Hi, I'm Andrea Suzanna-I'm so pleased you've found me
About me
Hi, I am Andrea Suzanna, a former educator retrained in my early 50s as a Holistic Intuitive Life Coach & Reiki Master.
I am originally from the UK but now call a mountain village in Southern Spain my home.
The journey to this beautiful corner of the world has been anything but straightforward—it’s taken me over 15 years & been filled with many twists & turns.
My Journey: From Self-Criticism to Self-Kindness
I haven’t always been kind to myself. In the years leading up to leaving a toxic relationship—which I finally did at 40—I was my own worst critic. Self-doubt ruled my decisions, & I ignored my inner voice as it screamed for change. I felt stuck, uncertain & completely disconnected from my true path.
But something shifted.
A short holiday in the mountains gave me a glimpse of what I was missing: the mental & emotional space to reconnect with myself. For my 41st birthday, I decided to take a bold step—a year-long sabbatical from work to teach in South Korea. That year became the turning point, marking the beginning of my journey back to me.
Self-kindness was the magic ingredient.
I discovered that when we practice self-kindness & allow ourselves mindful moments to pause, breathe, & reconnect, it not only influences our decisions but also unveils a path that is clearer, authentic & uniquely ours.
Over the past decade & a half I’ve:
✨ Completed an MA.
✨ Left my teaching career in the UK.
✨ Taught in Abu Dhabi for five years.
✨ Met my American husband (a fellow teacher).
✨ Lived in Sri Lanka & traveled in Asia
✨ Moved to Spain, where I’ve lived for six years &:
- Retrained as a Life Coach & Reiki Master.
- Left teaching to found my own business mywomankind.
Now, my mission is clear: to empower women like you to transform self-criticism into self-kindness, so you can navigate your own crossroads with clarity & confidence—aligned with your deepest dreams & desires.
My background in adult education deeply enriches my coaching approach.
As a former Community College lecturer (FE), I witnessed firsthand that mindset, not ability, was the main barrier holding my mature students back from reaching their potential. This powerful realization inspired the creation of mywomankind.
Now, I have left teaching to fully dedicate myself to empowering women 40+ to rewrite their narratives, embrace change & step into the lives they truly desire.
Here’s a snippet from a short but sweet chat with Conversational Content Creator Mags Thomson on her podcast Conversations That Count (@houseofhives), where we discuss how it’s never too late to change the narrative & step into your power. 🌸
