The Soultender’s Effect
Andrea “Dre” Ybarra has worn many hats — server, bartender, event services, basketball coach — each one teaching her how to read the room, anticipate needs, and keep things moving when the stakes are high. But it wasn’t until burnout and grief brought her to breathwork that she discovered a tool powerful enough to support the human behind the hustle.
Gifted in the practice almost as soon as she found it, Dre now brings breathwork into the very spaces she once stood in — spaces where the people are more than their roles. Caregivers, parents, partners, coaches, students, or simply a person doing their best to make it through the day — all benefit from the awareness of how an intentional breath can make all the difference.
The Soultender’s Effect is at the heart of The Gift You Are Collection — experiences, tools, and resources designed to honor the whole person, not just the part the world sees. It’s a rare blend of lived experience, human-first care, and a touch of luxury presence that turns even a few minutes into a moment of restoration.
Andrea, Dre, is also the author of The After Party: Love Leaves A Legacy, celebration of life guide, a long-time idea brought to life as a published resource. Born from lived experience, it offers support and guidance for selecting the details of one’s own celebration in advance, so loved ones aren’t left to decide later.
It’s a work that affirms what Dre knows to be true: You Are A Whole Occasion - in life, in death, in legacy
In the end, the Soultender’s work is about: seeing the human, reminding them of their resilience and celebrating the gift they are.
