Erica Henderson is a children's book author, a professionally trained dancer, & certified doula based in Texas. The proud god-mommy to two emotion-driven grade-schoolers, she's witnessed the delicate & powerful ways that feelings guide actions. Henderson believes that the key to emotional health is found in who we surround ourselves with & how we handle our own sensibilities. Appropriately, the journey to this emotional health starts in childhood. She hopes to equip the heartbeats of the future - children - with the practical tools to address heart wounds before, during, & after they arrive, so that children more confidently understand themselves & their authority over heavy-felt feelings. Her first children's book, Acire's Journey to Forgiveness Mountain, is an imaginative take on the emotional lessons she's personally learned. Told through the voyage of seven-year-old Acire and her butterfly friend, Omni, Henderson uses her own mountaintop discoveries to help the little human audience at large and the adults not unlike herself who may need a repeat reminder on emotional health and freedom.
