What if I’ve never done anything like this before?

Then you’re in good company: many of my clients have never done inner work of any kind, and many are “inner work veterans.” Wherever you are on your journey, the work will meet you there. There’s nothing to know, nothing to prepare, and nothing to get right. You don’t even need to arrive with words, we find them together. You set the pace from beginning to end.

If everything I need to know is already within me, what will these sessions do for me?

Yes, you could meditate and do online exercises, read books and get some results, but this could take years or a lifetime to get the movement within you that you desire. An inner ceremony is a gentle way to guide you towards the answers and the transformations you desire at a far more rapid pace, in the safety of my guidance and the gentleness of the space I hold for you.

Is this hypnotherapy? Will I lose control?

No, most sessions are done with just a lowered gaze and a settled breath. You stay aware and in control the whole time. I’m a trained hypnotherapist, and it created some big shifts and realizations for me, however I work in this gentler way because it’s also very effective and more comfortable for most people. In some cases hypnotherapy is an ideal tool, and if I think it would work well for you, we will discuss it and plan a session together. If you are seeking hypnotherapy, just let me know, and we can integrate it into our work together.

Can I bring anything to a session: love, career, family, a big decision?

Yes. Whatever is alive for you is welcome here. Relationship patterns, money, career crossings, family pain, desire, grief, a question you can’t put down. All of you is welcome here. My clients have brought all of it, and often, what we find underneath holds far more lightness and healing than we could have predicted. I am not trained to handle deeper psychiatric issues such as personality disorders, self harm, people who may be feeling suicidal, or those in active trauma. I am trauma informed, and if traumatic things from your past come up in our session they are welcome — all of you is welcome. If something arises in our consultation or a session that is out of my scope of practice, I will lovingly refer you to a person or organization that I think can help you.

My “Circle” package is $380 CAD. Longer journeys start at $880 CAD depending on the number of sessions we decide is best. Every path starts with a $50 consultation call.

How do I know if this is right for me?

That’s exactly what the consultation call is for: it’s refundable, unhurried, no pressure. We talk about where you are, and we both decide whether working together is right.

Inner Ceremonies

Attune to all that you are.

Imagine coming upon a beautiful natural opening in the forest. Here the warm sun shines through the protection of the trees. Here you are a natural part of everything: nothing is considered a weed, every part of you belongs.

Thresholds

When life is asking you to rise

Standing at a crossing. Maybe it’s a pattern that’s showing itself to you or a dream you have for yourself, not yet dared upon. You may know what you want, or at least a voice inside you keeps urging you in a certain direction, but there is this resistance. Sometimes you even totally disregard your inner desires and intuition, as if they can’t be trusted or aren’t valid. If you look deeply, you might even notice there is a cycle happening, and it’s holding you back. Sometimes you can’t see what’s in the way yet, and it simply feels like you are stuck, there may be a feeling of heaviness, tiredness, or numbness, or like trudging through thick mud.

Inner connection, parts work, new agreements, and transforming obstacles are the heart of an Inner ceremony. We feel something so strongly, and then the negative thoughts, an obstacle or pattern is there again. We know what we want, but then the resistance is there again. This can show up in how you feel your feelings, your connection with yourself, your choices around relationships, finances, career, desires, and most often in who we choose in love, why we choose them, how we love them, and what we’re really reaching for.

Should I stay? Should I do it?
Why am I like this? Why does this keep happening?

In an inner ceremony, space is held for the pattern to explain itself. Like a raindrop ripples the pond, you’ll identify how it interconnects within your life. Sometimes it takes a single session to identify something that has been running for a lifetime. Wherever you’re standing, the work meets you there, and you will feel so much lighter.

Wherever you’re standing, the work meets you there.

The Work

What happens in an Inner Ceremony

I love ceremonies, from experiences with plant medicine, to daily ceremonies in my time living in Bali, to ceremonies around birth, life and death that I have been a part of. I know the power they hold when it comes to transformation and opening to what we want in life. I believe in the power and honour of holding a ceremonial space that feels grounded and safe enough for new neural pathways to form.

