The Therapist that moves you...meet Erica Hornthal!

Be Kind 5 is excited to share our latest Kindness Warrior with you!

Meet Erica Hornthal, an internationally renowned dance/movement therapist, a licensed clinical professional counselor, board-certified dance/movement therapist, and author with a thriving practice supporting individuals all over the world on a journey to re-discover their mind-body connection.   Erica’s area of expertise has caught the attention of multiple publications such as The New York Times, The Epoch Times, Dance Magazine, Reader's Digest, and PARADE.  She is the author of the Body Awareness for Mental Health Course (Human Kinetics, 2021), Body Aware: Rediscover Your Mind-Body Connection, Stop Feeling Stuck, and Improve Your Mental Health with Simple Movement Practices (North Atlantic Books, 2022), and The Movement Therapy Card Deck: 52 Mindful Movement Exercises to Regulate Your Nervous System and Process Trauma (North Atlantic Books, March 2024).

Erica is really passionate about teaching people that the body holds answers to questions the mind doesn't even know to ask. We place so much importance on the mind, but it is the body and our movement that precedes all thoughts. In order to change our thoughts we must become more aware of our movement and body at any given moment. Erica has built a following that embraces the power of movement for mental health.

Be Kind 5’s mission is about introducing humans creating empowering ways to take care of our bodies and minds! Kindness Warriors like Erica support us in taking small steps for big changes and we are truly grateful for her!

Thank you Erica for being you and shining your light on our world!
