ThePathfinder CIC is a trauma-informed wellness organisation based in Tayside, Scotland, founded by Lynn Erasmus, author, TEDx speaker, somatic, trauma-informed coach and facilitator. Our mission is bold and deeply human: to transform trauma into happily ever after, through creating safe spaces within ourselves.
We believe trauma should never be a life sentence. Yet too many individuals, especially women and vulnerable communities, remain stuck in cycles of shame, anxiety, burnout, and emotional disconnection. That’s why we created an integrative hub of healing, blending science, soul, and somatic wisdom.
Through a unique mix of group acupuncture, guided meditations, somatic trauma release, and coaching, we work with people to regulate their nervous systems, reclaim their stories, and rise into self-leadership.
Our services include:
1:1 Somatic Trauma Sessions
Group Acu-Lounge Healing Spaces
Personal Development & Trauma-Informed Workshops
The REBEL Online Platform (launching 2025)
Retreats, training, and coaching programs designed for sustainable change
We work with individuals navigating adversity, professionals seeking clarity, and communities needing accessible, embodied healing. Our work is grounded in the Scottish Government’s trauma-informed principles: safety, trust, empowerment, collaboration, and choice.
At the heart of Pathfinder is a movement — #1milREBELsBy2030 — to support one million people in becoming Resilient, Empathetic, Breaking rules (of trauma), Evolving, and Learning to Lighten Up.
We build brave spaces. And in those spaces, healing becomes possible.
