Help You Grow Through What You Go Through

I'm here for you...

Whatever relationship challenge you are facing, I want you to know I am here to help. I am here to work alongside you to cultivate the relationship you desire.

My Story

Hi I’m Vance!

Like you, I found myself at the start of a relationship journey. There I was, starting over, just my son and I determined to heal and find harmony in a new space.

I then understood how challenging moving on feels. As things progressed, I began to understand that embracing the next chapter of my life required me to advance through a growth process. I came to understand that my journey and process were uniquely my own.

Likewise, I will accompany you through your own journey of growth. Using a combination of research, established steps and creative techniques; I will help you understand your current needs, biases, and patterns. Then we’ll determine the roadmap to your desired outcome. And we will go at your own pace, tailored to your personality and circumstances.

This means this process is uniquely yours, not other people’s solutions molded on you with the hope it might help!

Together, we’ll identify your goals, map out detailed steps and then work on each one until we reach a solution that enables you to advance. Your goals and when you reach them are unique to you. Seeing you become a healthier, more balanced, and more fulfilled person is my mission.

That’s the meaning of Advance to Grow.

1-on-1 Coaching

Personal, Practical, Powerful

My personal coaching programs are a great option for those who want answers and someone to walk with them personally. I offer one-on-one coaching that is private, focused on the right solutions and timing for you, and flexible to help you achieve your goals.

"At the lowest point in my professional and personal life, when my mental and emotional state was in a tug of war with even being, Andre came to the rescue and created balance. Not only did his techniques and emotional IQ intelligence offer comfort and much needed guidance, but his communication style is also above all others. His flexibility gave me an outlet to express myself and seek assistance at times I needed it the most without resistance nor him being unavailable. He was always present and responsive to my needs. His training in the areas I needed, of career and relationship coaching, was top notch. As a result, my entire outlook on life and my relationships (personal and business) became more positive, and I am now PRESENT in all interactions."

Personal Coaching

“As his client for well-over a six-month period, his highly attentive services positively impacted my situations and over-all outlook on life tremendously. He listened very attentively to my needs and simultaneously was responsive to my emotional needs. He formulated a tailored recovery regimen for me that consisted of me doing self-introspection, self-accountability and self-awareness to the conditions that I considered to be adverse. I had to acknowledge and accept the part that I played in my own destruction and learned to change the dynamics to gain a more positive outlook. Vance is awesome and his incredible regimen is designed to identify your weakness and assist you in mental strength conditioning of those areas. I am positive proof that it works and more positive than ever, ready, willing and able to conquer that next challenging episode. Therefore, it is without hesitation nor mental reservation that highly recommend his services.”

I met Vance while emotionally broken from a recent breakup, and he made me feel more confident in my ability to recognize patterns and red flags that could lead to a failing relationship. The one thing I took away from our coaching sessions was ensuring that your values are aligned.

“This coaching experience with Vance was phenomenal. He helped me look into myself, and recommended ways to grow as an individual. I highly recommend his coaching to anyone looking to improve through self awareness.”

Sebastian G.

“Encouraging, thoughtful, motivating, non-judgemental, funny and an all around amazing coach and person. He has not only provided me useful insights, new tools and fresh perspectives quickly, but has been a great help in finding strategies to navigate challenges in business, relationships and life overall. I feel heard, seen and supported when I engage with Vance and after each session I walk away with a significantly more empowered outlook. He came as a recommendation to me at a time when I was looking for ways to cope through a difficult situation, and has since shown up for me whenever I need him. He has been a godsend as a coach and a friend, and I continue to recommend him to family, friends and anyone ready to do the work to see positive change in their life."
