ABOUT AWAKE AND THRIVING

Our mission at Awake and Thriving, we’re committed to changing women’s lives - all over the world. Understanding the stigma of approaching a health care professional just to be told to ‘just live with it’. 

We aspire to drive change; through bridging the gap in-between western and alternative medicine, with education, programs and resources through industry experts to give you the power and knowledge to make informed decisions about your Health & Wellness. 

Keeping women’s well-being at the forefront of our ethos, we’re empowering them on their journey through our online resources, program and podcasts. 

MEET ANDRIA, AFDN-P

As a mom of 3, the oldest a 20 something and the youngest still under one years old, my experience runs the gamut. I’m also a wife, ex-military service member and a lifelong health and wellness enthusiast.

Through hard work, I built a successful healthcare career working as a Neurosurgery coordinator, Organ Donation Coordinator and Neuro Health Educator for over 15 years. You would've thought I’d be thrilled at the pinnacle of my career. Sadly, that wasn’t the case.

Looking around, I was far from that happy space.

My healthcare career enabled me to help others live fuller lives and live pain-free again.
 
After working in western medicine for so long, I was able to see how, ironically, our current healthcare system can be damaging to even my own colleagues.

Being expected to do 24hr shifts routinely and barely having enough time to eat lunch was EXHAUSTING to say the least.
 
Having the opportunity to see unhealthy organs day after day, changed my perspective on what healthy/wellness really looks like…

After some personal health issues and struggles, my passion for health and wellness became my entire FOCUS and DRIVE!
 
All that time I felt like I was on the wrong side of the bridge, I wanted to be on the opposite side helping people optimize their health before disease strikes at the end of life.
 
After completing my Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Certification I’m now able to combine my years of experience in Western medicine with my current education in Functional Nutrition and have a stronger impact on other people’s lives. Empower them so that they can reclaim the health and the quality of life, they deserve!
 
 
My mission is clear:

PRIORITIZE PEOPLE'S HEALTH BEFORE DISEASE STRIKES

This is your life, your path, your health. You are in control of your progression. Step out onto the path of discovery with me.
