You & Me Productions Partners in Empowerment Now


About Us
YOU & ME PRODUCTIONS was founded in 2003 by Patrick Feren and Rita Andriello. It began as a theatrical production company, presenting high-quality original theatrical pieces, cabaret shows and educational workshops.

While pursuing their theatrical endeavors, Patrick and Rita were simultaneously studying the teachings of Ernest Holmes, Emerson, Thoreau, Wayne Dyer, Raymond Charles Barker and other New Thought thinkers.

In 2008 they received their licenses as Science of Mind Practitioners. Their belief in the importance of breaking through barriers that keep individuals from living life to the fullest inspired them to make a shift in focus. Thus, PARTNERS IN EMPOWERMENT was born.

These two passionate and enthusiastic individuals now combine their spiritual eduction with their extensive teaching and coaching background.

Partners in Empowerment offers companies and organizations individually tailored workshops, seminars and dynamic power talks. Rita and Patrick coach individuals in weight loss, building self-esteem, letting go of negative belief patterns and much more.
