Erika Gagnon is a Canadian ceremonial leader, wisdom keeper & healer, who has dedicated over half her life to working with Indigenous elders from North & South America, specifically in the U.S. Mexico, Ecuador & Peru,  and with their ancestral ceremonies, altars and medicinal plants.  

She is honored to have received their blessings to continue their traditions, and leads temazcal (sweat lodge), tobacco, water blessing and healing ceremonies, as well personal healing sessions.

Erika honors all of the ancestors of her multi-racial lineage, which include French-Canadian, Japanese and a small amount of Indigenous First Nations. She does not identify as First Nations, and states that the wisdom and ceremonies she carries come from her 30 year walk on a Red Road & medicine path with Indigenous elders.

Erika is often asked if she is a medicine woman or a shaman… her reply? She believes that the term “medicine woman” is extremely overused these days, that a “shaman” is a specific healing lineage from Mongolia and Siberia, and that a healer does not heal others, but helps others remember how to heal themselves. She believes that individual healing is the collective healing we need during these times.
