Work With Me

You don't have to know what you want to begin changing your life.

Sometimes the thing standing between you and meaningful change isn't your circumstances. It's the story you've come to believe about them.

The story about who you are, what you're capable of, what you deserve, how the world works, why things are the way they are and why they can't be different.

We develop these stories through our experiences, relationships and the roles we've learned to play. Over time, they become so familiar that we stop recognizing them as stories.

They become our reality.

And they influence our choices, often without our realizing it.

That's where my work begins.

I'm Andrea Maurer, a Personal Transformation Coach and the founder of Transformative Creativity.

I've spent decades studying people, recognizing behavioral patterns and exploring how our beliefs about ourselves shape the lives we create.

One of my greatest strengths is listening to people talk about their circumstances and recognizing the assumptions that may be limiting what they believe is possible.

I hear the stories, I notice the roles people are playing in them, I recognize the ways those roles may be protecting them from something they're afraid to confront, even as they're preventing them from making changes they want to make.

But my job isn't to tell you what your story means or what you should do about it.

It's to help you begin recognizing those things for yourself.

Because once you recognize that the way you've been seeing something isn't necessarily the only way to see it, you can begin considering choices you might not have seen before.

And that's where transformation becomes possible.

How I work

My approach is built around a simple conviction:

We are capable of far more than our existing understanding of ourselves allows us to imagine.

You don't have to arrive with a five-year plan, a clearly defined goal or even a good answer to the question, "What do I want?"

We can begin with what's happening in your life right now.

Maybe there's a situation you keep finding yourself in, a reaction you wish you could change, a decision you can't seem to make or a persistent sense that something about your life isn't quite right.

We'll explore what you're experiencing, the assumptions influencing your interpretation of it and the choices you may not have considered.

And then we'll look for something you can do differently.

Not necessarily something dramatic. Sometimes the most meaningful transformation begins with a single conversation, a different response or a choice you've never allowed yourself to make before.

We'll pay attention to what happens, what you learn and what new possibilities begin to emerge.

You don't have to figure out the destination before you take the first step.

Sometimes you discover what you want by doing things differently along the way.
