Don’t wait until you’re further along to experience ease with money.
Repattern your money now so you can
create the future you want.
ONE-ON-ONE COACHING
with Erica Ando
For folks who’ve chosen a non-traditional path in their lives and careers
to undergo money repatterning, making it easier to:
Make more than enough money, and still have energy left over
Feel grounded and stable even with fluctuating income
Confidently earn, spend & save money according to your values
You’re really good at what you do. You have the achievements to show for it.
But that doesn’t mean you don’t
worry about money.
It’s not just you. Most non-traditional earners and folks who have defied the expectations of their communities still feel like their finances are precarious. And it’s not all in their heads.
Expenses are high. Income fluctuates. Racial and gender pay gaps still exist. So much is beyond our control.
But we aren’t powerless. We do have agency and influence when it comes to our time and money.
When you repattern your internal money system, money will stop being a source of stress, and start being a resource you cultivate with ease and confidence.
Ease isn’t an external condition.
You have to access it from within first.
There’s a reason why budgeting tools, bigger paychecks, or high-visibility opportunities don’t neatly translate to a sense of financial stability and security for so many people.
And it’s not a lack of willpower or motivation. There’s nothing wrong with you.
You’re worthy of more compassion. Because there’s so much beneath the surface of patterns like overworking, overspending, or avoiding making money moves.
The roots of these behaviors are cultural. And they’re so deeply embedded that it’s hard to see how our self-worth has been distorted.
Meanwhile, we’re told we have to be more disciplined or achieve more before we can justify getting support to change things. But that just keeps us running on the same treadmill, trying to prove ourselves.
So let’s break the cycle.
Instead of waiting for external circumstances to change, let’s create the grounded growth and stability you’re worth of now.
You don’t have to wait. Because this work changes everything.
No matter where you are with your money,
you’re worth of ease now.
In our weekly sessions, we’ll unravel the roots of financial stress, time scarcity, or income ceiling, making it easier for you to:
Confidently have big personal and professional money conversations, make career moves or market yourself
Readily face money tasks you usually dread, from looking at statements to raising and sharing your prices
Stick to the flexible spending plans and saving systems we set up, because you’ve done the emotional repatterning
Allow yourself rest without fear of falling behind in your career or business
Know how to self-soothe in stressful moments so you’re not compelled to overspend, overwork, or overgive
No longer rely on a sense of urgency to get things done, so you avoid burnout
Buy the things you genuinely want and can afford without guilt, while feeling less drawn to stuff you don’t need
Stop losing energy to feeling out of control about money, and trust yourself to show up for future-you
ABOUT ME & MY METHOD
I’m Erica Ando. My coaching practice is for for folks who’ve chosen doing what they love over a predictable career. Further complicating things, they often hold identities that have been historically excluded from financial security, leisure time, and the freedom to pursue their talents on a personal, generational, relational, societal and/or systemic level.
I care about this work, because following your calling and belonging to an underrecognized community shouldn’t mean money has to be a source of pain.
My own career has been anything but conventional. I started out as an artist, getting my MFA and PhD. I also became a designer, built a successful design business, and burned out on hard work. Afraid to burn out again, I fell into a period of underearning that was just as stressful.
I’m here to help you avoid either extreme.
My Somatic Money Repatterning Method draws on extensive training and practice in somatics, mindfulness, the science of how trauma impacts the human nervous system, as well as personal finance and investing.
I bring it all together because creating ease with money is not just about sticking to the right budget or thinking abundant thoughts. It’s about the whole embodied human experience.
To facilitate lasting change, we need to process emotions through the body, and create feeling states that allow us to do the things we want with more ease, according to our true values.
That’s freedom.
Disrupt the culture that says you’re undeserving,
and create ease for yourself now.
How to work with me
Start with a single session. I’ll help you determine your next best money-move, make a key decision, and create a grounded emotional state where you feel like you have the time, resources, clarity, and energy you need to take one step in a new direction.
If you choose to continue our work together, I offer a 4-month commitment. Like caring for your mental or physical health, tending your relationship with money is a lifelong practice. That doesn’t mean you’ll always need coaching, it just means there may be times when you want more support.
Four months is the minimum time it takes to unpack complex patterns, introduce new ways of thinking and feeling to your nervous system, and see these internal shifts reflected in the way you show up and the way the world responds to you.
WHAT’S INCLUDED IN A 4-MONTH COACHING CONTAINER:
12 Private Coaching Sessions. We meet weekly on zoom 3 times a month, reserving the 4th week for integration.
Custom Tools & Assignments. We co-create actions steps. I provide journaling exercises or guided meditations to move you forward between sessions.

payment plans available
Let’s find out who you are
underneath all the outside money noise.
And set that person free.
When I’m your coach for 4 months or more,
you’re getting someone in your corner who will:
Always support your choices and understand your impulses without judgment, releasing the shame-tax on your energy
Be there to help you through stressful situations, high-stakes opportunities, and overwhelming decisions
Show you where you may be selling yourself short, overgiving, or complying with someone else’s idea of you
Balance out your perspective so you stop worrying what’s wrong with you, and start honoring your strengths
Compassionately help you see when you don’t actually need to buy something, breaking the spell of the shopping high
Guide you through essential tasks that bring up stress — like setting up an investment account. Yes, we can do that together on a call.
If you’re curious about working together or need a smaller dose of support to move you forward, I invite you to sign up for a 60-minute single session.
If you choose to go into deeper repatterning work with me, your session fee will be credited towards a 4-month package.
You will also have the option to meet with me once a quarter if a weekly commitment feels out of reach right now.
Earn without depleting yourself
Spend without betraying yourself.
Save without denying yourself.
The Pillars of Money Repatterning
My method revolves around three pillars that together, create a sturdy foundation for ease with money. It takes time to develop yourself in all three, which is why I recommend 4-months of coaching to truly unlearn old patterns and install the ones you want for yourself.
PILLAR 1
SEE YOURSELF CLEARLY
Discern your true values as you clear away cultural constructs and protective patterns you’ve internalized.
Know where your money comes from, where it goes, and why — relieving stress and empowering you to make changes.
Gain insights, self-compassion, and a greater ability to access creativity, confidence, and solutions in any moment.
PILLAR 2
PRACTICE NEW PATTERNS
Practice responding to money challenges, uncertainty, and opportunities intentionally, not reflexively.
Build confidence to make big decisions, have meaningful money conversations, and ask for what you want.
Give yourself what you need to enjoy life and do the work you feel called to do at the highest level — without feeling guilty.
PILLAR 3
PLAN TO EXPAND
Feel grounded enough to see the big picture, and learn how to align your steps today with the future you want.
Set up flexible, streamlined, and custom-to-you systems for managing, budgeting, and investing your money.
Be supported in making smart decisions and staying focused on what genuinely matters to you.
Ease is not an external condition.
You have to create it from within first.
