Welcome to
The Aquarian Academy
Humanology for the New Era:
Science, Soul, and Support for how we Live, Love, Work, and Die.
I’m so glad you’re here.
What is the Aquarian Academy?
Aquarian Academy is the home for my work in Humanology for the new era — where evidence‑based mental health, spiritual wisdom, and yogic teachings come together to support how we live, love, work, and die.
It’s a growing ecosystem of services and teachings that includes:
WOMAN – a 12‑week journey for women who want to deepen self‑trust, embodiment, and feminine leadership (begins January 2026)
Living Close to the Veil – a 6‑week spiritual group for people facing their own mortality, to help them meet death and dying with more presence, peace, and meaning (coming Spring 2026!)
EMDR intensives – focused, trauma‑informed support to help release what’s stuck in the nervous system and create more freedom in the present (Apply Now)
Podcast & free resources – gentle conversations, practices, and reflections about mortality, meaning, and the soul.
Future retreats, trainings, and organizational offerings that bring conscious death, grief, and leadership support into workplaces and communities.
Aquarian Academy exists for the ones who care deeply — the seers, carers, givers, and helpers who quietly carry others. Everything we offer is designed to help them honour truth, love, and freedom in how they live and how they die, so they can express what’s really in their hearts and lift others up without being drained.
Meet Andrea Skitch, MSW RSW
I’m here for the ones who care deeply — the ones who quietly carry others. My work helps them honour truth, love, and freedom in how they live and how they die, so they can express what’s really in their hearts and lift others up without being drained.
I’m a psychotherapist, yoga and meditation teacher, and death & grief guide. For over 20 years, I’ve walked alongside people who are living close to the veil — through serious illness, aging, or loss — as well as those who hold space for others: physicians, therapists, caregivers, and devoted family members. My approach weaves evidence-based mental health practices (including EMDR and trauma-informed care) with spiritual and yogic teachings on death, the nervous system, and the infinite self.
Whether I’m guiding a woman into deeper self-leadership in WOMAN, holding a small circle in Living Close to the Veil, (coming soon!) or supporting someone through an EMDR intensive, my intention is the same: to create a safe, sacred space where you can tell the truth, remember your own divinity, and allow your presence to become a source of healing — for yourself and for the people you love.

What is IADC Therapy for Grief?
Developed by Dr. Allan Botkin, IADC Therapy is a brief, intensive intervention for grieving clients (usually 2-3 sessions). As a type of EMDR Therapy, it has the power to reduce sadness associated with loss which underpins most prolonged grief symptoms (depression, anger, anxiety, insomnia, mood imbalances, OCD, etc).
In a majority of cases, clients will experience a perception of connection with their deceased loved-one, leading to a profoundly healing transformation of grief into deeper peace, connection and relief.
