About Erica

 Hi, I'm Erica.

I believe that sometimes what people need most is a safe place to be heard, understood, and supported without judgment.

Life can be complicated. We all experience seasons of uncertainty, transition, loss, overwhelm, self-discovery, and growth. During those times, having someone walk alongside us can make all the difference.

I've always been fascinated by people, their stories, and the many different ways we navigate life's challenges. While understanding others has come naturally to me, some of my greatest growth came from turning that same curiosity inward. Through my own experiences of self-discovery, healing, and personal growth, I found a deeper sense of peace, clarity, and purpose. That journey strengthened my desire to help others navigate life's challenges and find their own path forward.

My personal journey, combined with a lifelong interest in human behavior, led me to pursue both formal education and professional training in psychology, wellness, and personal growth. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology with focused studies in addiction, bipolar disorder, and psychosis and completed advanced training through the Mayo Clinic Health and Wellness Coaching Program. I am also Reiki Certified and have spent many years working in healthcare and wellness-centered environments.

Prior to creating Soulitude Living, I owned and operated a holistic wellness spa where I worked closely with individuals seeking support for their health, wellness, and overall quality of life. Through both my professional and personal experiences, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals facing challenges related to addiction, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, grief, life transitions, relationship struggles, emotional overwhelm, chronic health concerns, and questions surrounding purpose, meaning, and personal growth.

A near-death experience earlier in my life also played a significant role in shaping who I am today. Following that experience, I found myself noticing patterns, emotions, and deeper aspects of people's experiences in ways I hadn't before. While I remain grounded in practical conversation and real-life application, this heightened sense of awareness has become one of the many tools I draw upon when supporting others through life's challenges and transitions.

Through all of these experiences, one thing became clear to me: no two people walk the same path, and what helps one person move forward may look very different for someone else. There is no one-size-fits-all solution to healing, growth, or wellness.

My approach combines evidence-based wellness coaching, life experience, compassionate listening, and honest conversation. I believe meaningful change begins with self-awareness and a willingness to explore where you are today and where you want to go next. Rather than focusing on fixing people, I focus on helping individuals reconnect with their own strengths, values, wisdom, and possibilities.

Whether you're seeking greater balance, navigating a life transition, exploring personal growth, improving your overall well-being, or simply looking for a supportive space to think out loud, my goal is to help you gain clarity, confidence, and direction.

At Soulitude Living, wellness is not about perfection. It is about living intentionally, understanding yourself more deeply, and creating a life that feels aligned with who you truly are.

Sometimes the next step begins with a conversation.

Warmly,

Erica Colby
