Yogassage

Based on the methods of Thai Massage, Barefoot Shiatsu and Yoga, Yogassage is a blend of passive yoga stretches and massage techniques. It is sometimes referred to as the ultimate lazy and simple way of experiencing all of the benefits of yoga and more - because you relax while your therapist does most of the work, using hands, feet, forearms, elbows and thumbs to massage, press, pull, squeeze and twist the body into what is, in essence, applied yoga.


Here's what some of Erica's clients had to say about their experience:

  1. • "Wow, it was like a combination of massage, yoga, energy work and chiropractic. I felt energized!"

  2. • "I feel like my body has been realigned."

  3. • "Wow, it wasn't what I was expecting - It was incredible!"

  4. • "Amazing! She got right to my trouble spot and released it!!"

The Search For The Authentic Self
Virtual Coaching Program

Erica’s life coaching career spans over a decade, working with individuals and teaching workshops and seminars to groups of people - from the homeless, abused and addicted to doctors, lawyers and CEO’s of successful organizations. Regardless of who she is working with and what their primary complaints are, it almost always boils down to one or more areas in their lives in which they feel stuck…stuck in an old way of thinking that no longer serves them, stuck in an old belief they have about themselves, or stuck in a place of anger and resentment toward someone or something that they just can’t let go of and move on from.


Now, from the comfort of your own home, you can participate in Erica’s 12-week personal development program, THE SEARCH FOR THE AUTHENTIC SELF.  Every week you will receive a chapter from Erica’s soon-to-be-released book, and join Erica and a small group of others on a coaching call to explore, in much more depth, the concepts introduced.  For years Erica has worked with small groups because she has found it to be exponentially more powerful when the experience is shared with others on a similar journey.  Often participants find themselves facing a fear of self-disclosure, or have difficulty committing an entire weekend away from their family.  The weekly calls provides enough anonymity to allow for even more open sharing and discussion, and makes it available to those that would not otherwise be able to participate.  Each call will include coaching from Erica, while leaving room for each participant to ask questions and share their experiences.  More often than not, even if you aren’t yet ready to state a fear or ask a question, somebody else in the group ends up sharing the exact same one.  In addition, there will be weekly exercises and journal assignments to help you integrate what you are discovering about yourself and your place in this world into your daily life, taking it beyond a mere intellectual concept. 


This is a transformational, empowering program that is now being made available to you in the comfort of your own home or office.

Hypnotherapy

As children our subconscious minds are wide open for influencing by the outside world. Our filter of what we see, hear and interpret about incoming messages doesn’t start to develop until between the ages of about 7 to 11, and by the age of 15 that filter is pretty firmly in place.  This means that the most casual, seemingly harmless statements made by others, or negative interpretations made by us to otherwise meaningless events can, under the right circumstances, leave us imbedded with erroneous programming that can limit us for the rest of our lives.  If the incoming messages we received were always empowering, encouraging and served to help us expand, this would not be a bad thing.  But often we grow up exposed to the limiting belief systems of others – be it teachers, religious leaders, neighbors, family members and even the media - that are outdated, disempowering and even harmful. 


Once programmed with a belief, it often doesn’t matter what you tell the conscious mind; if the subconscious mind is not in agreement, the new thought is rejected.  This is why many of us find it so challenging to change habits and outdated thought patterns.  If, for example, you adopted a belief early on that you are “fat”, you may think and act like a “fat” person, and forever see your life through that filter. 


According to A Course in Miracles, “There are no idle thoughts.  All thoughts have creative power.”  Which is why “all healing is mental healing.” Since we are always creating our reality based on our thoughts, cleaning out programming that no longer serves us is an integral part of any program of personal growth and healing. 


Apparently there are few ways to help reprogram the subconscious mind, and hypnosis is one of them.  If the client trusts the hypnotherapist, and is willing, together they can lull the conscious mind into such a relaxed, receptive state you can actually bypass the conscious mind and plant new seeds of thought.   Since every session takes you faster and deeper into hypnosis, it usually takes more than one, and maybe even several, to get the kind of results you are looking for.   


“Consciousness creates all,” says Masaru Emoto in his book The Hidden Messages in Water.  According to his documented research, water molecules arrange themselves in patterns according to the vibration of our thoughts.  High vibration thoughts of love and gratitude result in beautiful crystal formations, while lower vibration thoughts of anger and fear result in a more chaotic formation.  When you consider that our bodies are made of as much as 90% water, you have a compelling argument about the impact our thoughts have on our health.

“...the only limit to healing is how much of ourselves we are willing to give to the project.”     Deepak Chopra

The sense of lightness of being that comes form letting go - of the tension we unknowing hold onto in our bodies, of the restricting old tapes that we replay in our minds, and of the feelings that we have stuffed deep inside - is unlike anything that can be described in words. It must be felt. It must be experienced.
