Recently, Andrea addressed our staff consisting of 22 dedicated women from a variety of diverse cultures working to ensure our community families remain healthy. Our non-profit organization Onward Willow Better Beginnings, Better Futures provides community-based prevention programs to support vulnerable children and their families.

She quickly established a comfortable rapport with the attendees, allowing them to express feelings in a safe and productive environment. Andrea was welcoming and connected with and was openly inclusive to all of the staff and their individual needs. She demonstrated empathy towards everyday problems that created stress in people’s lives and worked with them towards viable solutions I highly recommend Andrea and would be pleased to provide further information if required.

  • Andrea was invited as a guest speaker to our Solutions Weight Management Program for Everyday Living to facilitate a session entitled “Dumping the excess baggage”. In meeting a group of 20 participants for the first time, Andrea’s expertise and experience enabled her to establish rapport from the outset and tune into the underlying emotional issues facing the group during their intense period of lifestyle behaviour change. Her approach enlightened the audience and helped to increase their awareness of the thought processes involved in the challenges of making healthier eating and exercise habits the difficult ones to break. If you are looking for a facilitator with a high standard of professionalism, integrity, and adaptability, I would highly recommend Andrea Groenewald.

  • I am writing this letter as a letter of endorsement for Andrea Groenewald. Andrea worked at the Counselling Services Department of the University of Guelph for five years as a Counsellor/Therapist. During that time Andrea worked individually and in groups with students who were experiencing emotional/personal issues that affected their academics and functioning. In this capacity, Andrea was extremely competent and skilled. She possesses the rare ability of combining intuition and knowledge in her work that greatly enhances the therapeutic relationship. In addition to her individual work with students, Andrea was quite involved in delivering workshops and seminars to both students and staff on many issues related to human development. Specifically, these sessions focused on Communications Skills, Stress Management, Conflict Resolution and Work Life Balance. The feedback we received on her presentations was consistently excellent. Participants used words like “dynamic, stimulating and interesting” to describe their experiences after attending one of Andrea’s presentations. She is able to communicate in a relaxed but professional manner that allows participants to foster and deepen their own personal development. I highly endorse Andrea as a Human Relations Consultant.
