I had my first session over the phone with Andrea a few weeks ago. I had been experiencing on-and-off abdominal tightness and digestive discomfort 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 so much more at ease afterward, and by the next day, everything felt wonderfully settled. I highly recommend working with her. It’s nice to be able to still receive such grounding support during these stressful times.

Remote session for abdominal tightness and digestive discomfort
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 a recent period, I woke up one morning with severe, acute tightness in my hip and inner thigh. I was feeling so uncomfortable that I couldn’t even bend over. Andrea worked with me over the phone and I could feel things shifting and releasing throughout my body as she worked. That intense tightness shrank down to a pinpoint. Afterward, I was amazed and relieved to find that I could actually bend over with ease, and by the next day I was even able to get back to exercising! Working with her remotely is remarkable

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 restoring neck comfort and mobility
Andrea is a very smart, intuitive, and caring practitioner. I first saw her when I was experiencing severe discomfort and stiffness in my knee. I remember saying; ‘Oh that feels too tight to bend’ –she would say okay and just try another gentle approach. After a few sessions, the tightness completely cleared up. I really don’t know how she does it, but it works! Now I’m having remote sessions with her on the phone, and she actually is able to release that deep physical tension! I highly recommend working with her for any physical discomfort that is bothering you.

Remote sessions for knee tension and mobility
Andrea has an amazing gift for sensing when your body is out of balance and holding tension. As a client of hers, I have always been amazed at how she is able to tune into where the body needs support the most. On more than one occasion she has helped me find ease and recovery from various physical setbacks. Sadly, having moved away from the Bay area, I no longer have access to her in-person sessions. Yet after she heard about the several weeks I had been dealing with persistent chest discomfort and fatigue, she offered 3 long-distance sessions for me. After each session I noticed a wonderful sense of relief in my chest, more natural breathing comfort, and the ability to sleep much more soundly. Andrea is a gifted, experienced, and skilled practitioner who I trust wholeheartedly and highly recommend!

Distance support during a prolonged challenge
I have searched for a practitioner who truly understands body mechanics– someone who can work with deep tissue patterns and leave me walking away feeling restored rather than sore. There are practitioners who just rub muscles and then there are those who can actually make a real difference. If you are able to get an appointment with Andrea, then consider yourself one step closer to moving with comfort and ease. I have played sports all my life and have used bodywork as ongoing maintenance to stay active. Whether you are looking for preventative self-care, relief from held tension, or someone who simply understands the body, you have found the right person. She listens carefully and works to help balance what is needed so you can walk out feeling so much better. I have been working with Andrea for over three years. Initially I walked in with so much lower back and torso restriction that I could barely get dressed. I had tried various other approaches focused on my lower back and hip without much change. As my last hope, I found Andrea. She was able to tune into where the tension was actually originating–a deep restriction around my rib cage! Through gentle, precise work, she helped release that held tension, and ever since, I have been a true believer. I was able to move freely and get dressed the next day, and the rest is history. Hope this helps any one trying to find a practitioner who truly gets it!

Restoring back comfort and movement
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 frequent tournament travel. I used to experience persistent lower back fatigue and tightness from the heavy workload. Additionally, I often deal with cold hands and feet due to poor circulation. I go to Andrea for bodywork and Gyrotonic movement sessions every week or two. After her manual sessions, I notice much better circulation in my hands and feet, and the tightness in my lower back relaxes. After a few weeks of Gyrotonic sessions, my posture improved greatly and I gained deep core strength that helped refine how I move. Learning to rely on my core engagement rather than straining my lower back has helped me stay comfortable through heavy training cycles. Andrea has helped me so much. She is very kind, gentle and patient when teaching new exercises, making it easy to relax and learn!

Athletic conditioning and movement ease
I’m a hair stylist and spend hours on my feet every day. I was dealing with severe lower back and radiating hip tightness that made standing at work sheer torture. After six months of trying various other options with no relief, I was at the end of my rope. After just five sessions with Andrea, that deep discomfort was completely gone! Thank you so much!

Relief from severe lower back and nerve-related tension
I’m a regular client at Motion Wave. Andrea does bodywork and Gyrokinesis training with me monthly. She’s been remarkably helpful with my sense of balance, symmetry and movement ease. Following a severe bout of seasonal illness last winter, I was left feeling off-balance, foggy, and unsteady on my feet. Her sessions were instrumental in helping me regain my sense of grounding, physical stability, and overall vitality. Thanks to her care, I felt steady and ready to engage in all my daily activities again–I even started a new job after seven years at home! She has a wonderful gift for supporting people where traditional care leaves off. Go see her now!

Restoring Balance, Alignment and Daily Energy
When I was first introduced to Andrea, I had no real understanding of what the true benefits of CranioSacral Therapy would entail. I was going through a very low point in my life, feeling deeply overwhelmed, exhausted and holding so much emotional stress. I knew I needed a supportive, gentle modality to help me find my footing again. With a mix of openness and curiosity, I soon discovered that this form of bodywork aided not just in physical relaxation, but helped me gently process held tension and emotional stress stored in my body. 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 provides such a nurturing, supportive and safe space for deep relaxation and self-discovery with gentle touch. The way she supports those in need has inspired me on my own journey. For that, I am so thankful for her guidance and care.

Restoring calm and emotional ease
I’m in my 90’s and had been feeling unsteady after a few falls. Andrea helped me regain my movement confidence, improve my posture and stability, and feel so much more grounded in myself. She’s a natural teacher.

Stability and confidence in movement
Wham! Bam! Splat. Down I went, leaving my lower back deeply jarred and uncomfortable. Andrea to the rescue! Within 4 sessions she helped ease the intense tightness around my sacrum, enabling me to move around with so much more ease and dramatically softening that constant discomfort. With such a gentle touch, you are in awe of her CranioSacral technique’s method and effectiveness. I am eternally grateful to Andrea for helping my body find balance again! She is THE BEST! If you are dealing with deep physical tension, you need to see Andrea Lee for wonderful results.

Finding grounding and comfort after a fall
Gyrokinesis is like patting your head and rubbing your tummy–when you do it right, you really feel it! Andrea has a wonderful 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
engaging my body. If I don’t seem to understand, she breaks the movement
down so every part does what it should. Andrea has an intuitive sense that allows her to meet me right at my optimal edge. Being a receptionist I sit a lot, and I find Gyrokinesis incredibly helpful for my back feeling fluid and supported. Andrea has given me simple desk exercises I can do throughout the day. I have been fairly fit most of my life but I am amazed at the increased core strength I have developed since I started working with her.

Core strength training
Andrea is an excellent practitioner–a superb listener who is very patient and professional. She incorporated Trigger Point Release bodywork with me, which I had never experienced before. Her gentle, yet firm, technique has been highly effective. For 6 years, I dealt with severe shoulder tightness and restricted movement. After just two sessions with Andrea, I experienced a noticeable increase in my shoulder and arm mobility, a significant release of that deep discomfort, an open feeling through my shoulder, and much better upper body posture. I have continued our very productive sessions together with wonderful results!

Restoring shoulder range and mobility
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 modalities. From Gyrotonic movement, to bodywork, to CranioSacral 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 sessions, 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 access to some of the world’s finest practitioners, and she fits squarely among the very best of them. With a heart that earnestly and humbly seeks to support others, combined with a practical and dynamic execution, Andrea offers an experience that 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.