An Inner Ceremony honours both ancient and science-proven methods. In a 1:1, medicine / substance-free ceremony you are invited to be in a deeper state of being with yourself, while we remain focused on what you want to learn, transform and grow into.

The Session

Inside a session

This is not talk therapy: together with tools like guided visualization and breath work, we travel past the thinking mind into a deeper, relaxed state, where your body holds the information you need. We find our way past the clutter of the mind, past the conditioning that life imparts on us, and into a more simple state of pure presence. The body is the opening, and from within this opening, tailored techniques like somatic experiencing, parts work, inner child work, and tailored exercises move you towards your desired outcome.

In an inner ceremony, what no longer serves us can be honoured for how it once did, and new self-agreements can be made in a way that allows them to hold and make the shifts in your life that you desire. These sessions are a path to knowing thyself and inviting in what you want for yourself.

We work from the perspective that you already hold all the unique wisdom within you, and that your body already knows. That you are not broken, there is nothing wrong with you, nothing to fix. I am there to witness, hold and guide you to the clarity and results you desire. An inner ceremony is medicine / substance free and done from the safety of your own home via a secure confidential zoom connection.

You are always in control. You set the pace. Afterward, if appropriate, I create a personal integration recording: your own wisdom from the session, spoken back to you.

You are able to be aware of parts of yourself you may wish were different, and still fall deeply in love with yourself, while you nurture gentle transformations within.

Our inner world must shift first. Everything else will naturally follow.

Your Guide

Erin Northcott

“My path to this work began the way most true things do: through living it.”

I spent eleven years carrying my brother Daniel’s story to the world, producing the HBO documentary of his life and death. Along that road I came to know grief intimately, and how to dare and dream big for my brother’s legacy. In amongst the grief, and the long, often murky road of making the film, I became a mother, moved through relationship patterns and faced pain stemming from my childhood. I lost myself, and found my way back: through ceremony, somatic work, meditation, hypnotherapy, and the slow practice of returning to my own body. What I learned became something I could offer others.

Trained in somatic therapy, embodiment, parts work, inner child work, hypnotherapy, NLP, breathwork, yoga, and the ancient teachings of tantra, I blend what I’ve learned into something entirely my own: ceremonial in feeling, grounded in the body, and rooted in the bond between people and the earth. I work with clients worldwide from my home on Vancouver Island, where I live with my son among the forests that continue to heal me.

I wholeheartedly embrace all backgrounds, identities, genders, sexual orientations, cultures, religions, and relationship structures. Everyone is welcome here.

The Journey

Three Pillars

Through years of working with clients, and walking my own journey, I developed three supportive pillars.

Client Praise

“The work felt profoundly powerful, but also incredibly accessible. I never felt like I was having to push myself, and yet I could feel us making great strides. My overall impression is that it’s very gentle and yet also very effective.”

Naga T. USA
“During our sessions I was able to go beyond my thinking mind and drop into a deeper layer of awareness and embodiment. It allowed me to access parts of myself that felt less mental and more intuitive, archetypal, and embodied.”

Shannon M. South Africa
“The space Erin held in our sessions was powerful, and it allowed me to connect with aspects of myself more deeply, and trust myself even more. She’s very intuitive, compassionate, and holds a strong healing container.”

Phoebe L. USA
“Erin happens to have a magical toolbox full of things she can pull out to help you move through stuckness or gain clarity. I made profound shifts in areas that I’ve been working on for a long time.”

Naga T. USA
“I would describe her coaching as deeply integrative and intuitive, while still being grounded and clear. The sessions gently guide you into what is not yet fully seen, in a way that feels safe, respectful, and attuned to where you are in that moment.”

Shannon M. South Africa
“My favorite part was the recordings Erin made after our sessions: speaking back to me, word for word, wisdom that came to me during our sessions, so the power of the work could continue to support me. Erin is a powerful guide who meets you where you are.”

