About this episode

Erin discusses the five stages of healing and the patterns clients experience in reclaiming their vitality.

Transcending chronic symptoms, reclaiming your vitality, and no longer making your health your whole personality? That’s exactly what this episode is about. Erin is breaking down the five stages of healing, and the EXACT patterns her clients go through before they feel free in their bodies.
