Hi, I'm Erin.

I have devoted the rest of my life to advocating mindfulness as a way of life. ​And I'd like to share with you why.

Before mindfulness, I never knew how to take care of myself.

I spent almost a decade dabbling in corporate work.
​
I worked very hard, but never understood why I was doing it. 
​
I constantly burned out, fell sick every few weeks, and took forever to recover each time. 
​
I lived carelessly, and indulged in self-destructive behaviours.

At the brink of a breakdown

​A friend encouraged me to try "one of those meditation retreats".
​
So I googled "meditation retreat near me", and checked myself into a camp in Taiwan.
​
I surrendered my phone, and for ten days I only meditated, slept and ate the bare minimum.

Most of the time was spent in stillness. All the time I was silent.

Ten days later, I emerged from the cave feeling renewed.

I thought my life had completely transformed. 

​I could not have been more wrong.
​​
That very night I went to a bar and got myself drunk.
​
That very week I reverted to old habits and patterns.
​
That very month I became tired and unhappy again.

It took me some time to get it.

​There is no quick fix to being well. 
​
It's a lifelong commitment.
​
We fall back onto old paths because we forget.
​
We get comfortable with pain that feels familiar, even when it doesn't serve us.
​
We need to check in with ourselves more often.

We need to constantly remind ourselves to be well, and do our best to stay well.

So here I am today.

I am work in progress.

I do my best to share what I know, and teach what I practice.

And I hope every one of us has the chance to learn to live more simply, healthily, and wisely.

​May we all shine with happiness.
