Profile

Dr. Erin McCarthy is a compassionate, experienced mindfulness and meditation coach and practitioner with over 20 years experience as an educator. Trained in several different mindfulness modalities, Erin has helped adults, youth and children use mindfulness tools to deal with stress, anxiety, and chronic pain and find more joy, ease and balance in their lives. *** Our minds and bodies are complex, but flourishing as a human can be surprisingly simple when you have an expert teacher and coach who is able to look at your thoughts and feelings from both a theoretical and practical perspective and offer customized guidance to help you become more of the person you’d like to be and live more of the life you’d like to live. Some of my areas of specialization and interest include: concussion recovery; chronic pain; women; academic professionals; stress and anxiety; undergraduate and graduate students. I work with people of all ages - from 8-80 and beyond! I hold a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Ottawa. I’m certified Unified Mindfulness L2 Coach, an International Mindfulness Teachers Association Certified Mindfulness Teacher - Professional, and have also completed teacher trainings and certifications in Mindful Self-Compassion; Mindfulness Based Symptom Management; Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction for Teens (MBSR-T); Mindful Kids; and Mindful Schools Educator Essentials. I combine my 20+ years of mindfulness expertise and experience with my academic background as a Philosophy Professor to provide the most powerful transformation possible for my clients. This unique combination I’m able to bring to the table allows me to work on deeper levels and look at your thoughts from multiple perspectives during our time together. You can learn how to calm your mind, connect with your inner wisdom, and ultimately live a happier, easier life. And I’m here to help you do just that. I make mindfulness, meditation and philosophy practical, so you can integrate it into your daily life. Every person is different and my evidence-based, trauma-sensitive approach is completely customized to them and their unique thoughts and circumstances.
