​About Erika

Erika is a holistic healing practitioner, educator, and guide with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals through integrative wellness, classical yoga, energy medicine, and trauma-informed practices. Her work is rooted in compassion, presence, and practical tools that help people reconnect with themselves, regulate their nervous systems, and live with greater clarity and ease.

She is a Quantum Human Design Level 4 Coach, Usui & Holy Fire Reiki Master Teacher, Yoga Nidra specialist, and a licensed acupuncturist (retired from hands-on practice). Drawing from both ancient wisdom traditions and modern somatic approaches, Erika offers personalized guidance that supports healing, alignment, and sustainable growth.

Her background includes extensive training in Yoga Nidra, pranayama, meditation, mantra, Reiki, somatic therapy, and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Erika studied classical yoga through the Bihar School of Yoga and completed residential ashram study and seva in India, New Zealand, and Canada—experiences that deeply shaped her holistic, lifestyle-based approach to well-being.

From 2005 to 2022, Erika practiced acupuncture and Oriental medicine with a focus on internal medicine, women’s health, chronic illness, and trauma-informed care, including clinical training in Shanghai, China. Today, her work centers on coaching, teaching, writing, workshops, retreats, and distance healing, supporting clients around the world.

Erika’s approach integrates nervous system regulation, energy healing, Human Design, seasonal and cyclical living, aromatherapy, mindfulness, and compassionate self-inquiry. She is especially passionate about helping sensitive and intuitive individuals feel more grounded, resourced, and empowered in their lives.

She is the author of The Alchemy of Wellness (2025) and the creator of its paired App, ongoing workshops and programs exploring Yoga Nidra, emotional balance, and purposeful living. Whether through one-on-one sessions, group offerings, or written teachings, Erika’s intention is to create a safe, nurturing space for rest, insight, joy and meaningful transformation centered in universal Love.
