The Bridge. The Gap.

If you’re someone that knows you could be taking better care of yourself - but can’t seem to stick to a restrictive plan

If you:
✅ frequently sabotage
✅ feel super guilty when you eat certain foods
✅ you’re not getting the results you want even if you’re eating healthy
✅ you have daily symptoms like fatigue, waking up exhausted, uninspired, tired, burned out by your life
✅ are suffering from a chronic disorder that your doctors can’t seem to solve

Guess what?

You’re living in the “Gap” 😫

You know how you want to feel & be - you know you want more energy, more inner peace, more satisfaction

But you don’t have a system to get there - & heal at the root - so you can finally cross that Bridge!

Hi, I’m Dr Erica & I invite you to join You - Happy, Healthy, Healing

I designed this 12 week program to conquer stress, master your mind & body, and overcome resistance to change, so you can finally feel healthy, happy, & vibrant with ease!

Here’s how it works:
1. We start with an Energy Alignment call to get super clear on your “Gap” - assessing exactly where we need to focus to create more wellness & energy

2. Wellness Orientation - this step sets the stage for Wellness made easy. Here we start to build your “Bridge” towards the healthy body & life that you desire. This is all about empowering You!

3. Wellness Basics - this is where we dial in the most important wellness habits that offer the biggest payoffs - creating more energy & momentum. The goal here is more satisfaction & less pain! We want to continue to build a “Bridge” of wellness practices that you love & enjoy doing to take the best care of you

4. Wellness Mastery & lots of healing work! The focus of this program is to heal what is at the root of your unconscious “bad habits” & behaviors so you can stop fighting against yourself! You will also be empowered with the knowledge & tools to create long term wellness!

✨This is a new way✨

✨This is a better way✨

This is the only way to meaningfully move in the direction of health, happiness, & wellness. I’m here to help!

The doors close on Wednesday, there are only a few days left to join us! DM or comment below ⬇️

I’ve struggled with my weight most of my life. I do have Hashimotos (autoimmune thyroid) - and with it was a story of “it has to be hard”, “it’s not easy for me”, “because of x,y,z”

During lockdown in 2020 I did attempt to change my diet & I started walking hours a day, but nothing was changing - which reinforced my inner narrative. I was super frustrated!

So I did what I’ve learned to do really well - and I focused on self acceptance. I focused on what was fun & made me happy - spending time with my kiddo, my bf, my clients…

All those things were great, but when I was honest with myself, I wasn’t BEING who I wanted to be

I knew the key was inside of me - inside my heart, inside my mind, but I didn’t know how to make it happen

The turning point occurred when I learned two new healing modalities that changed everything!

I understood why nothing was changing

I learned how to locate & find the parts inside of me that where creating that narrative

I discovered how to heal those parts of me that were resisting change

A part of me was desperately trying to keep me safe, but was simultaneously holding me back

I have had this vision of being a health coach & healer for awhile, but I wanted to be my own best client 1st

Because I am an overachiever I also have been mentoring with an amazing health coach that is a genius when it comes to figuring out how to heal chronic conditions & difficult cases

And his wife is a genius of the mind-body connection as well. I feel like I have found all the pieces to the puzzle of creating lasting change

I’ve wrapped up my entire story, my trainings, and my experience into something I know can help others who are feeling frustrated with their health and how they feel

It’s my life’s work and it launches September 16th! There are 10 spots and 2 are already filled!

I’m so stoked to work with these 2 humans who are here to do amazing things - Who are ready to move beyond their narrative that is holding them back - To discover the parts of them that are ready to be healed

There are 8 spots remaining, who is ready for some healing?

I’m super excited! I’ve been quietly working on a new project!

I’ve been immersed in the healing world since acupuncture school in 2003. But thinking back, I was already taking Tai Chi & yoga in the 90’s

I have an endless curiosity about the inner nature of the body, & how we are affected by our minds, thoughts, & past experiences

It’s taken me down a long road of learning about biology, biochemistry, Chinese medicine, metaphysics, yoga, mindset, manifestation, meditation - whew, it’s been a journey!

