Yoga Mindfulness Psychotherapy Ecotherapy

Heart Natured Therapies

‘You are the sky. Everything else – it’s just the weather.’ 

Pema Chödrön

Welcome to Heart Natured Therapies. I’m Erika, and I offer yoga and mindfulness, holistic psychotherapy and ecotherapy sessions for adults, children, teens and families in the northern Illawarra. I have been teaching yoga and mindfulness to children, families, and adults in the Thirroul area since 2010. I work collaboratively and with a trauma-informed practice to explore what supports you or your child.

At the heart of my work is a deeply compassionate, heart-centred approach. My intention is always to create a space of warmth, understanding, and genuine connection. In both group and one-on-one sessions, I offer nurturing and holistic support, incorporating a play-based approach for children. Mostly based in my beautiful home studio in Wombarra, in the Wollongong area, I welcome clients both in-person and online. I would love to support you, your child, teen, or family. 

I acknowledge the Wodi Wodi people of the Dharawal Nation as the Traditional Custodians of this unceded land where I live and work, and I offer my deep respect to Elders past, present, and emerging. For over 65,000 years, these First Nations peoples have loved, tended, and cared for this land and the aliveness of Spirit on this Country. May we honour this ongoing connection with respect, reciprocity, and care for Country.

“Erika is a patient, caring & wise guide for children beginning yoga. She is calming but fun and the kids learn a lot from her they can carry with them outside of the yoga class too. Highly recommend!”

Testimonials

Erika has been my yoga teacher for many years and I’ve also had her support and guidance through her holistic psychotherapy practice. She brings a wealth of knowledge, kindness and intuition to this space. What was so interesting was her approach of gently led conversation combined with breath and movement. The benefits for me have continued to unfold over time, especially being given simple practices to build into daily life. It really is a holistic way to work through any challenges or uncertainties. Erika offers deep care and attention, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to you.
Michele
Erika’s yoga classes are so incredibly grounding and healing. Her warm, compassionate approach done with such grace and stability alleviates stress, tension and anxiety. I come away from classes feeling refreshed, reinvigorated and supported. I highly recommend Erika as a teacher who can bring you back to your breath and your body in this technological age when we are feeling more fractured and overstimulated in our lives. The classes bring a wonderful peace of mind and calm to the body.
