Meet Erika

Welcome. I’m Erika and I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m a coach, a mentor, a mother, grandmother, a trauma survivor—and a woman who’s spent much of her life learning how to hold space for others without abandoning herself in the process.

My journey into this work didn’t start with a certification.
It started with life. Real, raw, beautiful, complicated life.

I’ve been through an abusive relationship.
I’ve raised three daughters—including one with special needs.
I’ve walked through grief, emotional exhaustion, and in 2016, a breast cancer diagnosis that changed everything.

But those aren’t just experiences to check off a list.
They’re chapters—ones that shaped me, stretched me, and ultimately helped me find my way back to myself.

And somewhere along the way, I realized: surviving isn’t the whole story.

For over 30 years, I’ve worked within the healthcare system—first as a Medical Office Assistant, and now as a coach supporting physicians and care teams across British Columbia.

That work has shaped how I hold space: grounded, steady, and deeply attuned to the invisible weight people carry. It’s taught me how to meet others with presence—especially when things are tender, complex, or heavy.

Alongside that, I coach women through personal transformation—bringing that same depth of care and reverence into every session. This isn’t a side path. It’s heart work. And it’s a calling I show up for fully.

I don’t show up as someone who has it all figured out.
I show up as someone who gets it. Who’s been there.
And who’s walking beside you with clarity, compassion, and deep respect for the invisible labor of healing.

So if you’re in a season of shift or struggle…
If you’re carrying more than anyone knows…
If something inside you is quietly asking for more—more space, more support, more truth—
I want you to know this:

You’re not too much.
You’re not too late.
And you don’t have to do it alone.

Let’s walk this next chapter together.

With love,
Erika

What I Bring to Our Work

When we work together, you’re met with care—not correction.

I’m a certified coach with a trauma-informed and empowerment-based approach. That means I move at your pace, honor your truth, and always hold space without judgment.

I’ve trained in somatic healing, helping you reconnect your body and mind in a way that feels safe and empowering.

I’m certified in Mental Health First Aid, which helps me recognize and gently respond to emotional distress with presence and skill.

And after decades in healthcare, I know what it’s like to care for others while quietly holding your own needs in the background.

I support women who are:

Burnt out and trying to hold it all together
Moving through caregiving, loss, or life transitions
Untangling old patterns of silence and self-sacrifice
Ready to come home to themselves—gently, fully, and without apology

Our work is a mix of practical tools, intuitive guidance, nervous system care, and deep reflection.
It’s not about fixing—it’s about unfolding.

This is a space where you can finally exhale.
Where you can be fully seen.
Where your healing gets to happen on your own terms.

And from there, something new can begin.
