Hello

Hello ✺

Hi, I’m Erin.

Based on the beautiful Sunshine Coast, in South Queensland, Australia, I heartedly acknowledge the ancestors, elders and custodians of Kabi Kabi country on which I dwell.

My passion is to help people and projects create a more beautiful world by using living systems: for people dynamics, workflow, productivity, decision-making.

I do this as a certified developmental coach (with the Human Potential Institute), where my primary tools are mindfulness, presence, somatic embodiment, and powerful questions.

The deeper roots of my offerings extend into social permaculture and living adaptive systems. I believe humans are ecology, and when we meet humans with the nature intelligence our world is made of, we create something so precious and powerful.

It's a genuinely rich blessing for me to journey with you in these ways.

Nature wisdom and living systems are core inspiration for how I contribute to the world.

I figured out early on that humans need help to work in alignment with the intelligence of the natural world. And if we did, we could function more fully and thrive in the world.

My coaching practice has been a long-time coming. I knew it was on my path to channel my intuitive, astute, deep-listening heart towards individuals who value such rich relational spaces.

I’m here to help people honour, celebrate and serve our precious world. We all have our place. And we all have purpose. I’ll even go so far to say that we’re all magnificent, metaphysical, multidimensional beings of powerful creative capacity.

Holding ourselves - us, humans - in the responsibility of this is what helps us have rightful place in a living, intelligent world. It seems many of us are doing a great job at doing the complete opposite.

Since being a girl growing up the suburbs of Brisbane in the 80’s and 90’s, I have always been fascinated by nature spaces. I remember bushwalking in Cooloola National Park near K’gari /Fraser Island at about 7 years old, gazing up at the crowning canopy of the hoop pines. That’s where I first met nature as my spiritual practice.

I went on to study Environmental Engineering at Griffith University straight out of high-school. This was followed by a decade of travelling the world, figuring out the conventional path wasn’t for me, and finding my way closer to my heart’s calling.

Permaculture and astrology stepped in as strong teachers in my late-20’s. I went on to specialise in ‘social permaculture’ - the application of regenerative living design principles to people systems. This is where so much makes sense for me.

I have an ongoing 10 year mentor and collaborative relationship with permaculture pioneer and elder Robin Clayfield. She has supported me to learn and practice dynamic, participatory group facilitation and social permaculture design.

I am a consultant in sociocracy - a method for moving beyond top-down hierarchy in organisations, distributing power and leadership so all voices are heard within responsive and effective groups. I love helping impact-led organisations collaborate well together. I’m part of a small international cohort of consultants called The Sociocracy Consulting Group.

I am founder and facilitator of the Moon Rhythm Women’s Circle. We meet just before the new moon in soft, serene space where we learn about the incoming moon season and share in talking circle. This usually happens in Eumundi. Find out more here.

I support local communities, food systems, and economies. I’m part of a textured creative community of artists and makers who have life skills and know how to use them to inspire and compel. Plant medicines are an important part of how I live in full health and balance. I love to dance freely. I love a good mountain hike adventure. I love couchsurfing strangers’ couches in far-away lands.

My husband’s family are in Germany, his homelands, and I hold a dear space in my heart for that place. As a result, ich spreche eine wenig Deutsch.

I’ve lived on Kabi Kabi Country / Sunshine Coast since 2015, and adore the forest I live and work in every day. I hold deep respect for the First Nations holders of life and lore around the world. And acknowledge the displacement and decimation of sophisticated peoples and culture on the lands where I live.

Thank you for meeting me here.

My religion is love.
