Andrea Lines

Andrea Lines-Botell is a facilitator, speaker and creative wellbeing professional who leads mindfulness and meditation practice through Mandalia House. She has worked across corporate, educational and community settings in Canada and the UK, with groups ranging from small circles to audiences of more than 200 people.

Her professional background began in the UK in leadership, training and customer experience, including senior roles with British Airways in learning and development, behavioural management, recruitment and communication. Over time her work widened to include emotional wellbeing, neurodiversity and human-centred approaches to learning and support.

Andrea describes her areas of practice as communication and emotional intelligence, neurodiversity-informed support, emotional wellbeing and regulation, and mindfulness, grounding and nervous system awareness. She also draws on creative and sensory approaches. Her training includes Mindfulness Master Practitioner, Youth Mental Wellbeing Practitioner, Mental Health First Aid, and Level 3 and Level 4 study in child development and counselling and psychotherapy. She has also trained in Reflection Therapy, Deep Release Point Therapy and Vocal Resonance Therapy.

At the heart of Mandalia House is the belief that people process, learn and respond differently. Some need practical strategies, while others benefit from reflection, creativity or simply space to pause. Andrea's offerings include one-to-one support, family and parent sessions, group workshops, mindfulness practices, creative cooking and art, and retreats. She has supported people of all ages through mental health challenges, grief, addiction and trauma, offering what her Insight Timer page calls gentle care that blends behavioural training with mindfulness. She works in person and online with individuals, schools and organisations in the UK, Canada and internationally.
