The Woman Behind the Work

I'm Erica Carter Folk — NLP Trainer, Master Hypnotherapist, Breathwork Facilitator, and the creator of the Inner Sanctuary™ Method and Hypno-Breath Fusion™.

But before all those credentials? I was you.

I survived a narcissistic marriage. I know what it's like to:


Mistake trauma bonding for passion

Confuse hypervigilance with intuition

Choose chaos because calm felt "boring"


I didn't just read about nervous system dysregulation. I lived it.

And after 30 years as a special education teacher, raising 11 children, and training in every modality I could find, I finally cracked the code:

You can't think your way into secure attachment. You have to regulate your way there.

That's why I created:


The Inner Sanctuary™ Method — a 12-room framework for healing trauma and rewiring your nervous system from the inside out

Hypno-Breath Fusion™ — my proprietary blend of breathwork, hypnosis, NLP, and somatic practices that gets you out of survival mode and into safety


My work isn't just theory. It's embodied. It's lived. It's proven.

And it's designed for people like you — high-functioning, emotionally intelligent adults who look like they have it all together... but keep ending up in the same painful relationship patterns.

You deserve love that feels calm. Let's build it together.