Add to that:
🔹20 years of personal experience with Autoimmune thyroid - tinkering with diets, supplements, protocols
🔹13+ yrs of clinical experience working with clients

All that time, money, study, focus, & attention - this is what I know to be true:

1. I’m here to help!

2. The people I’m here to help are like me - kind, big hearted, purpose driven humans who are stuck with pain, stress, & symptoms - often as a result of doing so much for others & for the world

They are:
🔸Frustrated - You’ve tried everything and feel like nothing is working

🔸Fatigued - by the weight of stress, life, & the world. You feel it all - it’s hard to find peace & balance

🔸Frazzled - you feel out of balance on all levels - physically, mentally, emotionally - & don’t know where to get started unraveling it all

3. Most of the info out there when it comes to health is missing ONE HUGE piece of the puzzle

YOU

🔹Your state of being - how do YOU really feel at your core? If you don’t start here you’re going to be constantly fighting with yourself to make healthy changes

🔹What’s important to YOU - what’s your definition of wellness? What makes you feel happy & free? Your wellness plan should be built around that

🔹What do YOU need? Most “bad habits” are simply you fulfilling unconscious unmet needs in less than healthy ways… & this can be healed!

🔹Empowering YOU - so you can confidently move forward knowing Who you are, What you’re doing, & Why

So, I’m wrapping all this up into a Healing program. More details coming when it drops next week. If this sounds like it could be helpful to You & your current state of health, drop a comment or reach out with a DM.

Between the highs & lows

The wins & losses

The connections & the betrayals

Good days & bad

There’s you:
✨Neutral
✨Grounded
✨Human
✨Whole
✨Perfection

From my experience the more I spend time doing things that connect me to this state of being, the happier I am even when I’m tired or feeling blah

The things that get me there:
✨Barefoot beach walks
✨Baths
✨Being in nature
✨Breathwork
✨Meditation
✨Massage & Acupuncture

I believe in a world where every human knows their inner potential, is empowered to heal their heart, mind, and body, and has the freedom to create a healthy and happy life.

I figured something out. If you’re happy, it’s way easier to make healthy changes.

Who knew?! 🤷🏻‍♀️

We’re always taught that we need to change to be happy...

When I lose weight, then I’ll be happy.

Once I start eating better, then I’ll feel better about myself.

When I start exercising more, then I’ll feel worthy of feeling good about myself.

Do you see what’s wrong with this equation? ⬆️⁉️

We are creating a condition on our health and happiness.

We are pushing our happiness away to a future date “once we stop doing this”, or “being like that”...

We aren’t allowing ourselves to be happy or feel good if we aren’t following x,y,z health regime or have “fallen off the wagon”.

It also seems impossible to make any lasting changes even if we want to. Nothing seems to work or we can’t stick to any plan. Our bodies don’t seem to cooperate with our desire to be healthy.

Try this on (it’s a subtle but BIG SHIFT!)

If we can allow ourselves to be and feel happy now, to feel worthy now, to feel good now... to be grateful for our bodies, for our hearts, for our minds...

From this feel good state of being - it’s way easier to create change.

From this relaxed state - you’re no longer fighting with yourself.

From this state of acceptance - all your parts start working in coherence, and healthy change happens with ease!

Whole new definition of Self care!

❌F*cks about external stress
☮️Vibing with Inner Peace

I know there is a lot to be stressed about!

The Sh*take is REAL out there. We are living through an incredibly tense, divided time.

I think the greatest service to humanity is taking care of yourself 1st.

Where is the stress being held in your body?

When you resolve your inner tension, stress, and division - this has a ripple effect out in the collective.

The only way to create peace & harmony in the world is to create it in yourself 1st 🧘🏻☮️✅

Slay your Stress so you can get back to Shining & Serving & Showing Up as the Awesome You-est You!

My happy place is in service. Helping others is my calling, my life purpose is a Healer

Healer is a label I strayed from in the past. Why?

Because how could I help people heal when I was still struggling?

And then one day it dawned on me that all my health challenges have been a gift 🎁

I’ve been there. I know what it feels like to be frustrated. To feel cursed. To feel like your body is out of control...

Your body is actually trying to help you, to wake you up, to show you what is out of alignment...

So that you slow down, rest, and learn how to really take care of yourself. To resolve stuck patterns and ways of being that are no longer serving you.

There is not one sized fits all when it comes to healing. Sometimes it does suck, it is hard. I know, I’ve been there, in the dark, in pain, exhausted, and frustrated.

I’m here to help you make sense of it all. To provide a safe space. It’s important to be honest about how you really feel, and make that ok.

And to know that it’s possible to feel better again. It truly is POSSIBLE! No matter the diagnosis, symptom, or challenge...

I’m here to help. Send me a DM & let’s set up a time to chat.

If you have an ache, a pain, feeling stagnant & stuck... let’s get you back into Flow & feeling Good! You deserve it!
