About Me

Hi, I'm Andy and I'm thrilled to be one of the co-founders of this website. I believe it's my mission in life to support people in living a happier and healthier life and to help raise the consciousness of the planet so that we can all move towards a more harmonious and sustainable lifestyle. I hope that Holistic Local goes some way in helping to achieve that.

I have many interests in life, but one of my biggest passions is spiritual development and learning about the nature of our reality, the universe, and of course ourselves! I'm an explorer and I see life as a big adventure.

I love exploring different spiritual philosophies but I'm generally drawn to more practical and experiential systems like shamanism and I've had some life-changing experiences using a plant teacher called Ayahuasca in South America.

I absolutely love travelling and exploring new places. Nothing gets me more excited than getting on a plane (ok, not so eco-friendly I know!) to some far off destination, although sadly I haven't had the time to do much travelling for quite awhile now, but I'll be doing more of that soon I hope.

I love South America, I've been 3 times now, once to Peru and twice to Brazil. Machu Picchu in Peru is simply one of the most awe-inspiring places I've ever visited and I'm hoping to go back some day soon.

I always love to hear from other members, so please don't hesitate to send me a note, or add me to your friends list!

Anyway, thanks for reading, I hope you enjoy using Holistic Local!

Quotes I Love: "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
- Marianne Williamson

Hi there,

I have yet to fully explore this site but it looks really interesting. Once I upgrade my computer and it stops having every couple of minutes, I intend to have a good look around. It is always great to connect in with like minded people, so a big hello to everyone

With warm smiles

Hey Andy,

Good to join your circle. Like you I love life, people and everything that we are all connected to.

Off to do some mountain climbing in Italy and will write about it when I get back.

Just had a book published actually but it won't be available on Amazon and in the shops until May.

Promise to let you know about it. It's a fun, inspiring, spiritual read with a dash of spice and humour.

Thanks for inviting me on to your friends,

Take care and live life to the full!

Maria :)

I completey agree with Aannsha, where wold we be without you? I have met so many 'like minded' souls on this site and have made some really good friends, you included Andy. You are a wonderful person with a good head on your shoulders and although you don't realise it you and your site have been my rock over the past few months and have brought some light back into my life. Thank you xxxxx

Andy, I've just read yours and Carl's e-book "Hedolism - because life wasn't meant to be a struggle" - and I HAD to write and say IT'S GREAT! Short, to the point, but totally encapsulates how I see myself - a hedolist!!!

I also want to acknowledge what a positive influence you are in my life through your works - this site, your e-books, forum posts - your spirit shines through great, strong, and so very positively. Thank you for BEING you!

Love, love - Aannsha
