About Me

Hi, I’m Erin Akerson—life coach, academic manager, education and career consultant and someone who believes that the best kind of growth starts with being seen for who you really are.

I work with adults, parents, teens, and professionals who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. Whether you're navigating school, launching or pivoting a career, or just reimagining what life your could look like, I offer coaching that’s deeply personalized—because no two people grow the same way.

I specialize in life transitions, career direction, executive functioning skills and academic planning, especially for neurodivergent individuals and those who feel like traditional systems just weren’t built for them. My job isn’t to hand you a one-size-fits-all solution. It’s to ask the right questions, co-create a path with you, and equip you with tools that actually work for you.

Why I Coach

I’ve spent years working with professionals in burnout, students with anxiety and families struggling to find balance. I have coached across all kinds of educational and life stages—and I’ve seen firsthand how powerful it is when someone finally feels understood, supported, and capable. Coaching gives me the chance to bring strategy, intuition, and care together in one space. It’s where real change happens—not from pressure, but from permission.

My Approach

I don’t coach from a script. I coach from a place of curiosity, creativity, and deep respect for who you are. Sessions are collaborative, focused, and honest. Some days we’re mapping out goals and systems. Other days, we’re pausing to acknowledge the burnout, confusion, or fear that’s been getting in the way. All of it belongs. And all of it moves us forward.

If you’re ready to get unstuck, find your footing, and make decisions that feel like you, I’d love to work together.
