Erin graduated from the prestigious Oregon College of Oriental Medicine in Portland, Oregon. She was drawn to the medicine through personal experience, as acupuncture helped her resolve an anxiety disorder, and later helped her conceive her son and keep her sanity during pregnancy. She loves helping people through transitions in their own lives, and does so by using a variety of health tools.

Inner Works Acupuncture offers healing from the inside out. Each of us holds within us the natural resources that we need to heal. By engaging the transformative power within, Inner Works empowers you in an authentic healing process that encompasses physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. Inner Works offer three clinical modalities that work synergistically: Acupuncture, Zero Balancing and Herbs and Nutrition. nner Works takes its inspiration from the Chinese phrase nei gong 內功. In traditional Chinese healing, exercise and martial arts, nei gong refers to the cultivation of internal energy or qi. For the ancient Chinese, cultivating internal energy includes cultivating and improving oneself in all aspects: spiritual, physical, psychological, moral. Like the Chinese practice of nei gong, the goal of Inner Works is core-level healing for the whole person – body, mind and spirit. Illness is not an enemy to be fought, but rather a message from the body/mind for deeper healing and transformation. 內 nei translates as “inner.” It has two parts. The first part 冂 shows a picture of an empty box. The second part 入 is the character meaning “to enter.” It shows a sprout with two roots. Together, these are a picture of the roots of a plant growing into and penetrating an interior space. This character is the inspiration for the calligraphic logo of Inner Works. 功 gong translates as “work, skill, service, achievement.” It also consists of two parts. 工 is a root form of the character for “work,” originally a picture of a tool. 力 means “power, strength, force.” Power plus a tool gives us the idea of work. In Chinese, plural and singular forms of words are the same, so I freely use the English plural form, “works.” In English, the word “work” has a slightly different nuance than the Chinese, because it includes the sense of “functioning.” This adds another layer of meaning to the name: “Inner Works” works!
