I had my first session over the phone with Andrea a few weeks ago. I had been having on and off GI upset for the last two months. As soon as she started working with me, I immediately went into a deep state of relaxation. There were moments of quiet and stillness, during which I felt like I kept falling into short dream states, and then we would talk and interact and share impressions. I found myself thinking I was actually in her office, on her table and then I would remember that we were on the phone! My stomach felt much better after and the next day things really cleared up and I have felt much better since. I highly recommend working with her. It’s nice to be able to still receive treatment during these stressful times.

Remote session for GI upset
Of everyone who’s done energy work on me, Andrea is the best I’ve ever worked with. I used to see her when I lived in California but moved away to Washington State a few years ago. During this recent period while we’ve all been in lockdown because of the coronavirus, I woke up one morning having somehow pulled my groin. I was in a lot of pain and couldn’t even bend over. Andrea worked with me over the phone and I could feel things shifting in my body and nerves firing as she worked. The painful throbbing shrank down to a pinpoint. Afterwards, I was amazed and relieved to find that I could actually bend over without pain, and the next day I was even able to exercise!

Andrea thank you for the session yesterday! That was a wonderful gift. I felt lighter and clearer and more hopeful all evening and slept very well.

Remote session for tension and neck pain
Andrea is a very smart, intuitive, sweet healer. I first saw her when I couldn’t stand the pain in my knee. I remember saying; Oh that hurts too much to bend it–she would say okay and just try something else. After a few treatments the pain went away. I really don’t know what she does but it works! Now I’m having sessions with her on the phone, and she actually is able to reduce and then remove the pain! I highly recommend seeing her for anything physical that is bothering you.

Remote sessions for pain
Andrea has an amazing gift for sensing when your craniosacral system is out of balance and not functioning at its optimal ability. As a client of hers, I have always been amazed at how she is able to detect the source of what is creating the given health issue. On more than one occasion she has helped me heal from various running injuries and issues. Sadly, having moved away from the Bay area, I no loner have access to her therapy sessions. Yet after she heard about the 4 plus weeks I have been dealing with a lower respiratory infection, she did 3 long distance sessions on me. After each session I noticed improvement in both the tightness in my chest and the shortness of breath I had been experiencing, as well as the ability to sleep more soundly. Andrea is a gifted and experienced, skilled healer who I trust whole heartedly and highly recommend!

Remote session for respiratory infection
I have searched for a therapist who understands the musculoskeletal system, someone who can manipulate it and leave me able to walk away without feeling debilitated. There are therapists who just rub the muscles and then there are therapists who can actually make a difference. If you are able to get an appointment with Andrea, then consider yourself one step closer to being pain free. I have played sports all my life and have had preventative therapy all my life and it works. Whether you are looking for preventative therapy, pain relief, or someone who just simply understands the body and how it works, then you have found the right person. She will listen and go about her mission to correct what is needed so that you can walk out feeling better. I have been treated by Andrea for over three years and initially walked in with so much pain I could not even get dressed. I went to chiropractors and other therapists and all were aiming for the sciatic nerve. But nothing they did worked. As my last hope, I found Andrea and she found the issue, which was a rib that was out of place; go figure. She was able to get it back in place and ever since, I have been a believer. I was able to get dressed the next day and the rest is history. Hope this helps any one trying to find a therapist who gets it and who can fix it.

Mystery back pain
I am a competitive high school softball player with a very rigorous schedule and am on track to play softball in college. I practice 5 days per week and play 6–7 games each weekend, with tournaments at least twice a month. I have a recurring overuse injury in my lower back. Also, I have asthma, which makes the circulation in my hands and feet very poor. I go to Andrea for massage therapy and gyrotonic exercise appointments once every one or two weeks. After her massage therapy, I have better circulation in my hands and feet and the pain in my back subsides. After a few weeks of doing gyrotonics, my posture improved greatly and I gained core strength that helped correct how I move. My ability to rely on my core strength rather than my lower back helped decrease the frequency of my overuse injury. Andrea has helped me so much. She is very kind, gentle and patient when teaching me new exercises and it makes it easier to relax.

I’m a hair stylist and spend hours on my feet. I had sciatica and work was torture. After six months of weekly treatments from other specialists with no relief, I was at the end of my rope. After just five sessions with Andrea, the pain was gone! Thank you so much!

