Erin Mantis

Your ATHI Creator and Lead ATHI Coach

I am a Coach in this course and program and Clinical Psychologist licensed and based in Ontario, with over 25 years of experience in the field of psychology and addictions. Since 2006, I have been in private practice and currently serve as the Clinical Director at Recovery Counselling Services (RCS) in Toronto, ON. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with individuals, couples, families, supervising practitioners and facilitating groups. I am now excited and inspired to work as a Certified Spiritual Coach to many more individuals on their personal journey or as a Coach to Practitioners for those working in the health and helping fields. Although I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist in Ontario, Canada, I am not providing psychological services or therapy through this coaching program. Coaching services are intended only for personal and professional development, and are not a substitute for mental health care.

SKILLS & EXPERTISE

My training has allowed me to draw from my experience and skill set into coaching appropriate strategies from a range of evidence-based approaches while integrating the unique ideas and tools that have culminated into ATHI:

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Humanistic and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)
IMAGO and Systemic Family Therapy
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Mindfulness-Based Practices
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET)
Positive Psychology, Biopsychosocial, and Eclectic Frameworks.
Master in Spiritual Coaching Certification

Through my training and career, I have come to deeply understand the internal struggles we all carry. The patterns of shame, disconnection, guilt, fear, and perfectionism that often live beneath the surface. Over time, I began to see clear parallels between these blocks or wounds and the Chakra system, offering a powerful lens to explore emotional and spiritual alignment.

This insight sparked the creation of ATHI. A holistic, Chakra-informed program that blends my background in psychology, energy work, and personal reflection. Originally developed as a tool to support my clients, ATHI has grown into a comprehensive system supported by empirically validated practices such as assessments, guided meditations, journaling, affirmations, and projective exercises. It now serves both practitioners for their clients and individuals looking for deeper self-awareness, healing, and transformation.

On a more personal note, I have been married for 24 years, I am mom to three teenagers, a daughter, a sister, involved extended family member, and human to three spirited dogs. I am active in my community, love volunteering for causes close to my heart, and maintain a strong connection to physical wellness through fitness and movement. Like many of you, I strive to find balance between my personal, family, and professional roles. I continue to work on my own healing through the very tools I teach in ATHI, walking the same imperfect path of growth and integration.

As a Coach and fellow traveler on this journey, it’s my honour to walk alongside others through their most pivotal transitions. The ATHI program is a reflection of that shared journey, a creative and meaningful expression of what is possible when we align with our deepest truths and commit to living with authenticity, love, compassion, and curiosity.
