Erin’s Philosophy

Erin will help you foster the mindset and skills you need to create long term changes in how you move and feel.

  • An intention of curiosity - where do I over-work/push? 

  • Patience - Habits take time to develop and therefore it will take time to notice and breakdown your current habits of movement and rebuild new ones that allow you to move with ease and feel good.

  • An open-mind and willingness to consider beyond what you currently think is possible.

  • Self-compassion - It isn’t easy to practice self-awareness. We are very good at judging what we find and quickly trying to correct it. If we want to change what our body is doing, we first have to be curious about what it is currently doing without judgement. 

  • Dedication - You are the most capable out of anyone to help yourself. Helping ourselves takes time and consistent attention.  

“Of all the many factors that healing and living a healthy life require, becoming an empowered individual is the most important. That’s also the most difficult.”

awareness

“Physical self-awareness is the first step in releasing the tyranny of the past.”

~ Dr. Bissel Van Der Kolk

As humans, we have a special ability to sense and regulate our bodies.

We may need to learn how to access that skill again in a safe and supported way.

All of us can use this skill of self-awareness to change how we feel and experience ease in the present moment.

choice

“Each one of us is the custodian of an inner world that we carry around with us.”  

~ John O’Donohue

With self-awareness of our habits in body and mind, we hold the power of choice. We can unwind the habits that aren’t useful and move forward creating new possibilities that better support us.

Ease

“Awareness has the capacity to heal.”

~ Deepak Chopra

Our body is our internal compass and it always aims to return us to balance and ease.

When we pay attention to how we move, we can begin to learn how hard we’ve been pushing because of imbalances in our body. Some muscle groups might overwork while others are not doing their job. With that understanding we can teach ourselves to move with less effort and figure out for ourselves what is just enough.
