning back time and time again to these basic principles.” She added that her “firm belief is that in order to achieve inner peace, we must heal ourselves, starting with the healing of our mind”, when asked about her mission and goal with www.GuidingLotus.com, “Suffering does not happen as a result of external circumstances, but from our thinking about those external circumstances. I want to share this truth and do my part to alleviate suffering in the world, or at least in one individual. If I can do that, it would all be worth it.”
