Andrew was born in 1942 in Kelowna, B.C., Canada. He entered a seminary to study for the Roman Catholic priesthood with the Benedictine monks at the age of 14. He trained with them for five years, gaining a solid academic grounding for his later studies, developing a deep spirituality and learning to live in a disciplined way. He then joined an Italian religious order. He took his philosophical studies in Connecticut before spending three years in Italy where he took a year’s novitiate and two years of theology in Rome.
After 11 years in the religious life, he left to pursue studies in psychology at the University of British Columbia. This was followed by a professional development year at Simon Fraser University in B.C. to qualify for a teaching certificate. For five years, he worked as a teacher and school counselor in the B.C. school system.
His studies resulted in degrees in Theology, Philosophy, Psychology and Education. Since 1974, Andrew has worked full time in the metaphysical field. He has created and taught many programs for personal growth, soul consciousness, esoteric studies and philosophical counselling in Canada and Europe. He has also taught over 5000 classes, seminars and workshops. He and his wife, Bonnie, have also conducted 15 international retreats in various countries. Andrew has been described as “a teacher of teachers and a healer of healers.” He has authored many books and manuals for developing soul consciousness and understanding the world in which we live.
The scope of his teachings is extremely broad and eclectic. He combines psychology and spirituality in such a way that he facilitates integration of the whole person: body, soul and spirit. Andrew is very skilled in the way he combines universal spiritual principles, esoteric philosophy, soul psychology, the latest brain research and the findings of quantum physics. The theme that runs through all his teaching and writing is on developing soul consciousness and gaining soul perspectives on practical realities of daily life. People who participate in his courses and programs find that they go through significant transformations in their personal lives, giving them a greater sense of purpose and well-being.
Andrew and Bonnie’s service in recent years has taken them to many countries besides their native Canada: U.S.A., Mexico, Greece, Cyprus, Panama, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland.
Andrew’s sensitivity and warmth, his deep interest in people’s well-being, his vast knowledge combined with intuitive perception, and his outstanding ability to express complex ideas in clear, simple language make him a very respected teacher.
Traditional counselling, coaching and therapy, regardless of the orientation involved, is centered around the personality and aims to deal with personality issues from a personality perspective. This has been necessary, and still is, for people who have not consciously started to develop soul consciousness. Once soul consciousness begins to have more influence in a person’s life it becomes absolutely necessary to address personality issues, challenges, difficulties, etc. from a soul perspective. This is because once soul awakens, it functions more strongly as a powerful cause of transformation. The changes then needed in personality life must be made to facilitate soul expression. Soul awakening demands soul expression, and this expression can only occur through a personality that is not resistant and is open to soul. This takes special awareness and training, which the soul-based counselling program teaches. The psychology involved in this program integrates personality psychology with soul psychology. This is the most effective approach to making significant and lasting changes in one’s life.

Spiritual Counseling Course - A new approach to fill the needs of others. This online spiritual counseling training course presents a new way of looking at ourselves and life. The basic ingredients of this new view are ages old, but the ways we apply and express them are new. With this program you will learn how to:
Are you ready to understand the fundamentals of who you are?
Some people think that to be soul conscious or spiritual, there’s no need to know the personality. While this perspective fits with the old Spirit-based spirituality, it is totally inadequate for the new soul-based spirituality.
Soul uses the personality for its expression. Knowing the personality is like developing the technical or artistic skills of a craftsman or artist. Without this knowledge, inspiration is badly expressed, and cannot be communicated in a way that is sensitive to others.
All questions that we may have about life arise from this one fundamental question: Who Am I? All problems begin with not knowing this answer. The answer changes with time and with changes in consciousness. Our joy comes from insights into this question. Get your own insights here.
Whether we realize it or not, each of us takes the soul journey. It initially starts as instinct and is unconscious to us. At some point, however, we are ready to find more meaning and purpose. It’s then that we awaken to the inner need to express the love that is the soul within.
The soul journey is not about information and knowledge, positive mental attitude or basic awareness. Instead it is about trust, intuition, self-healing, creativity, expression, purpose and universal laws. We need to know how to become and express our essence.
Imagine ...
having a strong, confident sense of who you are and how you live life
knowing your purpose and why you are here
experiencing how you can help others and yourself feel more joy, peace of mind, personal power and meaning
understanding your unconscious motives so you can choose more wisely.
