Welcome to my website!

My name is Charlene McAndrews. For most of my adult life I have found success as a nurse and eventually as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I enjoyed those roles but yearned for something deeper.

I have been on a lifelong journey to understand who I am and how I fit into the world. Sometimes I felt very broken. I used to dream about finding a book that would have all the answers, fix me. I never found that book but what I have come to understand is that we are all complex people who have deep inner wisdom that has been covered by years of stress, strain and pain. We are all yearning to be heard and supported.  

I was introduced to Internal Family Systems (IFS) in 2020 and found it to be transformative. In a nutshell, IFS offers a space for building trust in our own inner wisdom. After completing IFS Level 1 training in August 2025, I am excited to open a door to helping others finding the joy of self discovery in my new role as a life coach.
