Hi! I'm Erin Gerke

Natural Health Therapist, Licensed Massage Therapist and Yoga Instructor

My journey into natural health began around 2010, following personal health challenges that left me searching for answers and exploring approaches beyond the care I had initially received. Through my own experiences, I became curious about how traditional wellness practices, including homeopathy, aromatherapy, and nutrition, might support my well-being and that of my family.


Over the years, I’ve explored a variety of natural health approaches and developed a deep appreciation for the knowledge and practices that have been passed down through generations. These experiences inspired me to pursue professional training as a Natural Health Therapist through NITE (Naturopathic Institute of Therapies and Education) and Massage Therapy training at Blue Heron Academy.


Today, I teach classes and offer individual sessions to help others explore natural approaches to wellness in ways that are unique and personalized to them. My goal is to help you better understand the cues your body is giving you, so you can make informed decisions by learning to listen to and understand your body's needs.


When you come to work with me, we'll explore ways to help you better understand your body and support your well-being. My hope is that our work together gives you the knowledge and tools to care for yourself with greater confidence, so you can return for guidance when you need it while feeling more equipped to support your body's needs in everyday life.

Having devoted over a decade to the medical insurance sector, I have observed countless individuals trapped in a repetitive cycle. A health issue arises, prompting a doctor visit, resulting in a prescription that alleviates the immediate concern but introduces new complications. This repetitive pattern raises profound questions for me about the practice of symptom masking rather than identifying and addressing underlying causes.


Our bodies signal their needs daily, yet many of us have been conditioned to disregard these vital alerts. The pervasive sentiment expressed by some practitioners—that symptoms are merely imaginative or inconsequential—is all too familiar. Yet, it is my body, and I know when something is amiss. There is a compelling need for collaboration in understanding and addressing health concerns.


This realization inspired me to return to academia to pursue a path as a Naturopathic Doctor, I am currently certified as a Natural Health Therapist. In this capacity, while I do not diagnose conditions, I provide clients with informed recommendations based on natural remedies such as dietary adjustments and the therapeutic use of essential oils. My role is one of guidance; you undertake the journey, empowered by the knowledge and tools I offer.


The bodies ability to store traumas big and small creates room for disease.   Yoga, massage therapy and energetic bodywork all help the body release repetitive patterns.  Having one practitioner who understands wellness from the inside out offers a unique opportunity to explore the connection between body, mind, and overall health. My goal is to help you better understand your body, discover what supports your individual needs, and experience wellness on every level.
