She uses these skills to work with individuals, helping them tap into their personal power. Committed to improving the lives of women and children as well as underserved  communities, Ericka has lead workshops in the DC metro area for women and girls in collaboration with Whitman-Walker Clinic, and DC Rape Crisis Center. She also  coaches woman along their life and career journeys. Workshop topics have included  healing from sexual abuse, living healthy, eating to live, and aspects of self-development. Her October 2019 speaking engagement with Whole Foods Foundation in  Detroit centered on overcoming trauma and negative choices to reclaim your personal  power. She has written articles, spoken at and facilitated conference and program  sessions related to the various areas she has mastered throughout her lifetime. Ericka is also experienced in business and organization development, governance, strategic planning, strengthening teams, building leaders and redesigning culture.

Susan Buonocore MA www.goodheartstudio.com www.facebook.com/goodheartstudio www.instagram.com/goodheartstudio   For over 20 years Susan has enjoyed blending traditional therapy with rich spiritual practices. Clients experience a powerful exploration of their soul’s journey with methods tailored to their needs, goals, and beliefs. Susan received her four-year post-graduate MA in Integrative Arts Psychotherapy at the Institute for Arts and Therapy in Education while living in London, England. She then completed her residency training at the psychiatric ward of Southwood Mental Health Clinic in South London while running a private psychotherapy practice. Susan began to expand her traditional therapy practice to include spiritual modalities, shamanic journeying, and new neuroscience methods when she moved to Los Angeles, California in 2000. Meditation, Crystal and Vibrational Sound Healing, Soul Retrieval and Exploration are some of the many ways she weaves together the soul's journey to find the deeper meaning of the big questions, “Who Am I?, “Why Am I Here?” and “How do I Serve Others?” Susan, being a big supporter of technology early on in her career, found the need to find various programs to enable long-distance or handicapped clients to experience private sessions, workshops, and classes. She was part of the first wave of therapists using the Zoom platform in 2011 and looks forward to all the future technology being developed to increase the connection of humanity. Recently Susan relocated to the magical township of Eureka Springs, Arkansas and continues her sessions and classes online with her clients and students sprinkled around the globe via Zoom. The home office, set in a tranquil private setting, is now open to those that wish to join her in person. Projects are underway to accommodate guests for personal spiritual retreats or one-day and multi-day workshops.
