I had the privilege of sharing the experience of hosting a weekend retreat with Erin Oberlander, founder of Arcadia Holistic School. I emphasize hosting because Erin was initially contracted to only provide 6 hours of Aromatherapy and Sound Therapy—what happened, is she provided far more than a quantitative amount of time can invoice.

Erin exuded mastery knowledge in custom aromatherapy oil blends to core understanding of lineage and aromatic healing elements that are mandatorily unique to each person. She took a personal interest in spending active, connected and engaged time/focus in each person’s journey she created a blend for.

She also has the knowledge and ability to effectively communicate on various levels – the essence(s) of these blends and how the aromatic components work in direct relation with cognitive recollection of memory and to present moment feeling. She incorporated a Rife machine into the aromatherapy experience (note, her expertise in sound therapy was cross used in an aromatherapy session – dual benefit).

Erin showed exceptional knowledge and ability in sound healing – providing an auditory and vibrational journey with Tibetan and crystal bowls, drums, and gongs (and more... she has a versatile toolkit of her craft). It was a powerful experience, and I would recommend it to anyone looking to journey within. In a group setting – Erin works with intuition and action, her experience is noticed through natural ability to instinctively react, respond, and adapt to a group dynamic.
