About Erica
With a B.S. in psychology I began my career counseling at-risk youth before discovering the world of bodywork. Active in nature and curious about the physical expression of self, I was drawn to the field of massage therapy wherein the body is asked and encouraged to promote self healing through the magnificent medium of touch.
I graduated from Sr. Rosalind's School of Professional Massage in St. Paul, MN in 2000. After graduating I served as on-site
therapist for the University of Minnesota women's athletic teams before relocating to Boulder, CO, in 2001 to pursue continuing
education opportunities and
to enjoy life in the beautiful Rocky Mountains.
In Boulder my practice broadened to include not only professional athletes, but a diverse clientele ranging in everything from age to physical ability. The work I did blended a variety of modalities including Swedish, Sports, Trigger Point Therapy & Connective Tissue Massage. Although my clients were benefiting from my work and seemed pleased with the results, I felt there was even greater potential for them. I wanted to offer something that extended beyond merely treating symptoms or chasing pain from one part of the body only to see it resurface in another. Eager for the larger picture, I completed study in Dr. Ida P Rolf's method of Structural Integration in 2004 and have been practicing this transformative work ever since.
Outside of work I enjoy exploring foreign territories and cultures, music and various forms of movement including cycling, skateskiing, running, climbing, dancing and yoga.
