“There is no better listener than Andria! Sometimes the best guidance comes from someone who will just listen to you talk and talk and talk.  Andria never judged my “mess”.  I felt nothing but love and support from her while I was going through one of the hardest times in my life.  Andria didn’t just listen to me though, she somehow knew the right questions to ask to help me sort out my jumbled thoughts.  There are a few people I can confide in and she is my #!! I would not be the strong mama I am without her!!”

"It's easy for me to recommend Andria. I have known her for 19 years both professionally and as a friend. She is the person I go to with problems, stress, worries and joys.  She brings such a calm to each and every concern of mine. Andria knows how to see my story from every perspective. She has great way of giving me constructive advice without overwhelming or discouraging me. She does this mainly by pointing out the good, positive things and focusing on them. Not to say that she leaves out the negative or the things I can still work on though. She is able to carefully and sensitively give me suggestions without coming across as demeaning or belittling. It is a quality that I find very scarce in the world today. I appreciate her gentle and truly sincere advice to better me and to really focus on the things I do well. I will be forever grateful to have her as my confidant, mentor, colleague and friend and unequivocally recommend her to anyone who needs a non-judgmental, listening ear and sound advice."

"Watching Andria's girls grow up has been such inspiration to me.  It has shown me how I want to raise my own daughters.  Her daughters are becoming strong, independent, self-aware, and beautiful women.  Andria has raised daughters who value themselves and are not afraid to be who they are.  I have often struggled with self-doubt and low self-esteem and Andria helps me see my potential.  Andria seems to always remind me what is truly important.  Andria has a way with remembering what is going on and checks in to make sure things are going well.  Andria makes someone feel important, even when there are so many other people vying for her attention.  Andria is one of the kindest people I know!"

"A little over two years ago, my world changed in a blink of an eye, when my baby brother passed away unexpectedly. He was 27 years old and was one of my closest friends. Andria was living in North Carolina at that time and we instantly became friends (it's hard not to with her).  I can't put into words the strength, compassion and support that Andria showed me during this difficult time. She had also lost her brother many years before and could relate to what I was going through. As I look back at that time in my life, I see Andria as one of my biggest supporters (and she still is today). She listens with her whole heart and knows just what to say. She is truly a great friend, one you can always count on to be your cheerleader during both the great times and the difficult times in life."
