Life coaching with Erica

EK Coaching & Wellness fosters a dynamic partnership that honors a client’s journey to self awareness, self discovery, and growth. We are often tethered by expectations, responsibilities, and social pressures. It is easy to neglect awareness of our “being” by getting lost in all that we are “doing”. My coaching creates space to connect with oneself, to grasp what one truly wants, and to take action to achieve it. I support those navigating life’s many challenges and empower them to make choices that are aligned with their authentic selves. This work focuses on deeply exploring the present and on moving forward with intention. By illuminating each person’s innate creativity, resilience, and resourcefulness, my coaching draws out the answers that already exist within.

“Resilience is silent and deep, like roots. It doesn’t announce itself. It doesn’t explode outward. It doesn’t fall. It doesn’t break. It simply always is. And you are.”

- Victoria Erickson

Hi! I’m Erica!

I am a family nurse practitioner, mama, Certified Professional Co-Active Coach, and founder of EK Coaching & Wellness. I have a diverse healthcare background and a longstanding passion for maximizing mental wellness. I embrace transparency, the little things, joy, authenticity, and laughing at ourselves whenever possible. I am here to provide a space that is safe to be your imperfect, growing self without fear of judgment or pressure. Come as you are! Coaching is impactful. I’m here to help you see the capable, dynamic, unique human being you are. You do not need to be fixed because you are not broken. We only get to do this life once.

I’m here to help you be the leader in your own life.

1:1 Coaching with Erica

  • Virtual Session (Zoom or FaceTime)

    Comfy from home or wherever you may be. There is much to be gained by being able to see one another during coaching. I ask that you pick a spot where you feel safe to speak freely.

  • Phone Session

    Great if you are wanting to disconnect from the darn screen for a moment. This option offers an equally powerful means to connect. Again, I ask that you are in a place where you feel safe to speak freely.

  • In Person Session

    If local to the Milwaukee area, in person session availability Monday through Wednesday. My office is located within North Shore Wellness Collective in Whitefish Bay (159 E. Silver Spring Drive).

    Dante F.

  • "For years I’ve struggled with everyday topics such as control, procrastination, connecting to my true self, what do I want to do with my life?….to name a few. Topics that I would always tell myself “I’ll figure it out someday”, with very little progress. After only my sixth session with her, I have gained more traction, covered more ground, acquired and honed more tools for constructing and cultivating actual results, than I have in 20 years of going it alone. Coaching with, Erica Karek, is nothing less than human development and transformational change at its finest. She brings a deep sense of symbiosis, authenticity, and the space to explore and be vulnerable, all while feeling safe, loved, cared for and positive forward motion. Thank you, Erica!"

  • “Erica is a wonderful coach and helped me greatly in figuring out my career trajectory and personal goals. She is extremely patient, thoughtful, and clear, but what really stands out is how she asks the right questions to guide productive discussion and facilitate self-discovery. Erica is really a pleasure to talk to and work with and I very highly recommend her!"
