My unique approach combines the biology of trauma, attachment theory and parts work to create a safe and supportive environment for your healing journey. Together, we'll explore the wisdom of your body, connect with young parts of yourself (inner child), and release the burdens that have held you back, allowing you to embrace your inherent worthiness and live a life that truly reflects your core values.

My own experience has been a transformative voyage of learning to tune into my body's wisdom and discovering powerful tools to calm and regulate my nervous system. This personal journey has informed my approach to coaching, which is deeply rooted in attachment theory.
I understand that our attachment styles play a significant role in shaping how we relate to others and ourselves. Many of us have been conditioned since childhood to suppress our feelings and emotions, which can lead to unpredictable emotional outbursts or health issues. By embracing our experiences, allowing ourselves to feel them fully, and receiving validation from our support network, we can process and release our emotions more effectively, moving towards a state of wholeness and balance.

Welcome! My name is Kimberly Erickson, and I'm a holistic trauma coach based in Deer River, Minnesota, where I live on a small farm. My personal journey of self-discovery and healing has led me to dedicate my life to helping others find balance, authenticity, and alignment in their lives.
Like many of us, I spent years disconnected from my body's wisdom, pushing through challenges and neglecting my own needs. It wasn't until 2019, after adopting two children from foster care, that I realized the importance of listening to my body and addressing the impact of chronic stress on my overall wellbeing.
Inspired by the groundbreaking book "The Body Keeps the Score" by Bessel van der Kolk, I delved into understanding how our experiences are held in our bodies and the profound effects they have on our biology and relationships.
Through my journey, I've discovered the power of calming our nervous system and cultivating a deep connection with our inner selves. As your coach, I'm here to guide and support you in exploring the wisdom of your body, understanding how attachment patterns impact your relationships, and embracing self-compassion for all parts of yourself.
As part of my commitment to providing comprehensive and effective support, I have had the privilege of teaching and mentoring in the Biology of Trauma Program under the guidance of Dr. Aimie Apigian. This experience has deepened my understanding of the critical role our biology plays in the healing process, as well as the importance of somatic (body-centered) approaches to achieving lasting harmony and balance within ourselves.
By integrating my knowledge of the biological and somatic aspects of trauma, I offer a unique and holistic approach to healing that addresses the root causes of imbalance and supports your journey towards authentic living and alignment. I believe that by addressing both the biological and somatic levels, we can create a solid foundation for lasting growth and transformation.
