Originally from Vancouver, Erica’s career in classical ballet and contemporary dance took her to the United States, Canada and Europe.
Erica’s interest in movement and the Feldenkrais Method® began while she was recovering from a debilitating injury. She trained in the Feldenkrais Method® with Myriam Pfeiffer and Paul Newton in Paris, France.
Erica completed her training in 2006 and has since taught movement workshops and Awareness Through Movement® classes to a variety of groups in
Norway, Belgium, Japan, the United States and Canada.
As a dancer in Belgium Erica had received Osteopathic treatment, which she found to be fascinating and beneficial.
Wishing to further her development in the manual therapy field Erica enrolled in the Canadian College of Osteopathy in Vancouver in 2011 and completed her studies and thesis in 2019. She was awarded the Coup de Coeur award for her thesis and experimental research on olfactory dysfunction.
Erica uses Functional Integration® lessons, the “hands-on” component of the Feldenkrais Method® to assist with dysfunction through pattern and movement redevelopment, awareness and education.
Erica uses a range of approaches in Osteopathic Manual Treatment from cranial sacral therapy and other techniques such as strain counter strain, muscle energy, mechanical link, visceral manipulation and fascial release to help people with dysfunction and pain.
