Andrea BugariI am Swiss and have been living and working internationally for the last 30 years, mostly as a leadership coach and organisation development consultant. During all my life, I have been interested in Martial Arts, outdoor sports, spirituality and personal development. I am excited that I now can combine my passions and skills to help others.
I live in West London with three cats and lots of creatures in my wildlife garden. I am also the Chair of Ealing Hedgehog Friends, a rescue created in 2023. My house is a meeting place for friends - lots of cooking, chatting, drumming, and saxophone playing going on here. |

My passion and skills
Coaching
For the last thirty years, I have worked with international companies on leadership development and team collaboration. When coaching professionals and facilitating training seminars, I gathered a diverse toolbox of exercises that I now can use to help clients create a powerful mindset and accelerate positive change.

Martial Arts
I have trained Japanese and Chinese Martial Arts for thirty years and hold a second-degree black sash in Tai Chi Chuan and Kung Fu. My lineage connects to Shaolin Grand Master Fu Leung. I teach Tai Chi to foster health and vitality, and use Martial Arts exercises and principles for my holistic coaching: They teach us a good stance, focus, breathing...

Nordic Walking
Originally a cross-country skier in Switzerland, I picked up Nordic walking when I moved to London. As I gained so much fitness and joy through pole walking, I wanted to share it with others. I got my instructor licence through the British Nordic Walking Association, and then added some training to support people who live with Parkinson's.

MeditationI have been a Reiki practitioner and teacher for 25 years. Together with other meditation and energy balancing systems, Reiki has given me some deep knowledge about meditation, visualisation, self-healing and personal development. I now use these tools to help clients relax, train their mindsets and connect to their inner wisdom and joy.

My love of Nature - and Bach Flower TherapyOn our Nordic walks, I often talk about the wildflowers at the wayside. My deep love for nature runs in the family: from my early childhood in Switzerland, I was taught about fungi, wildflowers and alpine plants. Foraging, done in a respectful and sustainable way, was a big family spare time. Later in life, I spent time with Native Americans in the USA who taught me about the uses of some of their herbs. The next step then was training as a Bach flower practitioner, which I added to my healing and development offers - if you are interested in these, please visit my second website: The Fireside Lodge.
