Nutritional Consulting and Holistic Approaches
Does your diet provide everything you need? Are your supplements doing any good? Are there gaps in your nutritional program? Are you overdoing anything? Are you overweight? Tired? Lacking mental clarity? Have a chronic disease such as cancer, heart disease or diabetes? Your body has the answers! Using a very accurate diagnostic tool Erica can help you find out what your body needs because all of the answers lie inside you. Your skin, fingernails, aches, discomforts, annoyances, energy level, mood, memory, appetite, bowels, body weight, sleep patterns, cravings all provide valuable clues about your unique nutritional needs. There is not another person that is exactly like YOU. You need to give your body exactly what it needs. Together we will custom tailor an effective nutritional program that will suit YOU and your body!
Consultations are either a health visit in office or a health session via the phone. Read our recent interview on Seacoast Online.
“I can eat food now and I owe it all to Erica Rock! It all started with being poked, prodded and looked at by my general family doctor, who just said “oh its normal”, its just digestion. Okay, I thought maybe I just have a more sensitive stomach, and digestion is painful…. I guess, I mean i was young so I went with it. When It didn’t stop I went back again they said oh again ” it’s normal”, but we can give you an xray if you want. Went for xrays, and as they expected, nothing… again, “Its all normal.” After that I just learned what I could and could not eat, and may I say what I could eat was …very limiting, grilled chicken, white rice and tomato soup were my best friend, but mind you the chicken could have no seasoning, and god forbid the rice or soup have any cheese in it. A year or so went by, and by now I’m probably 14, nothing is getting any better, again I start to complain to my mom that my stomach is ALWAYS upset, there were times i would literally be getting sick in the bathroom for a few days in a row, because i could keep nothing in my stomach. We again went to see the doctors and specialists, again they say, its nothing its just ” GROWING PAINS” ….. growing pains, really?! That’s a new one! By now I’m sick of doctors and their bad diagnoses and explanations of the pain, I decide its just something I will have to live with and get on with life. Years down the road I start taking a Reiki class in Dover, NH with Erica Rock, and she mentions being a nutritionist. I have never even thought about that avenue for my stomach problems, maybe this is finally the answer! After one amazingly informative appointment with Erica I was on my way to recovery! After all these years and all these appointments no one could ever tell me what she did in one, two hour sitting! As a very young child, my family had a small farm, and I insisted on NEVER wearing shoes… and come to find out that is the perfect way for parasitic worms, for the farm animals, to enter my body. After a year of intensive, herbal supplements and body cleanses I am VERY happy to say, at 23 years old, I can EAT FOOD! I can sit down at a restaurant and order whatever I choose and not have to think how sick I am going to get from the seasoning or toppings, and I owe that all to Erica! “

Intuitive Nutrition classes and sessions with Erica Rock
Learn how to properly discern what foods are right for you. What foods strengthen you and are life supportive. Which foods are neutral for you or ones that are poisonous for your particular body. We need to learn to stop eating addictively and eat what is right for OUR bodies, not buying into the next fad or diet. With 3/4′s of the US population being obese and billions of dollars spent on dieting obviously what most are participating in is not effective. How someone else eats may not be right for you either. So come and truly step into your own mastery and learn a simple method for telling what foods will serve you the best. Once you learn this valuable tool you can easily teach it to others. You will also be able to use this technique to help you pick out herbal remedies, supplements, essential oils etc. This method is not muscle testing. It is quick, easy and simple. It will help you take the guess work out of what you should be eating. This method will help strengthen your connection to your innate inner knowing, will flex those muscles of discernability that can carry on into many facets of your life.
I retained my Holistic Healthcare Practitioner Certification from the Global College of Natural Medicine. I HIGHLY recommend their programs. I am required by law to have this disclaimer : Though I have found this type of care effective, it is not a replacement for medical care by a licensed professional.
Now I can continue: with the costs of health care and health care coverage, many are not insured or underinsured. Prescription medications are costly. The fact is we are all 100% responsible for our health.
The tuition at this school is very reasonable and arms you with the knowledge you need to keep yourself healthy. Taking the courses for your own health and well being alone would save you thousands over the course of a lifetime. Not to mention being able to assist your loved ones and friends. GCNM has several programs to choose from. The studies are very comprehensive and the classes intense, but it is a home study program so you can go at your own pace and is perfect for people in the normal working world!

Nutrition Testimonials
Back in July of 2007, I received a telephone call from Erica Rock who was given my name by Shawn Shapiro, DC. She explained that she starting a Nutrition/Holistic program through his office where I had been receiving services since he opened his practice. I did not hesitate to work with her as Dr. Shapiro has been a wonderful asset to my continuing journey towards better health! I knew he would only refer me to someone that could help me in my journey.
I have been seeing Erica since then. She has helped me learn about my health/body. The suggestions she has made for the foods I should be consuming have been great. I was having many digestive problems and was on prescriptions from my Primary Care Physician which helped as long as I took them daily. I no longer have to take the prescriptions! I also went into this nutritional program knowing I needed to loose weight however my main goal was to feel better! And that I do. The weight is coming off very slowly, however inches are coming off even faster. I am wearing clothing sizes that I have not seen in years.
Changing a lifestyle can be cumbersome and Erica has been right there to support me in every way. She really listens and hears what I say and gives great suggestions for meals, snacks, exercise and books to read for support and more. If you are looking for a wealth of nutritional information and support I highly recommend Erica! I would also be very willing to talk directly to anyone who is hesitant about starting their journey to better health.
Thank You Erica…and Thank You Shawn for adding her to your resources in your office! She is a wonderful addition.

