Erica has personally experienced the many challenges of caregiving for her brother, who has bipolar schizoaffective disorder, and her late father-in-law, who had dementia. She witnessed firsthand the "invisibility” of the person within the conventional healthcare system and society when diagnosed with certain conditions. Her passion for helping others to live purposefully and holistically
through life’s natural and complex transitions was born through these experiences. She serves each person with the understanding that they are a unique individual with unique needs and experiences. Her philosophy is one of compassion and humility combined with humanistic and contemplative approaches to improving the lives of individuals and communities.
