Andrea Tolbert, Wellbeing & Happiness Coach
True happiness isn't a destination — it's a way of living.
About
Most people think happiness is something you chase or earn. I'm honored to help you discover it's something you already have access to — and, alongside you, build the wellbeing foundation that lets you live from that place. This is what I call Happiness Coaching.
The Absolute Happiness approach starts by defining happiness — a definition unique to each individual — and ends with building real, lived steps toward it. Happiness Coaching is a transformative, collaborative process that honors one truth: every person, no matter who they are, where they come from, or what they've been through, has the capacity for genuine happiness and abundance.
Hi, I'm Andrea — As a Wellbeing & Happiness Coach I support people around the world in breaking down barriers of scarcity, fear, or "stuckness" so they can realize a dream, feel happier, or simply live well.
My coaching is grounded in high level coaching education with the Institute for Coaching Excellence and guided by an extensive education in social work (MSW) and business (MBA), plus more than 10 years in the wellness field helping clients become their best selves and fulfill their wildest dreams.
As someone who has had to claw her way to happiness through barriers of race, class, gender, disability, military service, and queer identity, I'm uniquely positioned to understand the invisible forces that get in the way — and to offer real hope that, despite our shared challenges, we can build lives of abundance and happiness.
What makes me happy?
My son — the most brilliant star in the sky, becoming a pilot at only 15!
Zumba is my passion. It helps manage my chronic disabilities and is a wellspring of joy I get to share with everyone.
Travel is my first love and always will be. I enjoy living, learning, and loving around the world.
Cats are a constant presence in my life — I can't imagine happiness without them. I have three: Tiger, Trout, and Lily.
Laughter is central to my happiness. It runs through all my relationships, and I especially love spreading it around the world through Laughter Yoga.
Actual proof — because there's nothing like your own results from the universal medicine. The proof of the pudding is in the eating:
- Started three businesses: a thriving psychotherapy private practice, a lucrative short- and long-term accommodation rentals business, and now a wellbeing practice blending my love of fitness, audacious abundant living, and holistic emotional wellness
- Traveled around the world….and still going
- World-schooled and homeschooled my son through middle school, then transitioned him successfully into a renowned aviation academy
- Built a fruitful life as a digital nomad and expat — kid and cats in tow

Committed to Access
As a person who has experienced barriers to the wealth of wellness, it is important to me to have low barriers to access coaching services. Most packages are set by default to ‘in-house’ no interest/no fees payment plans, and all packages can be purchased using Care Credit financing options to include their health and wellness credit card and one time use loans, often available with deferred interest waived if paid in full by the end of the promotion period.

Testimonials
"Life coaching with Andrea was a blessing and a privilege. It exceeded my expectations!"
- Sheryl
The work I’ve done with Andrea has been life changing. She has a gift of seeing a person’s potential and brings that to light. She is incredibly insightful, supportive and nonjudgmental. She has helped me believe in myself and achieve my goals. The tapping sessions we’ve done in coaching have brought to light my limiting beliefs and what’s holding me back, and we have worked through those together. I am so grateful to have Andrea as a resource on my journey to reaching my full potential and creating the life I’ve always dreamed of.
- Amanda
Andrea has a natural skill to make you feel safe, seen and heard the second your session starts. No matter how sensitive my topic was, Andrea met me with the emotional support I needed and also gave me reality checks I needed. My only regret is not having had more sessions with her.
- Mie M.
Andrea is a one of a kind coach. She has deep empathy, lived experience, and incredible coaching skills that help her clients feel heard, understood, and inspired to take action. I have learned so much from her and am grateful for her coaching.
- Nathalie A.
Andrea is such a joyful person to work with, her positive energy is infectious. But she's also tuned into my mood, and meets me where I'm at. She points out the subtle shifts in my body language and tone and helps me uncover what's going on below the surface - uncovering things I had no idea were there! I've been working with her for several months and am so happy I found her! Highly recommend!
- Heather L.
