Having spent her youth as a competitive tennis player and earning a top seat on the Harvard tennis team, Erika was accustomed to being young, healthy and strong.  After receiving her MBA from Babson College, she embarked on her career with the same gusto as she had her tennis.  By age 25,  she was working in the fast-paced Internet startup world.

Almost overnight, Erika went from being a young, healthy twenty-something, to living the life of someone with Crohns’ Disease.  After being diagnosed by her physician and referred to a top Crohns’ specialist at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston, she was told she was facing a lifetime of medication and disease management protocols.  As her doctor put it, “You’ll have your good times and your bad times, but get ready to deal with this for the rest of your life.” 

After two years of steroids and other anti-inflammatory medication, she met a natural health practitioner who opened the door to a new understanding of holistic health.  Through the application of the energetic properties of organic foods, herbs, supplements, and practice of energy balancing, Erika’s body was able to heal itself from this disease.   Today, she continues to be off all medications and has had seven healthy years without a single recurrence of the disease. 

It was because of that experience that Erika made a decision that would alter the course of her life – she chose to go back to school, became a Clinical Nutritionist, and began her wellness practice with the intention of helping others achieve optimal health.

Erika utilizes several modalities and tools with her clients, including a holistic approach to nutrition, herbs and supplements based on energetic needs, scientific muscle testing, and biofeedback.  Erika’s goal is to help her clients navigate through the vast amount of information available and to empower them to take charge of their own health.

Erika’s practice includes individual consultations, speaking engagements, teleclasses and group classes.  Erika earned her Clinical Nutrition degree from the Natural Healing Institute of Naturopathy.  She is a certified biofeedback technician and is continuing her educational pursuits with the College of International Holistic Studies.  She holds a BA from Harvard University, and an MBA from Babson College.
