You understand your patterns, but still find yourself reacting, shutting down, people-pleasing, or feeling stuck.

Through somatic breathwork and nervous system-informed practices, I support deep embodied transformation.

Hi, I’m Erica

I am a trauma-informed breathwork and somatic coach.

I know what it’s like to understand your patterns intellectually, yet still feel caught in them.

For years, I explored my own inner patterns and the ways they showed up in my life and relationships. Everything made sense, but nothing was changing.

The deeper shift began when I started exploring my relationship with the body. I realized many of the patterns I was trying to think my way out of were also held physically within me.

Over time, I came to understand that awareness alone wasn’t enough, change also needed to happen through the body.

Today, I share the practices that supported me in creating more resilience, self-awareness, and embodied change.

Smarana means remembrance — a remembering of what has always been beneath the patterns, protection, and noise.

Through breathwork and somatic practices, I offer grounded support for people wanting to move beyond intellectual understanding and into a more embodied experience of themselves.

    I booked several somatic breathwork sessions with Erica and it was a truly incredible experience. Words really can’t express what an impact it has had on me, and how surprised I was by the way I responded to it. I always came away feeling lighter, mentally clearer and relaxed. Erica really is the most caring and intuitive person, knows exactly what to do to help you through the whole process, and most importantly, makes you feel safe every step of the way. I’ve had three sessions and would recommend trying this if you feel called to do it, as each time was different and profound. Book a session and see for yourself.

    Erica introduced me to the practice of Breathwork in a series of private zoom sessions. Her patient, inviting energy immediately made me feel safe in my vulnerabilities and open to learning. Erica has helped me step further into my healing practice of self-care and I am very grateful for her beautiful, encouraging guidance.

    Last summer I was looking for an opportunity to join a retreat for some self work, which brought me to Erica. The retreat was a wonderful experience and I left lighter. I also learned a lot about myself and brought home new tools to integrate into my life. Since then, I worked with Erica multiple times, she designed a workshop for me and my sister, I booked breath-work sessions with her and will join for a retreat this November in Portugal. Her approach, her way of focusing on people and supporting them in their journey, sharing and applying her knowledge to them, is unique (I find) - and I am happy that I made the decision for the retreat last year and to keep coming Erica regularly.

    Working with Erica was next-level. I’ve done different healing practices before, but nothing hit quite like this. She knows how to tune in, guide you, and hold you through whatever comes up—no pressure, no judgment, just full presence. Every session was a little different, but always left me feeling clearer, calmer, and more grounded. Honestly, if you’re even a little curious, go for it. You won’t regret it.

    I was feeling anxious and a bit lost, and I came to Erica for breathwork without any prior experience. It was a really eye opening and truly helpful experience to navigate through the emotions and energy that has been accumulating inside your body. Erica guides you with compassion, patience and so so much love, more love than we usually give ourselves. I can only recommend this body experience, which is much more powerful than going to therapy for 15 years… if you hesitate, just try it and see what it does for you under the guidance of this beautiful soul.

    I attended a "Feel to Heal" workshop by Erica and was thrilled. Within three hours, she perfectly and engagingly combined theory, practice, and open questions. The workshop was transformative for me and deeply touched me. I truly admire how well and sensitively Erica was able to hold our space. I felt completely at ease and whole heartedly recommend her work.

    The somatic trauma informed breath work sessions with Erica are incredibly healing and transformative. Erica has an exceptional gift of holding space and making you feel so safe that whatever needs to be released, can be released. Integration post breath work session is something she emphasizes, which I found to be quite a game changer in my own process. I am incredibly grateful for her somatic trauma informed breath work sessions. Thank you Erica!đź’›
