About

Welcome to my website. My name is Andrew Shurtleff and I am a coach, consultant, and writer based in Nyack, New York. As a personal coach, I help bring your body into alignment and increase your oxygen intake to alleviate your pain, tension, and stress. I do this through a series of breathing and movement exercises based in bioenergetics and psychocalisthenics as well as by working through your issues in life. I have also done excursions with clients, both domestic and abroad, from West Point to Turkey.

As an educational consultant, I draw on my academic and professional experiences as a student and an employee of both Clark University and Columbia University. I help you maximize your higher education and minimize your cost by teaching you how to get higher education to pay for itself. I do this by discussing alternative pathways through higher education, how you or your child can give or receive multiple gifts rather than just the degree, and strategies for parlaying your academic achievement into a successful career. I offer this in collaboration with B.S.F.S Investment Advisors. 

As a writing consultant who has worked with students in high school, college, and graduate school, I help you maximize your clarity and minimize your confusion. Academic and professional writing can be difficult, so I developed a visual outline method to help you objectify your thinking and reduce your anxiety. I have authored two books on adapting to crises and have a Masters and Doctorate of Education from Columbia University. I also have a B.A. in Psychology and M.S. in Professional Communication from Clark University.
