Join Me in the Small Moments

Each week, I share the small moments that make life extraordinary — observations born from curiosity, humor, and a love of the human experience.

This is where I share most freely, and I’d love for you to join me.

Guest speaker at:

Andy’s US Book Tour (The Last Letter)

ESQUIRE Magazine Feature

Hi I'm Andy.

I like to keep things informal. My life's work is helping people. just like you, to heal and transform through the power of radical self love.

yOU ARE NOT ALONE.

When I was eighteen, my mother was hit

and killed by a drunk driver.

My life's journey has been

learning to embrace the devastation of that pain.

Now I use my healing to support others who have gone through trauma

or who are just struggling with life in general.

I am a friend and companion who helps you listen to and trust yourself.

I use love and laughter to face and process deep pain.

I am a wounded healer, just like anyone who has overcome

adversity to find compassion.

1970

I was born at the start of the 70’s with bell bottoms and the start of Star Wars.

1980

My dad was emotionally troubled and I suffered greatly as a child. My parents divorced when I was 10. My mom was my rock.

1989

My freshman year at college my mom was killed by a drunk driver. 2 years later I left America to escape that pain and travel the world.

1995

I gained success in business, but was empty inside and eventually decided to sell everything I own and start life over again.

2005

I lived like a monk for the next 10 years, finding a teacher to guide me back to myself.

2015

After my teacher’s death, I reenter the business world, without compromising my authenticity or my deep sense of knowing.

2016

I developed into a life, death and everything in-between coach, who wrote books and directed a training center in Amsterdam.

2018

My first book 'The Last Letter' was published. I embarked on a 3-month tour in the U.S., sitting with 60 groups across 25 states, inviting people to write last letters to loved ones.

2020

What began with The Wounded Healer, a book I swore I’d never write, turned into a deeper journey. Four books and a fifth on the way, I’ve come to accept that writing is no longer a detour but part of who I am.

One-on-one Mentoring

AI-Andy

I work with a select group of 6-8 people at a time, offering deeply personalized mentoring. My work spans a wide spectrum — supporting family offices, CEOs, artists, musicians, and leaders across industries.

Some might call it life coaching; I think of it as a partnership that meets people at the intersection of personal and professional transformation.

I’ve chosen two homes for my in-person mentoring: the historic Amsterdam’s Welvaren building in the heart of Amsterdam, and my olive farm in the Andalusian mountains.

Both offer unique spaces for reflection, each with its own rhythm and perspective.

Where my in-person work is intentionally limited, AI Andy is open to everyone. I feel incredibly fortunate to share my work more widely than ever before — first through my books, and now through technology.

After hours of programming, testing, and refining, I’ve created an AI version of myself that can guide you through live mini-sessions, free of charge. These sessions are built around carefully developed prompts, proven to bring real value to those who use them.

While it’s not the same as being together in person, AI Andy allows anyone, anywhere, to access the essence of my approach — whenever they need it.
