Meet Erin Stabile who helps Enlightened Souls Ditch Shitty Mindset & Energetic Blocks Through Intuitive Empowerment Coaching to Step Into Your Power. About 3 years ago Erin had a moment of clarity in a job review. She was told to find something that makes her happy. She felt like a lightbulb went off. Two days later she had gastric sleeve surgery, two weeks later she found her spiritual mentor and transformed her entire life. She began Reiki energy healing to help with her chronic pain, and her intuitive gifts turned on. She started this intense healing and transformational process.
