Meet Erica

Dr. Erica M Basilio, DACM, Dipl.OM, LAc., LMT

Rooted in the healing arts, Erica's journey began in massage therapy, crafting a foundation of touch-based wellness. The tapestry of her life extended into embracing the profound principles of acupuncture furthering her expertise in energy balance and holistic health. Delving into the world of Chinese herbal medicine, Erica seamlessly integrated herbal remedies into her practice, adding depth to personalized care.

Beyond the treatment room, her heart finds solace in the embrace of nature, particularly the ocean. With an outrigger paddle in hand, Erica discovered a meditation in motion, a dance with the waves that speaks to the fluidity of life. On solid ground, the fiery game of Pickleball brings joy, adding a touch of spirited camaraderie, a reminder that joy resides in the shared moments of play, and connecting her with the community in the shared connection of active, vibrant living.

These diverse passions converge in a mosaic that defines Erica- a healer who finds inspiration in the intersection of ancient wisdom, the healing touch, and the beauty of activity in nature. Passionate about merging ancient healing traditions with a love of nature's rhythms, Erica is dedicated to fostering wellness on multiple levels, both within and beyond the therapeutic space. Her journey isn't just a profession; it's a heartfelt commitment to harmony, balance, at the pursuit of a life well-lived.
