Hi, I’m erika:
I started in pediatric nursing because people said my energy fit there, but I soon realized that was only half the reason.
Children recover faster; they have more joy; they have more ease; they say what they want without hesitation and emote fully.
Why? Because their mindset is built that way - to see good even in the unideal.

As a Registered Nurse working the floor, I was good in a crisis, which meant I got very good at pushing past my body’s limits.
I skipped meals and powered through exhaustion, relying on coffee, power naps, and a “just get through it” attitude.
Eventually, my body stopped cooperating. I got diagnosed with a thyroid condition. I was tired all the time, gaining weight, and having anxiety.
So I did what I’d tell any patient to do: I fixed my diet, exercised, and tried to sleep more. It helped somewhat, but my day really changed when I learned about my deeper health. I dove into my mind, my beliefs, my motivations, and allowed myself to prioritize me.
In 6 months, I got my labs back into optimal range, even with the constraints of my busy life.
What really changed was learning to understand my emotions and my mind-body connection, which led me to dig deeper into the beliefs I'd built my identity on and the nervous system patterns.
That's the work I do with clients now, and it's why I left bedside nursing to build this practice.
What I bring to the table:I'm a Registered Nurse (BSN) with a Master of Health Administration, so the clinical side of your health- labs, symptoms, medical history- isn't a mystery to me.
I'm also a certified Integrated Health Coach, NLP Practitioner, Reiki Master, and Aromatherapy Specialist, which means we can Dive Into Your Beliefs and Behaviors.
Most health guidance stops at nutrition and movement. In my experience, that gets you about 70% of the way to feeling well. The other 30%, the part that actually makes it stick, comes from addressing the belief systems and nervous system patterns underneath. I built my practice around that missing 30%.

the healthE backbone:
-
Belief System
Our behaviors are rooted in our belief systems. We must take time to peel back the layers and understand the “why.”
-
Nutrition
Our minds and bodies are machines. What we fuel ourselves with directly affects how we feel and perform daily.
-
Mindset
Our body affects our mind, and our mind affects our body. We need to focus on both to achieve health and wellness.
-
Sleep
Sleep dramatically impacts our health and wellness. Quality sleep leads to rapid recovery, increased memory, and more.
-
Movement
Our bodies were meant to move. Half of Americans do not get enough movement throughout the day.
-
self-empowerment
You are in charge of your health and wellness. You have everything you need to succeed within you. It’s time to tune in.
