Erin Tongue is a Family Nurse Practitioner at The Franz Center and an Identity Change Expert. After overcoming her own health crisis six years ago, she realized that her health had improved because she had aligned her subconscious identity with her ideal external health habits- this was the winning combination for lasting change. Erin helps people who are struggling to think, feel and act differently, regardless of how eager they are to change, but inevitably, end up right back where they started. Unlike other behavior change models that focus only on external habit change, Erin takes a deep dive into her client's subconscious identity to reveal what is controlling their thoughts, feelings and actions. Regardless of what identity Erin's clients want to change (parent, spouse, career, health, etc.) she helps them understand how it was established, how it keeps them stuck, and step-by-step instructions for identity transformation, even when it feels impossible. Change your subconscious identity, change your life!
