“Your health is not the price you need to pay for your success, it is the hammer you need to break through the glass ceiling.”
- Erin Wiley

Hey you wild women!

Today I have someone who helps women lean in and lead with their health.

She understands that every woman is on a mission. She has a vision for her life that includes success, freedom, creativity, and adventure. She is giving ‘her all’ to realize her goals and her health should be her greatest resource for achieving that purpose.

Erin Wiley knows that health is not the price you need to pay for your success. You can ‘lean in’ without letting yourself go.

She is a Naturopathic Doctor with over 13 years of experience coaching Toronto’s top executives. She teaches women how to create a lifestyle system that generates consistent energy, supports optimal mood and performance. She knows you are bigger than burnout and you need a guide to help you compassionately uncover your potential.

Her mission is to help you see that your health is not holding you back, it is a hammer you can use to smash the glass ceiling.

Her clinical focus is on energy metabolism. She helps fight fatigue and inflammation to help you to build optimal hormonal balance and focused brainpower. She has a strong interest in integrative medicine and advanced training in environmental and functional medicine and is a graduate of the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine and the University of Western Ontario.

For the past 13 years, she has been the owner of one of Toronto’s leading integrative health clinics, the Integrative Health Institute.

What it means to be a WILD woman:

“Being a wild woman means not asking for permission and knowing that you don’t need permission in the first place. It means leading from the heart. Feeling confident to take those big leaps into the unknown and connecting with your spirit and knowing who you are. It means living in harmony with nature and your beautiful body, mind, and spirit.”
