Meet Erin Gums

Over the past decade, I’ve been on a journey of self-discovery and healing. After realizing how my childhood trauma showed up in my adult life, personally and professionally, I set out to reconnect to my authentic self and create a more joy-filled life. I felt called to become a coach after experiencing the power coaches had in my journey and seeing that my talents aligned with those of a good coach.

As a coach, I specialize in supporting mission-driven leaders to reconnect with their intuition and live their lives with intention. I bring my training and lived experience to my work with clients, to intuitively meet them where they are and help them create what they most need in the moment.

In addition, I have worked in management consulting, education, and tech. I’m a brand & marketing leader with experience working on blockbuster entertainment brands. I received my BA in Social Anthropology from Harvard, MBA from Berkeley Haas, and a certificate in Healing Centered Coaching from Blooming Willow. 

A proud East Oakland native, I currently live and work in Los Angeles where I am an avid dancer, yogi, and beachgoer.

Healing can require some intense, and at times, heavy work, but equally important is creating room for light-heartedness, joy, and spaciousness. There is room for all of it here in my coaching practice.