Erica Rock has me given direction on how and what foods to eat to restore my body back towards it’s natural balance. Her plan is created specifically for my body. In the first three weeks I lost seven pounds and I have noticed a difference in how my clothing fits. She has been readily available by phone and e-mail if I have any questions or need support. I have a long way to go, but Erica has put me on a path towards wellness.

I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue over 10 years ago and in those years I have been to so many Doctors and Specialists that it makes my head spin. I was referred to Shawn by my Mother who had been seeing him and I have to say I was hesitant about going after hearing so many negative things about chiropractors. After seeing how well she was doing I decided to try it, what did I have to lose and if I could get my back better then that was one good thing. Little did I realize I was on my way to much more then just “getting my back cracked“. First let me say I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for Shawn who took the time to work with me and see what could be done, he really and truly was listening to me. I could see that he goes the extra mile for his patients and truly cares about each and every person he meets. He put me on the road to recovery by working long and hard so I can now stand and sit without pain, but that was only the beginning. I had been telling Shawn about my symptoms which included sleeping all the time but waking up exhausted and missing so much over the years with my children as I just couldn’t stay awake and had no energy at all. I was having brain fog, memory loss, depression, achy joints, cravings that were horrible and along with that quite a bit of weight gain, I just couldn’t get out of my own way. Shawn explained that many times when your body is out of whack (my words, not his) can effect your health and that many things I was taking for my Chronic Fatigue might be making a negative effect on my body. Shawn referred me to Erica and at first I resisted as I was worried this was one more thing I would be talked into and would cost me an arm and a leg with no results. Then finally I agreed to meet Erica, from the first time I met her I knew she was going to be different from anyone else I had seen about my health. She is kind, compassionate and very understanding as to what you are going through. She wasn’t just throwing pills at me or telling me to see a psychiatrist as so many others had done in the past, She is knowledgeable and proficient in everything she does, yet she is so sincere, down to earth and very intuitive to your needs. She amazes me and also my family as they have seen a difference since I have been seeing her. The fog is lifting, the achy pains are subsiding, the cravings are slowly decreasing. Although I know it will take time, for the first time in many years Erica has given me the hope and belief that I will feel and be like “ME” again but only better and healthier. It is so refreshing to have someone really care about what they do and I feel so fortunate to have that in both Erica and Shawn.”
Thank you so very much,

Working with Erica Rock was personalized from the get go. She deals with you one on one and personalizes a nutritional meal plan to suit your lifestyle, goals, and medical conditions. She has taught me some easy tricks of how to incorporate more water into my day. Erica is genuinely concerned about how to improve your life using natural foods and supplements. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to improve or transform their nutrition and thinking about healthy living. Through following her advice I have improved my energy and mental clarity while ridding myself of dizziness and fatigue. My main
goal was to prevent diabetes type 2 and I feel I am well on my way.” A. P NH“Timing was the key to a great start for the rest of my life. Being over 50, it isn’t easy starting something new, but when I heard about Erica and a Health Survey with a plan to be nutritionally healthy and fit, I thought perhaps this might help me.
For the previous 6-9 months before meeting Erica, I had been sick every single afternoon. Erica explained that the combination of foods I was eating was wreaking havoc in my digestive system. A few simple changes in my diet, adding whole foods and eliminating pre-packaged and “diet” foods, certain system cleansings, some whole food supplements, and lots more water, put me on the road to recovery. Within 10 days I was feeling dramatically better. I started to loose the weight I had been trying to loose for years.
Exercise has always been difficult for me to stick with a regiment for any length of time. Feeling better on the inside, physically and mentally, and with a bit of encouraging from Erica, (truthfully, maybe more than a bit or encouraging) exercise has now become part of my daily routine. I feel fantastic!
Erica’s genuine concern for each person’s inner and outer being is real. Her energy radiates to others. Her holistic approach was key to my confidence in her.
I have to say, THANK YOU, Erica, for helping me feel so much better!!!” J.K. NY
“Just an update on my eating. It has been relatively easy, and I have been doing really well. I have lost 11 pounds, but it isn’t even about the weight. I feel better, food isn’t a focus in my life anymore, and I am anxious to see how the cholesterol and blood pressure thing is doing. I have to say that it is pretty expensive to eat healthy. I will be glad when fruits and veggies are in markets and in my garden! The best thing–I don’t crave sweets!! For me, that is a miracle! I would sneak chocolate and Oreos. Pretty sad. I don’t even go through those aisles at the store anymore. Thanks for setting me straight and getting me on the right path.” M.H. ME
