Dr. McCarthy completed her Ph.D. in Philosophy at the University of Ottawa (2000), comparing western and eastern views of the self. A long time meditator, she came to teach mindfulness and self-compassion through her interest in and scholarship on Contemplative Education and Buddhist Philosophy.  

Erin is a member of the University of Ottawa’s  Academy for Mindfulness and Contemplative Studies, and was recently honoured with being named a Fellow of the Mind and Life Institute.  A trained teacher of Mindful Self-Compassion, Mindfulness for Symptom Management,  Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction for Teens and Mindfulness for Kids. She is also a Unified Mindfulness Level 2 Coach, and an International Mindfulness Teachers Association Certified Mindfulness Teacher - Professional Level. A life long learner, she is currently pursuing certification in MindBody Therapy.

Dr. McCarthy combines her 20+ years of mindfulness expertise and experience with her academic background as a Philosophy Professor to provide the most powerful transformation possible for her clients.  Her evidence-based, trauma-sensitive approach is completely customized to each client and their unique thoughts and circumstances. She works with adults, youth and children.

Erin's Calm Mind, Happy Life program is designed to help people become their most calm, most confident and most capable version of themselves. She has also developed an expertise in post-concussion recovery. With her Calm Concussion Recovery Program, she supports clients in concussion recovery so that they can be less fatigued, more focused, and feel good...even in the midst of symptoms.

Our minds and bodies are complex, but flourishing as a human can be surprisingly simple when you have an expert teacher and coach who is able to look at your thoughts and feelings from both a theoretical and practical perspective and offer customized guidance to help you become more of the person you’d like to be and live more of the life you’d like to live.
