Who I Am
I am a lifelong learner, anatomy nerd, lover of the outdoors and passionate, vulnerable healthcare provider.
a little bit about me…
I find joy in podcasts, photography, nature walks, gardening and learning about fascia and anatomy. Following the lunar cycle has been life-changing and parenting is both my greatest challenge and delight. Nothing beats an e-bike ride on a summer evening with music blasting. I am a recovering perfectionist and worrier.
I have been part of the Upper Valley for over a decade and now live in Canaan with my husband, our 2 sons and 2 dogs!
I am a certified Professional Yoga Therapist (PYT) as well as a certified and NH licensed Athletic Trainer (AT), having started my practice in 2007. Daily life and work continually expand my toolbox as I walk this path of embodiment, healing and living a full, active life alongside you.
How did I get here?…
Originally from Connecticut, I’ve loved movement, the outdoors and anatomy since childhood — passions that led me to a career in athletic training. I earned a Bachelor’s of Science in Athletic Training and Sports Medicine from Quinnipiac University (Summa Cum Laude, 2008) and a Master’s of Science from the University of Kentucky (Cum Laude, 2010).
My yoga journey began in 2007 during college, where I was drawn to its slower pace and inward focus. After a knee injury in 2012, I found Ginger Garner and the PYT Institute, and yoga became central to my physical, emotional and psychological healing. This experience led me to pursue a PYT certification and shift from traditional athletic training to a more holistic approach. I now work with people of all ages and backgrounds, blending yoga with principles from the Pentagon of Wellness and the Biopsychosocial Model.
After five years in a fitness setting and teaching yoga on the side, I launched Erin McCabe Wellness. Now, I work full-time with clients in person or virtually, offering private and group sessions that honor each person’s unique, layered story.
In 2018, I began working in medical cannabis, which reignited my interest in research and introduced me to a new model of care and patient population. Curious about the therapeutic benefits of CBD or CBG? Reach out - I'm happy to share more!
Each chapter of my journey has been a stepping stone, creating a (mostly) clear path to what’s next. Discovering new areas of interest and communities to support lead me to working with women, those who are perinatal or are primary caregivers of children. I believe pregnancy, birth and parenting are among the toughest athletic feats — and I’m passionate about serving this community.
At the core of all my work are two constants: a love for supporting all bodies and a deep focus on breath.

What I
Believe In
I can stand on a lot of soap boxes. A few of them are: perinatal support must improve, every human body is amazing, and knowledge is key for empowerment.
My two cents…
I believe health and wellness is an active, accessible journey for everyone. It’s driven by consistency, intention and curiosity, with connection to Self at its core. What you do matters less than when, how or why you do it — mindset and intention make the difference. Physical wellness is just one piece of the puzzle, and while it can be a great place to start your healing journey it often is not the whole path.
We are multilayered beings that each need a slightly different recipe for wellness or embodied wholeness. Finding practices that resonate, feel safe and encourage connection to the Self increases embodiment. Embodiment can lead to empowerment and increased self-awareness, which then increases agency and understanding of our individual and collective needs. You then become an active participant in your healthcare and wellness journey with the most important information for YOU. The more you connect to yourself and your humanity, the more you’ll be able to connect to all beings and your environment.
Wellness is something that is inherently human regardless of your skin color, sexual orientation, gender identity, financial standing or mental and physical capabilities. I welcome the opportunity to work with all bodies of all abilities and if I don’t think I am the best equipped to work with you, I will help to refer you to someone else.
I am an active member of Building Allyship and I have taken the Anti-Racist Small Business Pledge.

What I Do
Embodiment practices can look different for each individual and should cater to what feels best for you, setting you on your path to better support and wellness.
what does working with me look like?…
Each 1:1 session, class or workshop is different. However, the foundation of my work always involves assessments, focus on breathing, core and alignment to connect inward, collaboration between the person or people in the room, explanation about the area we are working on or the reason for what we’re doing, and reassessments with a focus on the process not the final outcome. Progress matters more than perfection or achievement.
My mission as a healthcare and service professional is to share the power and benefits of self-care healthcare through embodiment practices (breathing, rolling/self myofascial release, yoga therapy, yoga nidra/non-sleep deep rest, Ayurveda, and movement/mobility).
My style of teaching is intentional and focuses on alignment while inviting you to listen to your mind, body and breath. Curiosity, non-judgement and self-discovery are words you will hear me use in just about every class or private session. I hope that you always leave class or your session feeling as though you have learned something new and created some space.
