A Lifestyle Coach Who Has Lived the Work

Andrea Abella Marie is a lifestyle coach and wellness coach who helps people turn health goals into sustainable daily habits across sleep, nutrition, movement, and stress, using nervous system regulation tools like breathwork, guided meditation, and somatic release.

Her path here has been a long one, and every step shows up in her coaching. It started with a B.S. in Exercise Physiology at UMass Lowell, then a Master of Public Health with a focus on nutrition. She went on to serve eight years in the U.S. Navy, earning the rank of Petty Officer First Class. As a Navy career counselor, she spent her days helping people find their next direction, and that thread has run through everything since: personal training, behavioral support, trauma-informed peer support, and then coaching and energy healing.

Her work is also rooted in personal experience. Andrea knows what it feels like to look strong on the outside while feeling disconnected and guarded inside. She understands that positivity can feel fake when you're carrying real pain, and that “just push through” stops working when your nervous system is overwhelmed.

Her own healing, after one deployment that took her to Kuwait and Iraq and the long rebuild that followed, taught her that habits hold when the body feels safe enough to keep them. That is why nervous system regulation is her method, and why every plan she builds starts there.

Today Andrea offers individualized lifestyle and wellness coaching, virtual and in person, and brings corporate wellness lunch & learns and wellness fair sessions to teams. She is also part of the Holistic & Hormonal care team with Dr. Whitney Elsesser, DNP, APRN, where she provides non-clinical lifestyle coaching for patients.
