Hi, I’m Erica
Skone-Rees

I am a certified mindfulness & meditation teacher, chronic illness warrior, artist and healing arts practitioner.

(she/her)

I’ve been working and teaching for over 20 years on Ohlone & Chochenyo land, known as Oakland, California.

As a coach, my offerings pull from a tapestry of science-based practices & alternative healing modalities that have helped me and millions of others find balance and joy in our lives. Additionally, I pull from my own life experiences as a chronic illness warrior, sharing the tools and techniques that have best served me to live a present, embodied, joyful life despite the challenges of sometimes being unwell.

This woven path includes mindfulness-based integrative coaching, guided meditation, creative processing, expert guidance on how to manage stress, lower your toxin load, regulate your nervous system and ally-support through navigating chronic illness.

My personal experiences traversing traumatic brain injuries, mold toxicity and Lyme disease, inform my methodology and approach, providing me with a level of understanding and empathy, as well as proven techniques and a body of knowledge that I am honored to share with others.

I look forward to supporting you through your healing, transformation and growth.
