Meet Erica
Hi. I’m Erica. I teach people to live more holistic, meaningful lives. I am trained as a Naturopathic Doctor, Nurse Practitioner, Reiki Master, massage therapist, and vinyasa and kundalini yoga instructor. I have extensive training and experience in both conventional and alternative approaches to healing and have studied with masters from various traditions around the world. I am an expert in holistic healing and my approach is one of a kind.
With a strong commitment to providing accessible holistic care, I began practicing at One Medical Group in San Francisco in 2011. Over the next 8 years, in addition to my clinical practice I took on many different roles to promote integrative and lifestyle medicine within the organization. I designed wellness content for corporate partners and have delivered presentations and workshops at dozens of prominent companies in the San Francisco Bay Area. In 2015, I served as the interim clinical director of integrative medicine at One Medical nationally.
In 2013 I began seeing patients in groups, and the profound therapeutic impact of group work changed my career. Since then I have facilitated countless transformational groups, scaled stress and anxiety programs nationally, created emotional wellbeing programs, and trained many healthcare providers and wellness coaches in mind-body techniques and group facilitation.
In 2018, I left the medical paradigm because the paradigm and structure itself was limiting my ability to help people. I no longer diagnose medical conditions- rather, I help people heal in whatever way they need to to live their fullest, most authentic lives.
My passion for health and wellness began very young. By 19 years old, I was a certified Reiki master offering energy work to other college students. I studied anthropology and pre-med at Oberlin College, and spent my undergraduate years studying the intersection of culture and health. I traveled all over the world exploring how people in other cultures heal. Prior to my medical career, I practiced and taught massage therapy and energy work, and began studying yoga and meditation as a teenager. All of these perspectives inform my work.
Working with me is not like working with a healthcare provider or a typical wellness coach. I offer a uniquely holistic lens and a variety of therapeutic tools to help you become more self aware and resourced. We work in partnership and our interactions are not limited to times of physical discomfort or emotional pain. Together we redefine what wellbeing means to you and we address the physical, mental, emotional and energetic obstacles in your way.
My current offerings are an authentic expression of my work. It is a new paradigm of care- one where your health and your life are not separate. It is a holistic experience, where you heal, grow, gain new perspective, transcend limiting beliefs about yourself and your life and discover the creator that you are. I truly believe that everyone has the ability to thrive, and when we are all in this state our collective potential is infinite.
