Hi, Iām Erin!
Before becoming a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) and a Restorative Wellness Practitioner (RWP, L1), I spent a decade as an Occupational Therapy Assistant, working primarily in pediatrics. Being an OT was a rewarding experience - I had the privilege to work with many families, each experience continuing to light my proverbial flame for knowledge in the world of health. But as my family grew, so did my specific passions. I have two beautiful children with my husband of thirteen years. It was through the eye-opening and complex health experiences with our children and myself that I became inspired to shift my growing passion for health and wellness into a career.
At the age of two, my son suffered from debilitating eczema and food allergies, all of which did not occur until after heavy use of antibiotics and fever-reducers. My daughter dealt with eczema and difficulty with bowel regularity from a young age. I experienced my own digestive and hormonal struggles from a young age. As I was doing my best to learn, research, and care for my children through their discomforts, it was becoming clear to me the veils, habits of comfort, and quick biases of modern-day medicine. Was I giving my children medicines because it was healing the root issue and, by default, its symptoms, or because it was a conveniently available "quick fix"? Did the pressures of doctors and the internet align with the rearing effects being expressed by my family?
Equally determined and sometimes a little discouraged, we walked the long marathon of healing, of balance. Through various diets and protocols, and searching to find practitioners that would work with children, I can now happily say that both my children are healthy, no longer suffering the consequences of organ and gut damage, and are now eczema-free!
In 2021, I began my training with the Nutritional Therapy Association to become certified as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner. Upon completion of this program in 2022, I went on to complete my Level 1 certification with Restorative Wellness Solutions. I then went on to earn my MBCE certification to run bloodwork and urinalysis labs. It is my greatest privilege and honor to have your trust and the opportunity to walk alongside you as we journey our way to wholeness and healing for you and your family's bodies.
