testimonials
“Drew is truly a wizard with a true gift for working with people on a deep soul level. They know how to look into the blind spots and draw out what's hiding in the shadows with the right questions and genuine curiosity, all while holding the big, mythopoetic picture of one's life journey.
Working with Drew, I am always baffled by the connections he draws between seemingly unrelated things, helping me tie together disparate threads and connect the dots of constellations to help me in my healing and wholing.
They are incredibly well studied and experienced in the realms of dream work, soul work, shadow, etc, but there's an element of intuition that seems to guide his work; they really trust the mystery and that all that shows up in the process is a crucial part of the story.
The insights that Drew has helped guide me to have literally been life-changing, and I am so grateful for having opportunities to do questing and dream work with them.”

"I've been so grateful for Drew's warm and easy support as I work on creating a warmer and easier relationship with my self. At first I wasn't sure exactly what I was needing from our work, and I appreciated Drew's willingness to join me in my not knowing. (Then sure enough the themes of our work became clear to both of us pretty quickly). I find their presence to be sincere, deeply curious, and deeply empathetic. They hold sacred space with reverence but not a trace of sanctimony. Truly a fellow traveler. If there's territory where he won't accompany me, we haven't found it yet!

“I had been searching for a mentor for years . They needed to be strong, masculine, loving and deep, both esoterically and emotionally. Drew was able to hold the form for my growth and show me a way to honor myself in a new stage of life. My inner guide and the universe brought Drew and I together, where in our first meeting Drew reflected what they saw in me, in a way I could not only hear but accept.
I spent a year working regularly with Drew exploring the deeper elements of my journey, guided with a deft hand and such profound care . Sometimes we unearthed a archetypal dream, uncovering new depths of meaning, while other times I brought in material from my day world that we worked as dream.
After the death of my father I was a shattered mess and just needed to cry and be heard in my grief.
Most times our sessions were about building resources for me to hold my self in those places of dissolution.
I culminated my mentorship with Drew on a vision fast of epic proportions, and now feel like I have the resources and the deeper self love I was searching for, and the confidence to help others in much the same way.
I have the deepest gratitude for Drew, or XX, as they are known in some circles. I have become more my self in their reflection.”

“Drew is a magical dreamworker and guide to soul. They use deep imagery and somatic tools to help you experience the dream as it wants to be experienced. Their intuitive capacities will help you find just the right edge at just the right time. They build on and combine a multitude of tools and extensive experience to support you through what's most alive for you. They have a tender and intuitive way of making the uncomfortable, tolerable. This has allowed me to work through my lived experiences in a safe and titrated way while still holding onto the threads of soul. Drew is an essential part of my journey as they will be yours as well. Working with Drew is truly something to be experienced.”

“He has a nose for individual destiny. And like a wolf, he traverses the dark wood of our chaotic experiences following that scent to its source. But most essentially, he bears witness to our journeys with such honor and respect that we see ourselves more truly, and in so doing, we rediscover and sharpen our own primal instincts and sense of soulful agency.
Part forensic pathologist and part shadow transmuting alchemist, Drew both uncovers the mysteries buried deep in our pasts, locating the fatal inflictions, and sprinkles fae dust and fertilizer into the ancient wounds, bringing our ghosts back to life, inviting them to the party of consciousness and the dance of integration.
And while this all feels true, it also feels like a sleight of hand. Because while Andrew is present for all these explorations and magicks, he is not so much the wizard as he is the wizard’s apprentice. The Wizard is himself, ourselves, the protagonist, the narrator, the client if you like, and also the great mystery working through the grand tale we weave when we engage in this work of deep discovery.”
-Jamie Alderman: Dream Work Client and Adult Wilderness Fast participant
“On this personal journey of interconnection to the natural world and a deep longing to understand my soul at center, I have studied with many different teachers and guides. And as a guide myself I contemplate a lot the qualities that good soul guides possess... What is clear is that Drew has the ability to offer questions that lead to depths of soul in unexpected ways. When I contemplate work I have done with Drew I see an image of how it leads to wormholes of intimacy with myself, connection to the mystery of the world, and possibilities of inquiry that I had not even imagined. His humor, coyote trickster ways and deep interest and empathy for trauma work are an uncanny combo that I have witnessed support me and others to edge walk in ways that open up portals of possibility. Working with Drew is never dull, I am surprised by the twists and turns of inquiry and having a companion that helps myself and others see things anew is priceless.”
