Dancing brought Erin Stutland unlimited joy when she was a schoolgirl. It quickly turned to pressure, however, when she majored in it during college. Her world was further rocked in the second semester of her freshman year, when her mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
Soon, Erin was overwhelmed and in the throes of depression. A therapist recommended antidepressants, but Erin had a different idea. Her mother was dealing with chemotherapy through tai chi and meditation, and Erin soon discovered she could change her thoughts.
Mindfulness became Erin’s passion and calling. Today she creates programs and writes books that help others discover the power of healthy, thoughtful movement.
