Welcome!
Welcome, I’m so glad you are here. I’m Erin and the founder of Resilience Healing ✨. In addition to my background as a clinical psychologist, I also am an energy healing practitioner and now I am lucky enough to support ambitious women (just like you!) connect to their inner wisdom to create a life they truly love and are excited about. Since this is my first post here, I thought I'd share a bit about myself, my vision for the world (just the small stuff 😉) and how I got here so we can get to know each other a bit.
If you would have met me about 8 years ago- you would have seen someone that seemed to have it all- a doctorate degree in clinical psychology, a loving husband, a beautiful son, wonderful friends, and the *exact* career I had been working toward since high school. I’d traveled the world and achieved every goal I had gone after.
But underneath I felt disconnected, stressed out, and on the verge of burnout. I tried therapy, acupuncture, any and all self- care strategies, but wasn’t finding the relief I needed. I had the usual story in my mind- I was too busy. My life was pretty high stress before having my son, and when I became a mom, I learned what busy really felt like (anyone out there that can relate? 🙋🏻♀️ ).
On top of taking care of my family, I was taking care of everyone in my life. I was always there for my friends when they had a crisis (but never asked for help when I needed it myself). I was even taking care of my coworkers. I was working for a nonprofit agency, taking on all the tasks, stepping in for coworkers when projects weren’t done right. Ever hear that saying “If you want something done well, you have to do it yourself”? Yeah, that was me. I was taking care of EVERYONE. Everyone but myself.
Once I’d really decided I couldn’t take that feeling of being in constant fight-or-flight mode anymore, I started really delving into spiritual practices, studying meditation and energy work. Little by little, I began developing a practice to put ME first every day. To fill up my tank before I started siphoning off that energy to anyone else. 8 years later, these practices have become SACRED. And the best part? I get to share them through my business, Resilience Healing. The way I see my business is as a vehicle for me to bring my unique view into the world and help it become a better place. For such a long time I thought my purpose was my career or what I did. Now I know that those things are just an expression of my purpose. When I dug a bit deeper, I was able to pull all the threads together of my life experiences and values to get to my why, my vision for the best world and how I can contribute to it.
What I am truly passionate about is supporting a world in which women are actively unlearning all the “rules” and “information” that disempowers them. Because those rules and information become internalized as beliefs about the self that get so stuck and weigh us down and our Truth gets squashed down and so small, we don’t even notice it anymore.
All of this allows the current structures to continue- the ones that reinforce that we are less then, supposed to be small, not take up space, to stay small, quiet, obliging to others in order to be loved. To be clear, there is no “in order to be loved’ - you just are loved. Once you get to that truth, you find freedom. To be you, to live in what is true and real for you. Doesn’t that sound amazing?!?
My vision for the world is that every woman is fully connected to her Truth (inner knowing) and is empowered to live every day from this connected place so she feels free to be who she really is and to go after what she really wants, (not what she has been taught to want based on her position in society).
Your turn, what is your vision for the world?
Can’t wait to share more on this journey moving forward.
With Devotion,
