Growing up in Canada Andrea has always had a passion for health and keeping fit, particularly through her love of cooking and playing tennis. After relocating from Canada to the UK she decided to pursue this passion further and studied at ION, Institute of Optimum Nutrition, and graduated with a diploma in Nutritional Therapy in 2009.⁠  
⁠  
Her training at ION introduced her laboratory testing. Since this introduction she has spent the last 12 years working at the forefront of laboratory science and functional testing. It is a great passion and joy helping to support and educate practitioners on functional testing and its vital role in their clinical practice.
