Dr. Erin Chanel combines her Doctorate in Leadership and Systems Psychology with her love of Reiki as a Master Teacher. Founder of HERE: A Listening Space for Women, she offers private consulting to women in leadership. Erin is also on a heartfelt mission to deliver 1,000 Distance Reiki sessions. Her approach radiates love and supportive, grounded in a lifelong quest for self-mastery, which she defines as a vibrant journey fueled by curiosity, growth, and joy.

Born in Alaska and bred in Nebraska, Erin has long been inspired by nature. At sixteen, the vastness of open spaces and untouched wilderness sent her crisscrossing the country with her Nikkormat camera, capturing how light illuminates landscapes and the wildlife residing in them. Eventually, she surpassed one million miles across North America with her beloved sled dog, Aiko. Sadly, she noted that wildlife and wilderness were disappearing at an alarming rate. This disconnection motivates her work today.

Her first degree was in ceramic arts, where she transferred her love of photography, painting, and dance into the movement and strength of ceramic sculpture. She created big and expressive yet soft and dynamic vases and sculptures that reflected tall trees and the feminine form. During that time, she began traveling abroad. She took her Nikkormat camera to Europe and Central America. She later taught English in Asia and South America. Her devotion to honoring the world’s natural beauty and diversity continues to guide her creative journey.

Peace and wellbeing form the foundation of Erin’s core values. For nearly forty years, she has traveled the world to study yoga, bodywork, energy, intuition, and meditation, collecting over 100 certifications. Her doctorate gave these certifications a home. While her journey has been anything but ordinary, it has gifted her with a wealth of experience and wisdom that she now shares with women leaders through her consulting practice.
