About us

Andrea is the Founder and Holistic Wellness Practitioner 

Supporting Ostomates, Palliative Care and End-of-Life Journeys

 

Who I Support
• Ostomates and their families navigating life with a stoma
• Palliative care patients and their caregivers
• End-of-life individuals and their loved ones facing grief/anticipatory loss
• Carers seeking self-care tools while supporting others

 

What Sets Me Apart

I offer bespoke sessions integrating multiple modalities for your unique needs. No one-size-fits-all approaches – just personalised, judgment-free care informed by lived experience. As founder of Derby Stoma Buddies, I’m deeply committed to community advocacy and support.

 

I use an Integrated Therapeutic Approach

by combining modern modularities and ancient wisdom using:

Clinical Hypnotherapy 

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT Tapping) 

Reiki 

Soul Midwifery and Shamanic Practice 

Naturopathy 

 

Beyond Therapy Sessions:

  • Writing: Share insights on stoma care, palliative care, inclusivity and advocacy via Substack.

  • Speaking: Deliver talks to community groups on stoma life, lessons learned and advocacy.

  • Community: Lead Derby Stoma Buddies, providing vital peer support for ostomates.

 

 

I am accredited by the IPHM, fully insured and a member of the Federation of Small Businesses
