More about Erica:

I am a licensed massage therapist, certified aromatherapist, and board-certified continuing education provider. I started in the spa industry over 20 years ago and have worked in massage therapy schools and spa settings, training practitioners on the safe use of essential oils and bodywork techniques. I am an approved provider for the National Certification Board of Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork, and from 2020-2024, I was the continuing education chairperson for the New York State Society of Medical Massage Therapists. I am an adjunct massage instructor with North Country Community College in upstate New York, and in addition to teaching, I own a small massage therapy and aromatherapy practice. My flagship course, "Aromatherapy for Massage Therapists," focuses on the safe and sustainable use of essential oils in therapeutic massage practice, and aromatherapy massage is a passion of mine. I live in the beautiful Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York with my husband, son, and two dogs.
