Erika
Nurse Practitioner. speaker. heart-centered human.
Erika Shepard is a Nurse Practitioner who is passionate about elevating the mental health of leaders, founders, and organizations through her unique approach of optimizing how we connect and relate.
Erika is a Summa Cum Laude graduate of both Arizona State and Georgetown University, and an international speaker who has spoken on stages like TEDx. She bridges the science of her medical training with the heart of her professional and personal experiences to help elevate leaders and organizations into their highest potential.
With her unique background, she spent the first part of her career having a front row seat to human heartbreak through working as a nurse on psychiatric wards and trauma ICU units. Working with people in their most vulnerable states has shown her the power of the human heart and how, when used properly, it can be the most powerful tool we have to succeed in all aspects of our lives. Erika uses authentic connection as medicine, and is excited to be bringing her decade-plus expertise around mental health to the audiences she serves.
Erika now lives in Boulder, Colorado and enjoys hiking with her cat, Ginger, visiting hot springs, skiing, trying new foods and restaurants, and being in bed by 930.
