Hi, I'm Erica, and I'm so glad you're here.
My journey into spirituality and energy work began in 2017 when I first learned Reiki. After re-certifying in Reiki I and II in 2022, I officially became a Reiki Master in April of 2026. What started as a personal practice has grown into something I love sharing with others.
I have spent the past ten years working as a registered nurse, much of that time in hospice and palliative care. That work has shaped how I show up in each session. It has strengthened my respect for the mind-body connection and the kind of care that goes beyond the clinical. Creating a space that feels safe, calm, and supportive is really important to me. I am currently working toward my Holistic RN certification as I continue to grow in this work.
Alongside Reiki, I have been exploring gentle pressure point techniques rooted in a blend of Ayurvedic marma points, traditional Chinese acupressure, and reflexology. Woven into an energy work session, they support relaxation and nervous system regulation in such a complementary way.
I have also been studying tarot for the past four years and offer readings as a reflective tool for insight and inner guidance. I believe tarot helps connect us to our intuition, mirroring what is already within us and bringing it to the forefront.
My goal is to offer a space where you can slow down, restore balance, and feel taken care of. Whatever brought you here, you are welcome.
When I'm not working, you can usually find me at home with my husband Greg and our calico cat Poppy. I also love crocheting and turning that creativity into handmade pieces. Feel free to check out the Crochet Corner section of the site!
Thank you so much for considering Hinman's Handmade & Holistics.
