Walk + Talk · Calgary or by phone

When separation, conflict and co-parenting collide, it’s hard to know what to do next.

Maybe every message feels loaded.

You’re second-guessing what to say—or whether to respond at all.

You’re trying to make a decision while managing conflict, kids, an ex, lawyers, logistics and approximately 47 competing thoughts in your head.

Sometimes you need someone who understands this world to walk through it with you.

One hour. One walk. One conversation.

You bring the situation that has you stuck. We walk while we sort through what’s actually happening, what matters, what doesn’t—and what you want to do next.

There’s a reason we walk. Movement can help reduce stress and support clearer thinking, making it easier to process a difficult conversation and remember what you talked about. And frankly, some things are just easier to figure out side-by-side than sitting across from someone in an office.

No package. No discovery call. No commitment to six more sessions.

Just an hour to get out of your own head and see things differently.

When you’re too close to your own life to see it clearly, borrow my perspective.

Walk with Andrea

In person · Calgary

Sixty minutes outside, starting at the North Glenmore Park Community Centre, 2231 Longridge Drive SW. Paved city paths, your pace, most weather.

Walk by phone

Wherever you are

You walk where you are, I walk where I am. The same hour, the same conversation, anywhere in the world.

Optional follow-up letter

A personal letter after we talk: what I noticed, the patterns that surfaced and the questions worth keeping.

I had no idea what to expect. A friend just told me I should book a walk with Andrea. And am I ever glad I did. It's almost as if she'd known me for years but she'd just met me. I left our first walk with insights I didn't know were possible.

Thank you doesn't seem like enough. Great questions. Questions I'd never been asked or considered. Wow.

About Andrea

High conflict is what I know.

I’ve spent more than 25 years in the middle of difficult relationships and difficult conversations.

Separation. Divorce. Co-parenting. Partners. Parents. Siblings. Families. Workplaces.

Different relationships. Often the same patterns.

I listen closely. I notice what other people miss. And I ask questions that help you see the situation differently.

I’m not going to diagnose the other person. I’m not going to hand you a script or tell you what to do.

But I will help you sort through the noise.
