THE SEARCH FOR THE AUTHENTIC SELF
Erica has developed a 12-week Life Coaching program entitled The Search for the Authentic Self focusing on Self Awareness, Emotional Empowerment and Communication Skills. She has coached individuals and taught workshops to thousands of individuals over the last ten years, and has written dozens of articles on issues of personal empowerment and communication which have been published internationally. Erica is currently nearing completion on an accompanying book with the same name, The Search for the Authentic Self, scheduled for release later this year.
EMPATH YOGA - International Yoga Training
Erica created EMPATH YOGA when she brought together her personal development program The Search for the Authentic Self, and her background, training and education in yoga. Through Erica’s efforts, Empath Yoga has been recognized as a credible 200-hour yoga school through Yoga Alliance, and due to her background and foresight in applying to the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork, has been approved to offer continuing education credits to massage therapists in the U.S. who complete the Empath Yoga training.
Empath Yoga is the natural culmination of nearly a decade of Erica’s work and experience with individuals and groups throughout the world. The approach is simple: provide a safe space for clients and students to get in touch with their truth, to feel what they need to feel so they can come out on the other side of it, and support and empower them to make powerful choices in their lives. To that end, Erica has developed a uniquely artistic and beautiful yoga video entitled Yoga to Open the Heart, and a hypnotherapy CD entitled Hypnosis for Letting Go. More videos and hypnosis CDs are in development.
Erica began her work with the homeless over ten years ago, before expanding her services to include the abused and addicted, as well as the general public, and has since worked with people from all walks of life and from many different geographical locations around the world. In her work as a life coach she found that in order to experience lasting change, many of her clients needed a physical and emotional release in addition to an intellectual understanding of where they were stuck in their lives. In her yoga sessions, she discovered that as clients opened up their bodies they started asking questions about the emotions that were being released. In all cases, her clients sought greater self awareness and peace of mind.
Erica has used a unique combination of all of these tools to assist clients in removing the blocks to living successfully in today's world. She formerly owned and directed her own yoga studio in Orlando, Florida (Yoga for Transformation) where she offered yoga and personal development classes, as well as private yoga therapy, yogassage, hypnotherapy and life coaching to her clients. Now, Erica is an international yoga instructor and life coach, traveling throughout the world to educate and empower others to live authentic, compassionate, joyful lives. She has lead retreats and trainings in Costa Rica, the Philippines, and the U.S.
In a holistic approach to open the body, quiet the mind and soften the heart, Erica's yoga practice has evolved to include yoga, meditation, elements of hypnosis and life coaching. She now believes any effective lifestyle change must be approached from all of these angles.
