“Erin Colleen Geraghty you have helped me in so many ways. To start just going to your classes at thrive has taught me the spiritual side of yoga. Through yoga and the meditation you have taught me I have learned to sit still and quit my “ monkey mind”. Through your coaching and retreat I learned so many tools to process emotions and see negative thought patterns. I have learned it ok to have all different emotions and it’s ok to express them. I have learned how to sit with the uncomfortable emotions, to go to them and feel them and process them and be ok with them. To look at the dark and be ok with it. You really took so much time teaching me boundaries and how to set them, still a work in process. But I now know it’s ok to have boundaries and express when they are being crossed and that I don’t have to bend them for anyone. That it’s ok to respect and express my feelings and expect others to respect them as well. So thank you for so many life lessons! Oh and I didn’t even mention all the time you have spent relieving my aches and pains!! Specially through my pregnancy and being so creative with your bolsters so I could lay face down!!”
-Robin Medeiros
“I have too many instances to count. There are two that come to mind first though…one was when I got rear ended while pregnant. You came over the next day and gave me some reiki work to help me feel better. The other was when I needed a place to stay after I had just moved out and my rental was being tented. You left me stuffies on the bed, let me sleep late, and made me bubble baths ? I’m grateful for you!”
-Krista Renee
“You have helped me be braver, stronger, more confident. You’ve helped me learn more about myself in a time I was so lost. You continue to help me grow and learn and grant myself grace. You’ve given me tools to find peace when I feel there is none. And that is one of the greatest gifts.”

“Hi Erin! You were helping me when you didn’t even know it. I stumbled across your podcast from the sivana podcast. I listened to each and every episode…. man, to say they were healing is a downplay. I felt like each episode was exactly what I needed at that very moment. All these podcasts eventually led me to a coaching session and ultimately a retreat with you.

That fear doesn’t have to ever control me again. To be brave. That I have all the tools I will ever need right inside me. You have helped me conquer and control anxiety, improve my self esteem and body image, understand myself and how my head gets stuck. You have introduced me to the universal source and the overwhelming love that comes from all around me that I didn’t even know existed previously. Yoga, mediation, exercise, love, kindness, bravery, compassion for myself, it’s endless. You are an amazing gift in my life and I’m so deeply grateful I have you as my teacher and friend. Love you to the moon and back!!”

“You have given me a haven to escape to when life gets just to difficult to deal with. I’m not sure I’d be upright if I didn’t have a place to let it all go and recharge.

Being in my 70s and starting all over in life is not easy but doable with the support and community that you provide for us. Hope your birthday was as special at you are and Thank you!”

I’m sure theres more but thats just a glimpse my friend.”
-Rebecca Joy Griggs
“You are always bringing positive energy and light to this world. Your post are so positive and kind. We need this in our world today with all the negativity and pushing ones own controversial opinions from their perceptive of their own journey everywhere we look. You offer classes by donation which is incredibly kind and selfless. It opens people up to yoga and other thoughts that people typically wouldn’t try or couldn’t afford. I know that has to be challenging for you at times running a business. You share your experiences that may have been not so good so others dont feel alone. You bring light into others journeys. Definitely!”
