Her intention is to help the clients discover their own stories, strengthen interpersonal relationships and cultivate meaning in their lives. Erin uses an integrated, trauma-informed approach that is unique to each client. Erin draws from acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), narrative therapy, internal family systems (IFS), attachment and emotionally focused theories, forward facing trauma therapy (FFTT), and practices for emotional regulation and regulation of the nervous system. Erin is particularly interested in trauma and somatic practices where movement and the body are integrated into the practice. Erin plans on continuing education in this field.
Over the years Erin has expanded her scope of education by taking additional courses in different modalities and techniques including trigger point therapy, active release, peripheral nerve facilitation, myofascial release, Thai yoga massage, mindfulness and many more. Erin has also recently become a certified yoga instructor. Erin draws from all of her education and experience to treat her clients and to give them the best, most effective massage experience she can.
Erin has a lust for life and happiness. She loves spending time with her family, exploring the outdoors, health & fitness, good food, music and the arts.
Whether it is physical or mental stress, anxiety, trouble sleeping, headaches, injury due to accident, trauma, sports injuries or simply part of a good self-care program, Erin can help!

“It is about connecting the mind, the body and the spirit, a lot of people do not live in that harmony and don’t understand or listen to what their body is trying to tell them. Very often pain is coming from much more than a physical injury or tension. Once we are aware of our body and it’s subtle messages we can figure out where the pain is coming from, or better yet prevent it from starting. We are also more capable of handling stress both physically and mentally and we can enjoy our lives in a balanced way.” ~ Beth

Registered Massage Therapist
Caroline is delighted to be back in Moncton after a rich eight-year adventure in Toronto where she graduated in Massage Therapy at Kikkawa College. She also had the honour to study with renowned teachers of different walks of life and explore a wide range of modalities to help support her understanding of health. Her journey in the profession started with a College diploma in Physical Rehabilitation acquired in Sherbrooke, Qc in 1999. Then her lifestyle in extreme sports and dance led her to some injuries that gave her a personal exploration of the body’s fragile yet resilient ecosystem. She also got to deepen her curiosity about the human condition by graduating from a BA with honours in Psychology here at UdeM in 2011.
Caroline’s approach navigates between different philosophies of treatment and is centred in the belief that everything is interconnected. She is an apprentice in a rare form of Lomi Lomi (Hawaiian massage). She specializes in Swedish and Thai massage, and enjoys integrating aspects of Myofascial work, Reflexology, Sports and Indie Head Massage in her sessions. She loves working with the elements of energy, fluidity, movement, rhythm and texture to co-create a tailored harmonious massage with her client. She believes in the tremendous benefits of developing abilities to listen to our body and raising our body awareness. She finds it can be extremely helpful for preventing injuries and recognizing when and where to seek out for support.

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. (Reiki.org)

Walk & Talk Counselling Session
Choose a 60 or 90 minute option and Erin will meet you at Centennial Park, rain, snow or shine, and do a session while walking along the trails. Walking in outdoor spaces reduces amygdala activation and helps your brain to realize you are not in immediate threat. This can help drastically with feelings of anxiousness, distress and worry! Deep breathing and long exhales resulting from movement calm the nervous system and help reduce stress symptoms and feelings of overwhelm. Pretty cool, eh!?
60 minute sessions are $150 + HST
