“The number one block to self-compassion is when business leaders think self-compassion will undermine employee motivation,They don’t realize that the fierce side of self-compassion is a more effective motivator than self-criticism. The more we can accept ourselves, the more able we are to change and take risks and the less anxious we are about failure.”

Testimonials

  • Brenda K, Vancouver BC

    “I **highly** recommend taking “Visual Goal Setting: A Mindful Approach” workshop! [Erin] has a very approachable, down-to-earth style, and created such a welcoming environment that engendered others in the group to really dig deep and openly share with the group, all within a safe, confidential environment. It really helped me, personally, to develop a better understanding of the obstacles standing in the way of achieving my own goals.

    [The workshop] helped to dislodge me from my “stuckness” (I just made that word up but it fits the situation!)

  • Jamie Utt-Schumacher, Diversity and Equity Consultant

    Erin’s work is transformational.

    I went into her workshop unsure of what to expect, and an hour later I found myself breathing into her healing with tears in my eyes, thankful for her careful guidance into vulnerability.

    Her training and coaching skills have led me to try and figure out how I can get my organization to hire her for our whole team!

  • Sarah p, Employer Engagement Manager at Open Door Group

    Erin exudes light and positivity. She is a patient, thoughtful and inspiring soul that brings creativity and passion to her work. She is a powerful mindfulness coach who helped my team make significant changes in how they approach their work and provided the tools they needed to be resilient and productive during times of uncertainty.

    I would recommend her services to any organization looking to support its workforce in a meaningful way while still focusing on productivity.

  • Aydin Smith, Manger of Employment Services, WorkBC Centre Surrey - Guildford

    Erin conducted a great workshop for the staff at our office. She covered a range of topics including prioritizing wellness, dealing with change, and staying present. Erin’s passion for this area really comes through and creates a light environment where people can learn and share. I’ve also seen the positive impact Erin has had in her work with job seekers that have survived violence, and feel confident in her ability to connect with people from any background
