Erin Hayford, ND

Hi, I'm Dr. Erin (she/ her/ hers)! I am a Naturopathic Doctor and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner® with a passion for helping people understand the deeper "why" of their illness. My particular specialty is helping people explore the intersection between chronic symptoms and trauma—how "the body keeps the score" and what we need to do to help your nervous system shift into a place of safety in order for health and healing to occur.

In my early twenties, I found myself stuck in a relentless cycle of physical pain, mental exhaustion, and emotional turmoil. My life took an unexpected turn when I received a diagnosis of an incurable autoimmune condition with a bleak prognosis. However, I had a deep sense that there had to be a better way to work with my body and symptoms. Through years of trial and error, my symptoms gradually faded, and today, it is in remission. This journey forged my life's purpose: helping others to uncover the extraordinary healing potential innate within your own body.

1:1 sessions include a combination of Somatic Experiencing® and bodywork, which entails a blend of somatic bodywork modalities and Craniosacral therapy. I strive to create a safe, healing container in which you can explore some of the darkest parts of your shadow in order to bring all of yourself into the light. I look forward to meeting you!
