Teachers We Love

The world is full of people who offer us ways toward what we want. Once you know precisely what you want, and combine that with an honest assessment of exactly what you have, creation takes over. The amazing individuals on this page can help you in that creative journey. Spend some time with them; we think you’ll be amazed, too.


Erin Gallagher

Erin’s words ring true for everyone on this page:

Whatever’s worth its salt in what I offer, or create, is nothing I can take credit for anyways.  I am here as

a spiritual peer and a Divine witness to this journey called Life.

For Erin, the hands-on practical journey in life includes facilitating others’ healing through myofascial release, group work, and spiritual peership – much much more here. The over-arching truth is that human kindness is alive and well in Erin’s work and life walk, in her heart for community and for service.

Steven Morrison

Steven is known in certain circles as a recovering psychotherapist, author, and creator of Spiritual Workout®.  He has been practicing and facilitating this work for 25 years, and with more than 100,000 hours of clinical/practical experience, he has cultivated a mastery of it.

Steven does what he does because he has learned, unequivocally, that we humans don’t have to suffer.  None of us, for any reason.  No matter who we are, what race we are, what gender (if you have one) no matter what religion or socioeconomic background we come from, no matter what our struggles are, we can change our lives and make them happy with this practice. That’s because none of this practice is made up or new.  It’s ancient.  It’s what all the gurus and authors and teachers and religions and philosophies and spiritual disciplines have always said.  Steven does this work because it’s time to anchor it all into our daily life experiences.

Mostly, however, Steven does this work for an incredibly selfish reason:  he wants to live in a world that works for everyone.
