Erin aims to create a diverse group of wellness professionals who will provide transformative and meaningful offerings at Three Trees Wellness. Erin is also certified as a Health Coach from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, the nation’s largest nutrition school in NYC. She knows all healing begins with deep nutrition and movement.
