A life in words and conversation
About Andreea Austen
AUTHOR • VISUAL POETRY • PEER SUPPORT
Andreea Austen is an author whose work explores the places where beauty and suffering coexist.
Drawing from lived experience, she writes about grief and loss, eating-disorder recovery, motherhood, self-worth, mortality, spirituality and presence. She is the author of the poetry collection I AM THIS MOMENT, which moves through The Wound, The Awakening and The Sacred Ordinary—exploring what it means to live alongside what has hurt us while remaining open to beauty, connection and the present moment.
At the heart of Andreea’s work is a reverence for ordinary life: the small gestures, memories and moments through which we come to understand who we are, what we love and what matters.
In the Community
Andreea volunteers with the Pregnancy and Infant Loss (PAIL) Network in Ontario, providing peer support by phone and participating in community outreach supporting individuals and families affected by pregnancy and infant loss.
Peer support provided through PAIL Network is part of Andreea’s volunteer work with the organization and is separate from AndreeaAusten.com.
I am interested in the places where beauty and suffering coexist—and in what becomes visible when we stop trying to look away.
