artist embodied
There’s a space within where the waters of your body, our Earth & your inner artist all collide. Meet me there.
Imagine with me, Love.
A world in which your body is your greatest ally. Your visions & your art spinning from this place. Your belief in the wisdom and magic of the natural world, the guideposts of your communities. So connected to the web between us all, that we start to spin a new world out of our gold.
For so long, I thought my body & my artist were separate. My body something to manage. My art something I had to conjure up & ‘produce.’
Until I started to learn my womb as the holder of possibility, my artist in her honey center.
Your art as the tapestry of your whole life— ready to feed & revive you. To ripple from there.

Here body & art collide
Here body & art collide
Hi Love, I’m Erica. When my womb called me back home nearly a decade ago, it was no coincidence that my art, my expression & the vision I held for my whole Life started to shift as well.
What started out as a surge of inspiration to write again turned into the stark remembrance of the power & voice I had. An innate ability to create.
Not all alone. Not through force and hustle.
But through turning towards my body. My womb. Discovering a range and a medicine that was entirely my own.
Seeing how turning towards my body could radically change the relationship I had with her— the symptom expressions I had been feeling at the time, numbness, disconnection, pelvic pain.
How this might birth a faith in the world that I can’t always see.
And how Life was beckoning me to create with her from that place. The deeper place. The interconnected one. My own craft.
In my decade-experience as a hands-on therapist, I have seen how our artist can get so lost in pathology and pain. The spirit dampened in our health & healing. I have seen how we can feel so tired.
And yet— your inner artist may be the missing piece in all of it. The X-ray vision she has for the things not yet here. Her unstoppable nature and unfathomable heart.
She has a lot to say. And she’s giddy to create with you.
In body. Embodied. In womb.

✺ Frequently asked questions ✺
-
Beautiful. Let’s just start. Imagine these practices not as something you’re ‘doing to’ yourself but something you’re ‘doing with’ you. That means you get to follow your own pace, bodily cues, and yes and no. Part of this container is meant to deepen in your own literacy of how your body wants to be met. To provide you with a whole menu of options to do that. If you’ve never done this before, imagine you’re starting a whole other level of conversation with your body now.
-
All of these practices are meant to increase your bodily awareness on a more global scale, connect you to your inner artist— AND, meant to deliver real physiological benefit in working with the fascia and general matrix of your nervous system. Working with our breasts, bellies & pelvic tissue can decrease congestion, inflammation, numbness, scar tissue— all major players in common ‘diagnoses’ or symptoms. You will likely start to see a shift in symptom expression, as well as how you relate to these as a whole.
-
All calls will be held Tuesday evenings, 7:00-8:30p edt & 4:00-5:30p pdt. Our calls will be Tuesday, August 5; August 12; August 19; August 26.
The integration call will be scheduled for the end of September, likely September 23.
-
Each weekly class will be 2 hours, and then you choose how much time to devote in the interim. You will be given invitations to play with— in body and within your art/expression but you can’t ‘fall behind’; these will be offered as practices you come back to long after the container is over.
-
Yes, all calls will be recorded, though you are encouraged to make the Live to receive the full expression of the group. The recordings will be available to download for 3 cycles after our course completes.
-
I am offering 2 partial scholarships (50% off) this round; reach out if this would be helpful for you. I am also offering a payment plan for the regular pricing ($202 to be paid over 2 months).
-
The more you come into your body, the more your creative expression (or ‘inner artist’) will start to emerge. You will also be given the opportunity to consider a particular project, life transition, or intention in our time together — and to work with this alongside your bodywork as its own craft. To start to trust your whole life as your art, even in the moments you can’t fully feel it.