Sciatica
I’m a regular client at Motion Wave. Andrea does bodywork and Gyrokinesis training with me monthly. She’s been really helpful with my sense of balance, symmetry and movement. I am an asthmatic and caught the flu in January despite vaccinations. I had some kind of inner ear, brain, balance and vertigo issues afterwards. All her therapies put me back on my feet again with full activities and no more dizzy spells. I even started a new job after seven years at home. She has a gift to help people heal where the doctor lets off. Go see her now before you lose ground.

Vertigo and dizzy spells
When my chiropractor first referred me to Andrea for my worst concussion yet, I had no real understanding of the true benefits of what craniosacral therapy would entail. I had just been diagnosed with major depression, anxiety and PTSD, and I knew that I needed some other healing modality at a very low point in my life. With a mix of my ignorance and openness to receiving healing for my concussion, I soon discovered that this form of therapy actually aided in not just the physical healing, but delved deeper into the emotional trauma that I’ve repressed for so long. From the very beginning, Andrea’s wonderful energy was so welcoming that it put me at ease and made it possible for me to open up to her throughout our sessions. She has provided such a nurturing, supportive and safe space for healing to occur with her gentle and powerful touch. The way she helps and heal those in need has inspired me to work towards that in my own journey of self discovery. For that, I am thankful for her sharing with me and aiding in my continuous healing.

I’m in my 90’s and had fallen several times. Andrea helped me recover mobility, improve my walk and regain confidence in myself. She’s a natural teacher.

Balance and Walking
Wham! Bam! Splat. Down I went severely traumatizing my back. Andrea to the rescue! Within 4 sessions she cleared my sacrum enabling me to walk somewhat normally again and minimizing my constant pain. So gentle a touch, you are in awe of her craniosacral technique’s method and efficacy. I am eternally grateful to Andrea for “fixing” me! She is THE BEST! If you have any pain, you need to go to Andrea Lee for miraculous results.

Gyrokinesis is like patting your head and rubbing your tummy. When you are doing it right you feel it. Andrea has a way of explaining how each exercise should be felt inside the body. I never feel uncomfortable asking what I should be feeling or how an exercise should be
making my body feel. If I don’t seem to be understanding, she will try to break the exercise
down so each part of the exercise does what it should. Andrea has an intuitive sense that allows her to push me right to my optimal point. Being a receptionist I sit a lot and find Gyrokinesis very
helpful for my back. Andrea has given me simple exercises that I can do while sitting. I have
been fairly fit most of my life but am amazed at the increased core strength I have developed since I started working with Andrea.

Core strength training
Andrea is an excellent practitioner. A superb listener, she’s very patient and professional. She did Trigger Point Release therapy on me, which I had never received before. Her gentle, yet firm, technique has been highly effective. For 6 years, I had frozen shoulder syndrome, with excruciating pain. Surgery and medications provided no discernible improvement. After 2 sessions with Andrea, I experienced a 50% increase in shoulder and arm mobility, a dramatic decrease in pain, an open shoulder and better upper body posture. I have continued our very productive sessions together with great results and no negative side effects.

Having the privilege of knowing Andrea Lee is one of the greatest blessings in my life. Instead of applying a copy-and-paste, cookie cutter approach to her work, she shows vital intuition and melding of various therapies. From Gyrotonic, to massage therapy, to cranial sacral work, she has an exceptionally formidable array of tools at her disposal. She is always present, attentive to detail and giving all that she has for my sake. I’ve experienced remarkable practitioners of various fields, but never one as giving of herself and effective as Andrea. When I first met Andrea I wasn’t entirely cynical about the prospect of her therapy, but I did have a fair dose of skepticism about it. She has far exceeded any expectation. Her work’s quality is of the highest order. Living in Silicon Valley I have the privilege of access to some of the world’s finest practitioners, and she fits squarely among the very best of them. With not only a heart that earnestly and humbly seeks to heal, but a practical and dynamic execution, Andrea does what other practitioners simply cannot. Simply put, Andrea is the real deal. I tell those I care about to go see her, because I know that her work makes a difference in the lives of those she touches. Do yourself a favor, and do not pass her by. You will thank yourself later.
