My name is Erika Anastasi and I am a Clinical Hypnotherapist, Energy Alchemist and a Strategic Coach. Thank you for reading my story and I hope I can be of inspiration.
​
I am originally from Malta and I moved to the USA about 25 years ago.
I have one daughter who is now 22 years old. My personal journey brought me here, and allowed me to experience work as a preschool teacher and nanny for many years! As satisfying as that was I always knew there was more to this journey.
I was trying to find my purpose and I spent about 10 years searching for answers. I was stuck in a constant loop, chasing my tail and if anyone would have told me back then that I was going to become a phenomenal coach, coaching many others to find their purpose, I would have laughed hard!!!
Around 7th grade, my daughter started to struggle with anxiety, depression and ptsd. She was fighting some dark demons for a very long time. After many years of conventional therapy, her father and I were noticing that she was always staying stuck, repeating same patterns and dealing with the same shadows,
Conventional therapy was not helping her. Conventional therapy was sometimes more harmful than what was originally causing her issues!! This is because there were times where she would walk out with a prescription script for some dangerous medications with harmful side effects. Unfortunately, in the USA, children at around 14 years old can make their own decision in regards to meds.
​
At this point I was very determined to find a healthier alternative, there had to be a solution for all this madness! After many, long hours spent in research, I stumbled upon Hypnotherapy. I decided to get certified in Rapid Transformational Therapy in particular, because this school has a very good reputation. The founder and creator of the school, Marisa Peer, is a world-renowed therapist, with 30 years of experience in hypnotherapy. I was very fortunate to study under her in person, in London, in October of 2019. I also loved the idea that RTT not only utilizes hypnosis, but it also uses Neurolinguistic Programming, Cognitive Behavior and Psychotherapy. I learnt and got to experience 1st hand, that by combining these modalities together, I started to see powerful results, fast!!
​
Prior to my training, I was very in my mind, in my intellect all the time and not a big fan of emotions. Back then I had no idea what this meant, that my feminine energy was being suppressed. That I was predominantly in my masculine energy and I viewed that as very heroic. I used to view vulnerability as weakness. Ohhhh how I had no idea, that I was in for a big surprise!
During my training, I had to present 4 shadows to work on, per month. That's a lot of layers that I had to peel from my onion! So practically I was being forced to face my own demons and shedding a light on each of my shadows, very quickly!
​
I was able to get to the root of all my issues, including some major health issues like Hashimoto, hypothyroid autoimmune disease, weight gain, chronic back pain, asthma, lack of confidence, self worth, low self esteem, procrastination, public speaking, romantic relationships issues and my relationship with money!!
​
Later on I realized that I had to Step into my own Power 1st, by taking responsibility of my own shadows, raising my frequency and becoming the best version of myself. This way I can be a "True Master who creates the most Masters and a True leader who creates the most Leaders".
​
During my journey I was even introduced to Past Life Regression! Some clients are open to this and others not so much. I think it's very interesting, however what's matters the most is what you do in this now moment, in the present, because that's all we have.
​
I strive to gain knowledge and experience daily. My Human Design profile is the 4/1. The 4/1 is the only profile with a ‘fixed’ life path or purpose. It's only 2% of the population. I am the Opportunist Investigator with an exceptional solid foundation just like the oak tree. I am here to bring depth, always have an urge to study, investigate and share my wisdom and knowledge with my people.
​
I am here to be your bridge, to help you achieve a Brain and Heart coherence. Coherence is when your brain works with your heart and body. It is a state of unity between your mind, body, and spirit. This state of harmony allows you to be more present and aware. I will help you achieve this state in which your brain and your heart work together efficiently.
