The Philosophy

In 2018, Erica left the problem-based medical paradigm to practice in integrity with her holistic philosophy. From Erica’s perspective, wellbeing consists of four quadrants: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. In order to create the kind of radiant health that impacts our lives, we must address all four of these quadrants. She views health as a dynamic continuum that ranges from dis-ease, to a vibrant state of wellbeing that inspires every area of life, including relationships, careers and communities. Her holistic methodology can be applied regardless of where you are on this continuum. In modern western culture, we are accustomed to compartmentalizing these areas of health, overemphasizing the physical and seeing different types of practitioners to address each quadrant. Erica is committed to addressing all four of these areas.

Most of us are familiar with the physical aspects of health because these are the things we can see and feel in our bodies. Some of us have also explored limiting thought patterns of the mind (mental), and the impact of our feelings (emotional) on our health as well. The relationship between the physical and mental quadrants of health is what we typically refer to as the “mind-body” connection. Understanding the relationship between mind and body, as well as the impact of our emotions (the product of chemical messengers binding to receptors) is foundational to Erica’s work. The spiritual aspects of health help us to understand why we are experiencing what we are experiencing so we can apply it to our lives. Exploring the self spiritually can provide profound meaning in all four quadrants during challenging times. In Erica’s practice, she applies the symbolic lens of the seven energy centers, or chakras to the spiritual quadrant of health. The chakra system is a framework for understanding why we are where we are on the continuum of health, how we got there and what the obstacles are to moving forward- regardless of whether forward motion means physical healing, finding true love or growing a business.

Erica’s philosophy is uniquely well suited for those committed to personal growth and self understanding. She believes this path is universally transformative.
