Erin Orion is a childhood cancer survivor and mother to a childhood cancer survivor of a non-genetic cancer. With a Master of Divinity and trained in many other healing modalities, Erin is a guide, counselor, and coach for people looking to create alignment and build resiliency through the exploration and healing of self and soul. She teaches therapeutic art forms, energetic hygiene, and practices that support sustainable thriving in a world in crisis.

🦄About Me:
In 2011, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma, out of the blue. I did not have any prior health concerns or issues. Fast forward, the dreaded cancer diagnosis opened my eyes, introduced me to my purpose, and led me to where I am today.
As a Cancer Doula, I use my 12 years of experience with cancer to support and guide others diagnosed with cancer. Many people are not familiar with what a cancer doula is. Think of me as your personal guide and patient advocate. Schedule a 30-minute Meet and Greet call to confidentially share the challenges you are facing and learn more about how I can support you. https://bit.ly/OTOSDiscovery
