Hi I'm Erin, owner of Flourish, teacher and wellness practitioner. I've always been curious about the deeper layers of people and am a lifelong learner of Eastern and Western philosophies. As a previous psychology graduate, Youthline counsellor, mental health and human resources worker, I help people feel safe and supported through every season of life. 

I am an IYTA diploma qualified and Yoga Alliance accredited, trauma-informed Yoga Teacher with certification in Polarity Therapy from Nature Care College in Sydney. I've been practising yoga since my teen years and teaching yoga for the past 23 years, layering in other trainings such as Mat Pilates, Barre and Breathwork Facilitation. I love weaving together my unique blend of intuitive movement, breath, sound, touch, and meditative states to enable people to go within and experience the power of presence.

Nourishing and transformative personalised bodywork sessions are also available. Learn more about 1:1 compassionate care below:

Now in my 52nd year, I have navigated intense periods of change in my life and used this as the catalyst for Midlife Awakening, to support women in finding their way back to themselves with renewed hope and spark for living. Please contact Erin at hello@flourishwellnessnz.co.nz/ph 021 474 754 to enquire about individual coaching or the next course.

And after being diagnosed with double hip osteoarthritis, I needed to slow down and adapt, moving in ways that support my body as it is now. Holding space for others has been my life's work but like so many women, I had quietly forgotten to practice self-care myself. This diagnosis helped me remember. It’s a different kind of body wisdom, one I feel called to share through all my teachings.

A proud mother of 3 teenagers, I am at home in the kitchen and in the water, particularly enjoying immersing myself in the wild waves of Raglan.
