National Fitness Expert, Isometric Body Specialist, Master Trainer Dancer, Designer, and Creative Director. “In bay co. I’ve created an oasis where you can let your guard down, where your mind & body find peace.”

Est. in 2017, as a single mother and generational abuse survivor, Erika opened her doors to not only share her exclusive body method but to have a safe haven to live and grow her love of community and desire for healing and female empowerment all within her personally designed space. Erika’s passion to uplift and build confidence in women is what fuels her. She finds her inspiration in true body connection and authentic movement that ignites strength, control, freedom, and a sultry sense of power. “There is nothing like knowing your body, reclaiming your body, feeling sexy in your skin, and kicking shame’s ass daily. Every woman deserves to feel that power and freedom.”

Erika’s love for movement started at just age 3 as a student of classical ballet in Upstate New York. Having extreme joint hypermobility issues, competitive and professional dance took a toll on her body, having multiple knee surgeries that began at just age 14. She knew that movement was her life, but safety was essential, and she knew education was the way to get there. “I had to find a more supportive way to create connection and beauty with my body.” Finding Barre at age 19 forever changed her life. Erika spent her early twenties working as a master trainer for national fitness leaders and exploring her passion and education in business and design. With a fire inside to reach others through proper education, beauty, and healing, she looked to the pioneers of the “barre” industry to offer the best of the best. After powerful training and connections with the original creators and industry leaders, Erika created and launched the bay wreath \ BODY Method™ in 2017.

Erika has received extensive training, experience, certifications, and education from - Esther Fairfax (Lotte Berk’s daughter), Lydia Bach (the creator of The Lotte Berk Method™), and multi-platform training with the Nation’s leading barre franchise.
