Andrea Lines

Andrea Lines-Botell is a facilitator, speaker and creative wellbeing professional who leads Mandalia House. Her work has always centred on people: how we communicate, learn, respond to challenge and relate to one another. She has led workshops, public speaking events and training sessions in corporate, educational and community settings in Canada and the UK, for small groups and for audiences of more than 200.

Her career began in the UK in leadership, training and customer experience, including senior roles with British Airways. There she worked in learning and development, behavioural management, recruitment, communication and customer experience. Over time her focus grew toward emotional wellbeing, neurodiversity and human-centred approaches to learning and support.

Today she brings these threads together through Mandalia House. Her areas of practice include communication and emotional intelligence, neurodiversity-informed support, emotional wellbeing and regulation, and mindfulness, grounding and nervous system awareness. She also uses creative and sensory approaches, including mindful cooking, art and stone carving. She has worked with individuals, families, schools and organisations on communication, neurodiversity, emotional wellbeing, overwhelm and periods of change, from one-to-one support to group programmes and community initiatives.

Her training includes Mindfulness Master Practitioner, Youth Mental Wellbeing Practitioner and Mental Health First Aid. She has also completed Level 3 study in autism, ADHD and child development and Level 4 counselling and psychotherapy training. Her additional specialist training covers Reflection Therapy, Deep Release Point Therapy and Vocal Resonance Therapy.

Mandalia House rests on the belief that people process, learn and respond differently. Some need practical strategies, others reflection, creativity, sensory approaches or simply space to pause. Her approach stays practical, human-centred and adaptable, so that people feel understood and better equipped to move forward in ways that are realistic and sustainable.
