Student's
experience
I liked Erika so much as a person I decided to go to her Mexico retreat in 2022. I remember being unsure of what was going to take place but it was awesome. Flash forward 2023, Erika announced she was having a retreat in in Guatemala. I didn't think twice about signing up and was excited that I was able to have another amazing experience with Erika.
Erika planned a fantastic week of yoga/coaching and cultural ceremonies.
I left the retreat with a calm feeling in my body and mind.

This retreat isn’t just about healing;
it’s about empowering you to become your own healer.
Since 2015, I have hosted a handful of yoga retreats in the US, Mexico and Guatemala. My retreats are a mix of my yoga and self-massage teaching, my trauma-informed somatic coaching and my love of ritual and shamanism. My focus is always the same; body-based healing and empowerement. I help you let go of overwhelm and stress by learning to manage your thoughts, feel your feelings and heal your nervous system through mind-body-spirit practices.
I'm living proof of the power of self-healing as I have grown and worked through eating disorders, chronic illness, addiction, mental illness, and childhood trauma.
I invite you to get on an awareness, compassion, embodiment, and transformational journey with me.
I’ve been leading retreats designed to help others reconnect with themselves and the healing power of nature since 2018. My retreats weave together my 15 years of experience as a yoga teacher, my passion for outdoors and herbalism, and my love for creating nurturing spaces where people can relax, restore, and come home to their highest potential within.
As someone who has used yoga and mindfulness to navigate and heal from life’s challenges—ranging from physical injuries to emotional trauma—I bring a grounded, compassionate approach to retreat leadership. My classes and workshops are infused with the wisdom of my mentors, the transformative lessons of life, and my deep connection to the earth.
I invite you to step into a space of self-care and growth where your practices become tools for empowerment. Together, through yoga practices, connection to nature, and herbal wisdom, we’ll create a sanctuary for renewal and transformation.
I’m deeply honored to co-lead this magical Sedona retreat with Erika, blending our unique approaches to create an unforgettable journey of healing, transformation, and embodiment.

“ Nothing short of life-changing
I am profoundly grateful for her guidance, wisdom, and unwavering support, and I wholeheartedly recommend her retreats to anyone seeking profound transformation and spiritual growth. Thank you, Erika, for leading with such grace and compassion. Erika facilitated a supportive and nurturing environment where I felt safe to connect with others who, like me, are on a journey of growth and self-discovery. The structure of the retreat was impeccably planned, allowing ample time for both personal reflection and communal sharing. Erika's unique style of teaching resonated with me deeply, and in just a few months, I witnessed remarkable transformations within myself. It's incredible to think that her guidance and support have made as much of a difference in my life as three years of therapy and recovery programs."

"A truly amazing experience
Erika is such a gifted yoga teacher and empath. Her space is always inviting, with a peaceful and supportive atmosphere. This retreat was held in a beautiful area of Guatemala at Lake Atitlan, surrounded by nature and tranquility. The food was absolutely divine. But it was Erika who stole my heart. She is organized and ready to start the day with her sweet energy. channels through her late mornings by holding individual space yet surrounded by a loving group of people and guides you through somatic coaching with mental clarity and toxic energy release. A truly amazing experience. With a great group of people Erika held space for us to heal and move forward with tools that guide us through every day life. Thank you Erika! You are by far my favorite teacher and I will definitely join in on another retreat in the future.
Beth Toomey, guatemala 2024
“ Erika puts on an incredible yoga retreat!
Student's
experience
She is really in tune with the needs of the group and makes sure that everyone has a positive experience. I can't say enough great things about this experience and I can't wait to do it again! "
"I highly recommend going on one of Erika's retreats.
She makes each person feel seen, heard and validated. She is able to meet individual as well as group needs. Erika is also a genuine, down to earth person; and yet, she has a wealth of knowledge, experience and expertise that she willingly imparts to everyone. I just can't believe how much she knows and her strong intuitive sense, which are crucial elements to being a dynamic teacher and healer. I have been in many kinds of therapy, for many years, and have experienced a variety of healing modalities; but the way Erika presents, practices and works is unique and special. I feel so fortunate to know and work with her. And, she is a fun person too!
