“Erin McCarthy is an exceptional human. She exudes joy and kindness and yet is familiar with the depths of suffering. Her commitment to academic study and teaching has allowed her to hone her intellectual knowledge of Buddhist study, especially from a feminist perspective and this, in combination with her intimacy of the healing potential of mindfulness and compassion practices enables her to teach with authenticity.”
“The mindfulness practices we have explored together have been an incredible investment into my overall health. I have appreciated Erin meeting me where I was at, without judgement. Her kind and compassionate approach allowed me to explore what was getting in the way of creating a daily practice to support my goal of moving through life with more ease. I felt empowered throughout the process.”
“Focusing on my breath and giving space to listen to my body allowed me to hear a message that I needed to hear, acknowledge and then almost instantly I moved on to a different energy of courage to move on with my current project. It was just what I needed and I so appreciate Erin’s tone and pace with her voice that was just perfect. I would totally recommend working with Erin. You won’t regret it! ”
“My work with Erin helped me to stay focused during the difficult periods which really helped me get through these times with a lot more ease. I always looked forward to our sessions. Erin celebrates success with such joy, she listens with patience and understanding and gives clear direction. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her during a difficult time.”
I’m Erin McCarthy PhD, Mindfulness Coach & Philosophical Counsellor - and thanks to my unique combination of 30+ years of mindfulness practice and my training and experience as a Philosophy Professor - I can help you discover how to become the calmest, most confident and most capable version of yourself.
As a long term meditator I discovered first-hand the transformative power of mindfulness - and as a professor, speaker, author, concussion survivor and parent of twins, I’ve had the opportunity to integrate these practices into everyday life in a sustainable way.
I’m passionate about sharing these tools and the culmination of my insights in order to help curious humans find and listen to their own inner wisdom - so that they can truly heal and flourish.
Erin has been recognized as A Top Mindfulness Coach by Coach foundation, one of the biggest names in the coaching industry.
