Andy Fox: Founder of Living with Intention

Andy Fox.

HeartMath Certified Trainer & Coach. ACT Coach. IMMA Accredited Mindfulness Trainer. Founder of Living with Intention and creator of the Self Blueprint.

Melbourne. Coach. Lifelong student of how humans actually change.

Andy Fox is a Melbourne-based coach, HeartMath Certified Trainer, and the creator of the Living with Intention framework — an eight-stage methodology for conscious personal transformation built on the convergence of HeartMath coherence science, ACT, and mindfulness.

His work comes from a simple observation: most personal development doesn't work. Not because the ideas are wrong — but because they ignore the physiology. The body and mind aren't separate. You can't think your way to a different life if your nervous system is running the old program.

The Living with Intention framework is his answer to that gap — a structured, evidence-based journey that works with both the science of the body and the architecture of the mind.

"I built this framework because I needed it. The science gave me the tools. My own journey gave it the bones."

— Andy Fox

How Andy works

Andy works at the level of identity: the Concept of Self and the beliefs running beneath conscious choice. All long-lasting change happens at the identity level, and that's where the eight stages of the Self Blueprint are aimed.

He's a coach, not a psychologist. He doesn't diagnose or treat mental health conditions, and he'll say so plainly if what someone is carrying needs clinical care. ACT coaching vs therapy explains where that line sits.

The story behind it

Andy built a life that looked exactly right from the outside and felt wrong from the inside, and spent years not knowing why. Seeing the pattern underneath it, and finding the science that explained it, is what became Living with Intention. Read Andy's full story.
