Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Erika Olivas. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Hi Erika, thanks for joining us today. How did you get your first job in the field that you practice in today?

Way back before I became an Emotion Code Practitioner, I was in a deep state of depression and was suffering from chronic pain in my feet. I was diagnosed with chronic depression and fibromyalgia with only the hope that pills would alleviate the physical and emotional pain I was in. After a few months of medication, I decided it was not the path for me and I stopped. I still struggled with mental health and physical wellness but I was determined to avoid prescriptions as much as I could. I stumbled on the Emotion Code shortly after a break up and became completely immersed in the field. I became a practitioner within months throwing my full savings into training. A few short months after, my physical pain vanished. Seriously, a lifelong disease, was gone completely. I have been practicing ever since and have now been a practitioner since 2018 and in business for the last 4 years.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

I got into this work because I know firsthand what it feels like to struggle. I came from a rough background, and for a long time, I felt broken and stuck in depression. That experience sparked my commitment to finding a better way—not just for myself, but for others. Over the past 10+ years, I’ve dedicated myself to learning about mental health and wellness, exploring everything from energy healing to practical self-care tools, reflective practices, and sound healing.

Today, I guide clients away from pain and into deeper self-connection using a unique combination of energy healing, reflective questions, meditation, and sound therapy. My approach is both spiritual and practical—I don’t just hold space during our sessions, I also provide clients with specific tools and strategies they can continue using long after our time together.

What sets me apart is my authenticity. I’m not here to present myself as someone who has it all figured out—I’m here as someone who has walked through the same struggles my clients are facing. By being vulnerable and sharing relatable stories, I create a safe and supportive space where people can begin cultivating a more loving and compassionate relationship with themselves.

I’m most proud of the transformations I’ve witnessed—seeing clients leave a session feeling lighter, more grounded, and equipped with tools to support their own healing journey. For me, this work isn’t just a profession—it’s a passion rooted in my own story.

If there’s one thing I want people to know about me and my work, it’s this: I’ve been in your shoes, and healing is possible. My mission is to guide others toward self-love, wholeness, and a sense of peace they may not have thought was possible.

Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?

There are so many times in life where we are faced with challenges. The thing that illustrates my resilience is my ability to tell others that I am not ok. I know, sounds counter intuitive right? Well let me explain, if you are sick, can barley get out of bed, but make yourself go to work, how do you feel after? Did it make you feel better? Typically, the answer I hear is “no, I felt worse.” Well what if I told you that people WANT to help you? I could approach people as understanding and supportive so I can call in and say, “I am so sick, I can’t get out of bed.” Most people see this as a weakness, a unsightly vulnerability. I see it as an opportunity for connection. When I went through my divorce last year, I was devastated, my whole life changed in a blink of an eye and I didn’t know how to rebuild. So I began to reach out for community, support, and love. I talked about who much I was hurting and shared my experience with others. I found strength in leaning on others and I found connection when I felt the most disconnected. Resilience to me is the ability to be vulnerable when there is pain present, vulnerability is scary but when I approach life in a vulnerable way, I find that I am so much more supported and held by family, friends, and even strangers.

Training and knowledge matter of course, but beyond that what do you think matters most in terms of succeeding in your field?

Life experience has been my ultimate teacher in my field. I came from an emotionally shut down and physically abusive environment. I know what it is like to struggle, I know the pain we carry from being abused. I also know that through these experiences, I have grown and been able to guide my clients in a more loving and compassionate way. Street smarts, mixed with book smarts, and a deep understanding that we plan and God laughs. Resilience is cultivated through time and that is a skill that was earned through grit. I would have to say life was the most helpful training I could have ever used in my field.
