Her foundation in jazz, shaped by studies with legends like Conrad Herwig, Pete McGuinness, and Jim McNeely, informs her approach to sound healing with a focus on harmony, improvisation, and emotional expression. In 2024, Andrea founded Notes & Nirvana, a sound healing business to make music, meditation, and healing accessible to all—with a special emphasis on uplifting women and the LGBTQ+ community.

Andrea’s passion for sound healing was born from a profound life shift: the birth of her daughter, Robin. It was during this transformative time that Andrea experienced the emotional power of sound firsthand—a revelation that inspired her to help others reconnect with themselves through the language of vibration.

Andrea has led mindfulness workshops and sound baths at events including the NYSSMA Winter Conference, the Balanced Mind Curriculum Conference, the NYSCAME Superintendent Luncheon and the Metropolitan Youth Orchestra's One SINGular Sunday. In 2015, Andrea's children’s chorus was awarded the prestigious Give-A-Note Foundation Grant and featured in a Disney Channel campaign for NAfME’s Music In Our Schools Month. As a result of her successes, she has been invited to host professional development workshops, serve as a keynote speaker at various events, and share her expertise with educators and wellness professionals across the country.

Whether she’s leading a sound bath, teaching music, hosting a corporate retreat, or providing Corporate Sound Healing Services for organizations seeking wellness solutions in Long Island, Andrea brings joy, depth, and intention to everything she does—creating experiences that are as healing as they are musically rich.

Andrea lives in Oyster Bay with her partner Connie and two beautiful daughters. When she is not busy at work in her sound studio, Andrea enjoys outdoor activities such as paddle boarding as well any creative art forms such as writing, drawing, and acting out stuffed animals.
