Hi, I'm Erin

With over 25 years of experience in community leadership, somatic practice, teaching, and trauma-responsive care, I am committed to helping people reconnect with belonging, embodiment, and inner safety. My work is grounded in the belief that healing grows through connection—within ourselves, with one another, and within our wider communities.

 

I have served in Unitarian Universalist ministry and as an adjunct professor at Grand View University, where I taught coursework on mindfulness, embodied experience, trauma, and the impact of oppression on the body. These roles shaped my ability to hold space with steadiness, respect, and compassion, particularly for those navigating complex life experiences.

 

In our sessions, my approach is gentle, relational, and highly collaborative. I move at your pace, beginning with what feels possible and accessible for you. I often integrate breath, grounding practices, mindful movement, and curious, non-judgmental exploration—always inviting you to stay connected to what feels supportive in your body. My goal is to create a space where you feel welcomed, seen, and safe enough to explore your experiences with honesty and care.

 

I also welcome people from all backgrounds, faiths, and belief systems—including those who do not identify with spirituality at all. If exploring spirituality feels meaningful to you, I’m comfortable holding that conversation. If it doesn’t, we simply won’t. My role is not to push beliefs or guide you toward any particular worldview, but to support you in the ways that feel most authentic and empowering for you.
