President
Born mountain dwelling hippie, turned world-traveling, USN operations communications specialist.
Erin’s passion for supporting the youth in us all began with her own struggles in school and being bullied. In adulthood, the struggle became physical. She was sick for many years before finding the healing that only self-love can bring.

She made her living the last 20 years owning a salon in San Diego as a cosmetologist specializing in hair restoration. She started a volunteer program for seniors giving over 100 free haircuts a month and awarded the humanitarian award. She led branding, marketing and events for multiple global and nationwide social impact projects and non-profits (CAYS, Blue Ribbons Worldwide, Autism Tree Project Foundation). Erin Nicole is also a fun loving, multicultural innovative educator. As a much beloved teacher, she brought "new wave" curriculum to the Perris County educational system.
Erin is a creative visionary at heart creating crafts for kids and adults through her shop on Etsy TheFaeryShoppe. Her art is published in the book Blindsight: A Quantum Life In A Human World. For Erin Creativity is what keeps her gowing and her time balanced. She knows her mission at heart is to ignite the creative side in all of us.
Erin knows that TOGETHER we are stronger. The truth is when we feel truly valued, supported and ignited, the sky’s the limit!
