She had a special bond with her brother and was very close to him The relationship with her mother was often strained and she remembered not having her around at sensitive times in her life like starting her period or having her first crush

She experienced sexual abuse by her mother’s partner at the time, but it wasn’t until her brother left for the military when she was 15 that her entire world took a shift He often served as her protector and confidant when dysfunction had taken up residency in her home So when he left, she felt his absence It was also at this tender age that she became pregnant and she spent much of those years with a heavy masculine energy that was also her defense mechanism

Erika would later find herself in one of the most toxic relationships she had ever experienced Of course, it didn’t start that way, but with time she grew more aware of his manipulative and narcissistic tactics, but by then, she was already pregnant with her 2nd child and had to stop working due to the high risk of her pregnancy Her depression was through the roof and she knew the core of her femininity was wounded She recalls the physical abuse she endured and the number of times he would choke her until she passed out, but it was in 2019 when she finally hit rock bottom

Her partner’s line of would lead to her home being raided by 60 cops one morning when she was 38 weeks pregnant with her son Over the next few months, she was evicted, her daughter was taken away, she was living out of a suitcase, and to top it off, she was being federally indicted with 7 charges

She had no idea how she was going to get her life back on track, but she knew she needed balance, ad it was the birth of her son that brought another shift in her life, but this time it was for healing Erika recalls the long journey of having to face herself in the mirror and work through the extreme guilt that had built up over the years, along with depression and PTSD Now that her son was here, she found her will to fight past the trauma

Erika found that every level of growth brought further healing and she was eventually able to reclaim her life She learned the importance of living in the present, balancing your feminine and masculine energy, and giving value and honor to your truth

She’s built her community of wellness and spiritual intuition from the years of pain she’s had to overcome, but she’s now helping others find their balance and healing through intensive work on the mind, spirit, and body Doing this has led to a better understanding of what her feminine and masculine energy brings to any situation and has also allowed her to reach more women along their journey

We stand for the woman who‘s lost her fight, for the woman starting over, for the woman who’s discovering herself all over again, and for the woman who never allows herself to give up That’s who Erika is, and we love her!
