About Us


My
Story
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by. My name is Andrea Danner - aka "The Mindful Mermaid". As a little girl I dreamed of being a mermaid. Living here in the town of Colonial Beach along the Potomac River where you can often smell salt in the air and hear the calls of the gulls and ospreys, it is possible to believe that mermaids do exist!
Why a Mind and Body studio you might ask? I have over 15 years teaching experience in group fitness including Yoga and Pilates. I am also a professional artist and state certified art teacher (Grades PK-12). I've taught a variety of art classes over the years including painting, drawing, collage, sculpture, clay, fiber arts and more to students ages 2-90. I'm now merging both my loves under one business for the chance to share those magical zen moments with others. The Mindful Mermaid Studio is a place to come in and let go of daily stress, to create in a welcoming environment, and to explore and be inspired.
So, come "Make a Splash with Us" at The Mindful Mermaid!
