About Erin Middleton
About Me
Hi, I’m Erin Middleton
I’m a transformational coach who mentors creative empaths to embrace their sensitivity as a profound strength and valuable superpower. I believe empowered empaths—who experience deep belonging, trust their intuition, and live guided by their extra-sensory knowing—are uniquely positioned to inspire compassionate change in the world.
My Journey
Born an intuitive empath and introvert, I understand how overwhelming it can feel to navigate this world as a sensitive soul. I’ve lived the journey from feeling “too sensitive” and carrying the weight of trauma to discovering that my sensitivity is my greatest gift.
Now, I help empaths like you release emotional blocks, trust your intuition, and step boldly into the world as the heart-centered, soul-led empath you were always meant to be.
My Expertise
For decades, I’ve been guiding people to transform and thrive—first as a teacher and environmental artist, and later as a trauma-informed therapeutic foster parent to over 300 teen boys. I’m also a certified Compassion Key practitioner, with:
- A Bachelor’s and Master’s degree from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago
- A Master’s in Educational Leadership from Portland State University
- Behavioral therapy training from my work as a therapeutic foster parent
My work is grounded in trauma-informed practices, creative exploration, and intuitive tools to support deep healing and growth.
Beyond Coaching
When I’m not mentoring empaths, you’ll find me exploring the human experience through astrology, energy work, and tarot, or connecting with nature by swimming in lakes and gazing at the sky. I also love Korean TV and music, singing harmony, painting with friends, and capturing moments through fine art photography.
Let’s Connect
If you’re ready to transform your sensitivity into your greatest strength, I’d love to walk this journey with you.
