Hey Sis, I’m Erin… Soul Naked’s muse, Womb Witch, Feral Mama and Chief embodiment officer 😉
your body is your oracle. pleasure is the practice, not the reward. cue, culture shift!
Let me tell you a story…
I grew up fast & furious… I became a mom at 17. I had the family, the career, the life that looked right, but I was dying on the inside. Not loudly. More subtly. The way “good women” do.
I had mastered the art of being palatable. Swallowing my anger.
Downplaying my desires. Performing stability while something feral and alive in me was screaming to get out. I was a champ at holding it together, giving to everyone else and calling it “living”. My body, however, was calling it something else.
THIS could not be what I came here for. By the patriarchy’s standards- I was doing it everything perfectly and I “had it all”. Until I decided to blow it all up (not the family– but the job, the head down get it done, ignore your bodies cues lifestyle I was living).
Fast forward…
I found personal development and made that my next project… because that’s what high-functioning women do, we find a better way to “fix” ourselves. More optimized. More productive. More manifesting and achieving. More becoming a better version of ourselves.. Still never fulling coming home.
Until someone said: “Erin, I don’t think it’s what you’re doing. I think it’s who you’re being.” Cue the portal opening.
Shortly after, I walked into a somatic breathwork session with women I’d never met and something in me, that had been locked up for years, broke open. I will never forget the feeling of a gorilla sitting on my chest, my hands locked up and spirit whispering ” you can continue like this or you can let go”.
Then, my business coach at that time said you have to try this sensual movement class. I drove to Sedona that next Thursday morning and this class had me moving my hips, feeling sexually liberated, heat in my body, crying on my mat, and wondering why the hell I had spent so long living from the neck up.
Then there was womb work. Connecting to the core of my creative essence and realizing that I had spent years outsourcing both my power and my pleasure. And that
The rest is history…
I followed those threads all the way down. I decided to become a woman devoted to being deeply connected to my body and alive IN my own HUMAN EXPERIENCE.
My Credentials (the stuffy, but also important stuff…)
Two trauma-informed somatic breathwork certifications. Sensual somatic movement instructor through GYI. Somatic Womb work facilitator. Hypnotherapist and past life regression therapist. Reiki energy healer & Life coach. Studying through feminine mystery teaching and my own personal embodiment exploration. I’ve since held 1000’s of women between Rage rituals. Ceremony. Divine feminine retreats. Sensuality classes. Womb Work and more!
I am not telling you that miraculously everything in my life became perfect. That was really never the point. Life is rythmic, cyclical, imperfect and perfect in all of its complexities. I really never wanted to be a woman who got “it right”. What I did want was to be a woman who lived with passion, and purpose and felt pleasure radiating through my body.
Soul Naked Collective was born from that unbecoming, and from the million women I’ve met along the way who are done being the sanitized versions of themselves.
This work is sensual. It’s embodied. It touches the things women aren’t supposed to touch…rage, desire, grief, pleasure, wildness. It’s not for everyone.
But if some part of you recognized yourself in any of this… You’re already home.
Today I live outside Phoenix with my husband Keith, four kids, and three guinea pigs. I love nature, food, sunshine, sitting under the moon with a mocktail and a conversation with my spirit guides. I might live in the desert, but my soul is at home by the ocean. I wear crystals and fake lashes. I love flowy organic cotton and linen clothes, but I also love a good spray tan. I say f*ck regularly and enjoy laying in the sun nakeyyy.
I don’t fit in a box. I stopped trying to. And I built a space for women who are done trying too.
