About Authentic Edge

If you’re ‘ok’ or ‘fine’ in your life, but you want better than that, then we want to help you get there! We are about helping you to gain awareness, drop the bullshit, and start living fully!

– ‘Find what makes you great!’ –

Pillar Values:

• Authenticity
• Courage
• Spirit
• Growth

Authenticity – Being Authentic  doesn’t mean sticking within our comfort zones and not trying anything different, it just means deeply and truly understanding ourselves and becoming congruent with that.  Everyone is unique. We all have different strengths, interests and want different things in our lives.  Once we gain awareness of our true self, then we can start to live an authentic, vibrant and congruent life, instead of simply tolerating an ‘ok’ existence.

Courage – In order to progress in general we must develop the habit of routinely getting outside our comfort zones. This takes courage! By consistently taking courageous acts, we can develop and maintain deep inner and outer confidence and get better results.

Growth – Life is in constant change.  If we don’t change with the things around us, we will struggle to cope with our lives, not to mention having a boring life!

Spirit – We may have physical health and mental stability, but in order to have enriched lives we must also consider our spirituality.  Spirituality doesn’t have to be a spooky or esoteric thing.  Spirituality is simply being in touch with our true nature and mindful and connected to ourselves and what goes on in our lives.

About Andrew

Andrew is a Civil Engineer and worked in that capacity for a number of years, but his passion has always been health. When Andrew was younger his passion was more geared towards physical health, hence his heavy involvement in sports and becoming a personal trainer, but in the last 5 years Andrew has become fascinated with mental and spiritual health and how these different aspects of health interact.

“I probably fell into Engineering partly due to the fact that I perceived it as a ‘respected’ and ‘secure’ profession, but also largely because as an 18 year old trying to select a career path, I didn’t understand much about myself or different professions.”

Many years later, while on site at work as an infrastructure engineer, Andrew found himself more interested in facilitating better communication between stakeholders or helping individuals gain greater awareness on their own mental limitations, rather than the strictly engineering components of the job.

“I will always appreciate the gifts that these past experiences have provided me, but finally I threw my hat over the fence, and decided to leave Engineering and study Psychology and Philosophy where my passions lie.”

Andrew recently completed degrees majoring in psychology and philosophy, and minoring in linguistics and physiology.

Andrew has a keen interest in meditation due to its efficacy and broad ranging applications and benefits. He has completed a meditation teacher training course, and is generally interested in helping people reach their goals and to be the best versions of themselves.

“I think a large part of becoming the best version of ourselves has to do with breaking down physical and psychological barriers and patterns of thinking and behaviour that we have built up over a lifetime of ‘bad programming’. Everyone has their own challenges and life lessons, but the journey is more fun once you find your Authentic Edge.”