Case Study

“My inner child was so present, and actually in charge of my life. I learned how far away I have been from the adult empowered version of myself. I didn’t know her at all.”

Dani Reardon USA
Former Pro Athlete, Sound Practitioner, and Ceremony Facilitator

I loved working with and getting to know my parts. Diving in through the body and subconscious to discover all the parts of ourselves.

It was extremely helpful, in me seeing what parts were most active and running the show. And it was also very helpful to see which parts needed a bit more energy and getting to know. I loved the gentle space you held, and it made it very easy for me to let go and trust and be vulnerable.

Profound shifts and insights. One of the big ones was learning my inner child was so present and actually in charge of my life. Recognizing this helped me understand why she was there and so loud, and why at times I feel disempowered in a way and unable to make big life decisions, stand up for myself and feel abandoned at times. In that session, I learned how far away I have been from the adult empowered version of myself. I didn’t know her at all, so just recognizing this was helpful in that it informed where I was currently at, and that there is another way to be operating in this life.

Another profound insight was in our last session where we discovered I was mirroring the split life I had as a kid with my parents, with them being divorced. I was creating what was familiar in my adult life, in how I live in two worlds. The medicine world and my normal world. Even though this is uncomfortable for me to be in, in many ways it was familiar and actually creating a lot of disharmony in my life. So that insight was really helpful, in just seeing what I have created as an adult.

Another one was just giving myself the permission to be in a process of some sort. I think it was my heart gave me the verbiage, that it’s ok and I am just figuring it out. I was trying so hard and felt this urgency to make a decision and not have confusion and clouds in my mind, but my body / heart was saying it’s ok, you are in a process and it helped me not need to rush it. It helped me let go a little bit into the process of it all and just let my body move through time, and to let the process just unfold.

Honestly Erin, I wouldn’t change a thing. I don’t know if that is helpful for you. But I got so much out of our sessions and thought you did amazing, and were incredibly helpful in all the ways. I am excited to continue working with you.

A note from me

“Uncovering Stuff”.

I know what it is to stand at a threshold and not know which way to move. I’ve been in the chair: for years, with practitioners of my own, doing the work of finding my way back. Very few of us have bloomed beyond childhood without some trauma, some conditioning, some limiting beliefs, some fear of our own feelings and the very real power within us.

In my experience, when we dive in and risk “feeling it” or "uncovering stuff”, there may be a stunning awareness of seemingly unconnected events from our life coming together to answer questions, and offer us that “Ah-ha moment”.

The “it” or the “stuff” may feel like something to be feared, but with this “Ah-ha” we usually get a sense of wordless amazement, deliverance and relief. We then may feel how heavy the weight was that we had been carrying for so long. Tears of relief and exhaustion may leave us feeling calm, grateful and somber, in a good way.

We may grieve having not found this relief sooner, as we wonder what life would have looked like if we’d known what we do now. The comfort is, that this is “wisdom being formed”; by processing difficult questions and feelings that in turn, increase our intuitive understanding of what it is to be us.

I built this work out of what carried me.

If you’re standing somewhere unfamiliar, or all too familiar, right now — I have likely stood on similar ground. And I’d be honoured to walk it with you.

Is this journey for you?

- You are ok with coming to a session just as you are at that moment. Messy, sad, angry, joyful, excited, is all welcome, this is a space for you to come as you are.
- You are curious about or experienced in spiritual support and somatic experiencing.
- You are ready to prioritize yourself by putting time and finances towards your development.
- You prefer a purely talk based therapy. We will talk, but a lot of our work is done with a lowered gaze, or if you are comfortable, ideally with your eyes closed, tuning into your body and inner world.
- If you can’t turn off your phone and distractions to take time just for yourself, or often miss appointments. These sessions will require your full presence, privacy and uninterrupted time.
- If you are experiencing mental health issues or suffer from severe depression that affects your ability to interact with loved ones, or do things like get out of bed, go to school or work. Working with a Psychiatrist or Psychotherapist is likely better suited to you first.
