How Earning A Ph.D. Has Helped Erika Mateus Build Her Business

Erika’s Journey: From Colombia to the United States

Since she arrived in the United States from Colombia 20 years ago, Erika has aspired to make a piece of the American Dream hers. She started her career in Colombia and moved to the United States because she “wanted to have the world” in her hands.

After moving, Erika became a licensed clinical social worker from USC and fell in love with the new life she created. Erika initially worked for the Veteran’s Administration Service from 2013 until 2019. Her work with clients sparked her interest in analyzing “why we think in a certain way and feel in a certain way”. Through this experience, she realized she wanted to work in a different setting and with all kinds of people.

However, while she was satisfied with her work, Erika felt that at 44, it was never too late to learn something new and start another adventure, setting her on a path that led to Quantum University.

Discovering the Power of Quantum Medicine

Through her work, Erika served many people who experienced depression and anxiety. She began to understand that many mental health and general life issues we experience can be understood as a part of one of these two conditions. Therefore, whatever steps we can take to address those two conditions will help to improve our lives overall.

Erika’s approach to treating these ailments is unique and emphasizes how thoughts can create our reality. Even before her experience with Quantum University, she was interested in how our interaction with this unseen level of reality affects outcomes for our lives.

While working with clients, Erika adopted cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as her preferred approach to resolving mental health issues. Through CBT, she was able to help her clients better understand the power of their thoughts and actions to manifest the reality they wanted for themselves. In her daily work, Erika could see how thoughts manifest reality and helped clients use this power.

This understanding of the malleable nature of reality primed Erika for the next step in her life. After attending many seminars, coaching programs, and similar events, Erika became very interested in quantum physics.

Erika Opens Her Private Practice

After working for several years as a therapist in the VA, Erika decided she wanted to launch a private practice with the goal to serve a broader clientele and in 2019, she made this dream a reality.

Erika first launched her private practice while living in Louisiana attracting diverse clients and was able to start helping others lead more fulfilling lives. Just as Erika’s business was taking off, the pandemic hit, forcing her to shut her doors. However, she was able to adapt quickly to this new reality.

Erika moved her services online, where she saw that many people were spending more of their lives than ever. She found success in this new space and could remotely offer her services to a vast array of clients interested in her mind-body approach to mental health.

As she spent more time online, she also attended lectures and seminars exploring quantum space and how this theory can affect our lives.

Eventually, Erika discovered Quantum University and began the journey of a lifetime.

Quantum University: A New Approach

Erika believed that she could help her clients gain control of their own lives and physically manifest their desired reality. As it turned out, her approach dovetailed neatly with what she would learn about the nature of reality through Quantum University.

She discovered Quantum University as the world turned online for recreation, dating, shopping, and just about every daily activity. She felt it could give her the expertise she thought she needed to build her practice fully. Erika was drawn to Quantum University through a bit of serendipity. She’s always loved Hawaii and had a dream to open a spa there. As she’s aware of the power of manifestation, it wasn’t lost on her when she saw that Quantum University is based in Hawaii. For Erika, she and Quantum University were a match made by the power of her intentions!

While she had spent years researching the mind-body connection and how our thoughts can manifest reality, she hadn’t yet had formal training in quantum medicine. Through Quantum University, Erika discovered the work of many of the quantum healing field’s most cutting-edge researchers and writers. Among her favorites was Dr. Amit Goswami, whose novel approach to quantum medicine validated many of the methods Erika took in her practice and opened her mind to even more possibilities of quantum healing.

With the expertise she gained from the program, Erika finally had a more robust body of knowledge and practical experience that could help her assist clients with quantum medicine. Quantum University helped to confirm for Erika that her desire to take her services online was the right move for her client’s needs and business. 

The Power of a PhD 

Through Quantum University, Erika gained various skills that allowed her to better connect with clients, enrich her personal life, and grow her business.

Connecting with Clients

Learning vast new knowledge has ultimately allowed her to connect better with her clients. This has helped her to better communicate with clients to understand their problems and to identify the course of treatment that is best for their needs. She offers standard mental health care treatments and quantum medicine in her practice. Some clients prefer one course of treatment over the other, while some want to explore the results they can get from both. Thanks to Quantum University, Erika can navigate both worlds and lead her clients to the desired treatment. 

Erika’s Favorite Quantum University Courses

Erika truly enjoyed her Quantum University experience and had several favorite classes while she attended. Among her favorites were courses by Quantum University’s founder, Dr. Paul Drouin, along with leading quantum medicine authors and practitioners such as Dr. Joe Dispenza, and Dr. Amit Gatoswami. 

The class that stood out the most for Erika, was “New Quantum Medicine”, by Dr. Paul Drouin.  Erika believes that this class changed her life and her entire perspective of healing as it was a compilation of everything she wanted to learn – chakras, how thoughts create your reality, and how energy is accessed. To this day, Erika keeps the entire curriculum of this course on hand to refer back to time and time again. 

Quantum University and Erika’s Personal Improvement

Erika found that every aspect of her experience at Quantum University supported her personal development. All of her classes impacted her healthcare journey and business. Her experience at Quantum University helped her better understand her thought processes and their underlying motivations. With this understanding, Erika could better assess the reality she was creating around her and take steps to adjust it as necessary.

Quantum University helped Erika become more introspective and circumspect in her own life. With greater wisdom, Erika could also provide deeper insight into her clients’ lives and point them in productive directions to achieve their goals.

Striving to Serve Her Clients Better 

With her new expertise, Erika was better able to connect with clients and help them navigate their emotions and the energy they may be putting out in their lives. In addition to her natural aptitude for detecting such energies, her time with Quantum University exposed her to the latest theories, discoveries, and methodologies in the quantum medicine field.

Erika found that connecting with her clients took on an even more substantive element now that she could fully explore the quantum aspect of their mental wellness problems. Her education also gave her more ways to introduce people to a field that some remain skeptical about.

Achieving Business Success

Quantum University’s online element also assisted Erika with her practice, as she saw just how complete of an experience someone could have online. Her experience reaffirmed her faith in the power of remote learning and remote therapy, which she can offer to more people than she could reach in her office.

Next Steps For Erika: After Quantum University

Erika plans on continuing her unique combination of CBT with quantum medicine. Now that she has a professional education in quantum medicine, she feels more confident in helping navigate her clients through their personal experiences, giving them the best chance to heal and become the people they want to be. She’s eager to continue connecting with her clients and helping them achieve their full potential with the skills and knowledge she’s gained from Quantum University.C
