Spirit and Soul Therapies - Erica

Greetings and Welcome!

Never feel too small or powerless to make a difference.

~Anita Roddick, entrepreneur

PERSONAL BACKGROUND

I grew up in a small rural community, but have lived in Wichita, Kansas for over 30 years. I love the convenience of living in a larger city, but I’m still a small town girl.

The eldest of seven girls, I grew up with a keen protective instinct. This applies to my friends, family, employees, animals and most certainly my clients. You will be compassionately respected, and fully supported as we work together.

My journey has been a long, winding path, with lots of bumps along the way. My life has often been an example of what not to do. That being said, my past has provided me with many different types of life experiences. I strongly believe these experiences are what allow me to better empathize and help others.

My professional background is in the technology field. After multiple buy-outs, takeovers and layoffs, I decided to pursue my true passion of helping people, instead of returning to another corporate job.

It’s a pleasure to meet you and I so look forward to helping you on your own personal journey.

Never feel too small or powerless to make a difference.

PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND

My professional background is in the technology field. After almost 30 years and multiple buy-outs, takeovers and layoffs, I decided not to seek out another corporate job.

Throughout my entire corporate career I voraciously studied alternative health therapies. Instead of returning to the corporate world after my last layoff, I made the decision to pursue my true passion of helping people and animals.

If you are curious about the modalities I’ve studied please see below. Not all these therapies are listed on my on-line booking page but are available. If you have any questions, or would like to schedule a therapy that is not listed, please schedule a free consultation.

Please note, I am not a licensed therapist, doctor, or veterinarian and the services I offer are not a substitute for care from your family doctor or vet. However, the services and products provided work wonderfully to complement regular medical or veterinary care without interfering in their effectiveness.
