During her 13+ years of serving in the medical field, Erika founded her unique approach of Needs-Based Medicine, which sees through the perspective that the human body and psyche is out of balance, it is either not getting enough of what it needs, or too much of what it doesn’t need. This has helped thousands of people over the years come to a place of potential and vitality that they did not know possible… herself included. Erika is now bringing this expertise and wisdom into organizations and teams that are looking to go from surviving to thriving, all through capitalizing on the well-being potential of their leaders and people.
