Through hospital stays, invasive treatments, and the challenge of maintaining family life amidst her health battles. Join us as Andrea takes us through the psychological aftermath of her grueling experience with HG. About Andrea Stefens: Andrea Stefens is a proud hyperemesis coach. She’s two-time HG survivor who uses her experience with HG and what she’s learned in over 12 years of being a practicing creative arts therapist to coach women through HG and processing the experience afterwards.
