Grounded in first-hand knowledge and experience, Erika Mankins helps her clients find long-term success and longevity in both career and personal health, with her proactive and preventative approach to wellness.

She understands the many challenges and obstacles that we see affect the construction industry and other blue-collar industries alike. From things like long working hours, being away from home, lack of quality sleep, choosing convivence foods (you know the energy drinks and gas station burritos), all those things take their toll.

She is trained in and aware of the many occupational risks and hazards associated with the line of work, as well as the many daily personal choices, habits and factors that have ultimate influence on our overall health and wellness.

While many blue-collar jobs provide excellent health insurance and benefits, there is a gap and this demographic is still greatly underserved when it comes to health care.

“Taking time off to go see the doctor is not always practical, especially when working out of town, on the road and with deadlines. And even if you do somehow find the time off, we often see that doctors are treating symptoms with prescriptions and not actually addressing the root cause of the problem. Our health care system is broken…we known this… but we have options and can find ways to take control of our health. And it’s not just the health care system, look at the food industry, look at the obesity and diabetes that is directly linked to the food we consume, its terrifying, but we can do something different, we can do something better.”

She invites us to “dig-deep” to uncover the root-cause of our symptoms and underlying problems. She guides us as we learn to make informed choices and sustainable lifestyle shifts. in order to develop healthy life-long habits.

“I didn’t choose construction, it chose me…but health…. health is a conscious choice that I have to make every second of every day and it’s not always easy, but I know that the choices that I make today will most definitely shape my tomorrow, it will affect my quality of my life, as well as affect the quality of life of those around me.

My passion is creating, building and helping others. My passion is watching the sun rise and putting in a hard day’s work. Its campfires and cool summer nights….friends, family, outdoor activities, good food….laughter.

My Passion is REAL. My Passion is DIRT. My Passion is WELLNESS.”
