Connirae began her work in the early years of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, alongside the field's first generation of developers. With her sister Tamara Andreas, she co-created Core Transformation, and together they wrote the foundational book — Core Transformation: Finding the Wellspring Within. The method meets unwanted patterns through what someone most deeply wants underneath them, rather than by trying to change behaviour from the outside.
The Wholeness Work emerged decades later, from a quieter question: what would happen if attention turned not to the patterns at all, but to the felt sense of the self holding them? The method that followed is precise enough to be taught and repeated, gentle enough that no one needs to re-live what hurts.
She lives in Boulder, Colorado, and continues to teach, write, and host the Wholeness Work podcast.
Connirae's sister, Tamara Andreas, co-created Core Transformation and co-authored the foundational book, Core Transformation: Finding the Wellspring Within. Tamara is the lead teacher of Core Transformation today, and the work continues to evolve through her ongoing practice.
Connirae's late husband, Steve Andreas, was an author, teacher, and one of the foundational figures of the NLP field. His writing and clarity of mind shaped the early years of both their work; his presence remains part of the lineage Connirae continues.
Mark Andreas — author and teacher in his own right — carries the family's writing tradition forward. The Andreas NLP office, founded in the 1980s, continues as the administrative home for the wider Andreas body of work.
