Meet Erin Briley

Erin Briley is a Certified Functional Nutrition Coach whose own experience with recurring back pain led her to discover that there was more influencing how she felt than her back alone.

After three back surgeries, a failed spinal fusion, and a rollover car accident (all in that order!) that led to multiple herniated discs and years of chronic pain, Erin spent years searching for answers. Like many people living with recurring pain, she focused primarily on the structural side of the problem. But over time, she began noticing patterns that seemed to influence her flare-ups, recovery, and overall quality of life.

As she explored the connection between nutrition, lifestyle habits, inflammation, and how her body felt day to day, she experienced significant improvements in her pain levels and ability to stay active. Those discoveries eventually allowed her to return to running, complete multiple triathlons, and finish a half marathon - accomplishments she once thought were no longer possible.

That journey inspired Erin to become a Certified Functional Nutrition Coach so she could help others better understand why their back pain keeps coming back despite doing everything "right."

Erin believes that while medications can play an important role in managing symptoms, recurring back pain often involves more than the back itself. Rather than focusing only on symptom relief, she helps clients explore the nutrition and lifestyle factors that may be influencing how they feel, recover, and experience flare-ups.

As a mom of three children involved in high-level travel sports, Erin understands the challenges of maintaining healthy habits while juggling a busy schedule. She helps clients make realistic, sustainable changes that fit into real life - not rigid rules, complicated protocols, or perfection. Her approach focuses on building momentum through practical habits that can be maintained long term.

Today, Erin combines her personal experience and professional training to help people with recurring back pain understand why their symptoms keep returning despite doing everything "right." Through education, personalized guidance, and practical nutrition and lifestyle strategies, she helps clients uncover overlooked factors that may be contributing to their flare-ups so they can move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
