Get to know your coach

Hi! I’m Erika. Growing up I was very big into sports. I played 3 sports in high-school, and went on to play softball in college. As you can imagine, physical fitness was always a big part of my life, and I have always felt a strong understanding and appreciation for my physical self. When I graduated college, I had a difficult time trying to establish a work/life balance that felt healthy to me. I noticed myself becoming burnt out, and in 2018 decided to shift my focus and went back to school to become a massage therapist. Through that training I became fascinated with the idea of holistic health, and realized that there are so many more factors that make up our well-being than I had ever considered. I wanted to learn as much as I could about it. In 2020 I got a job as a virtual health coach, and in 2021 I continued my education further by becoming certified through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition as a health coach. Everything came full circle for me when I realized I could coach people virtually around physical fitness and somatic intelligence, things that have always been my most natural strengths. I became a certified personal trainer in 2023 with the goal of helping women build confidence and feel healthier in all aspects of their lives. But I wasn’t done there! In December of 2023 I began a certification program in Body-Oriented Coaching from the Somatic School. This gave me the opportunity to dive deeper into listening to and understanding intuition through the mind-body connection. The training provided me invaluable skills in cultivating self-awareness and presence in my own life, as well as the ability to coach others who are seeking to do the same.
