From bold editorial looks to effortless everyday glam, she believes makeup is more than just artistry, it’s empowerment.

Erin O'Rourke is the founder of Tula Life Discoveries. For years, Erin helped women build physical strength through movement—guiding them to push through challenges and show up for themselves. But a major turning point in her own life revealed something deeper: true strength isn’t just physical—it’s mental, emotional, and spiritual.

Like many women, Erin faced moments of identity loss and self-doubt, wondering, Who am I now? That’s when she turned to breathwork, meditation, and deep mindset work. What she discovered was a new way to live—with clarity, presence, and authentic confidence.

Erin supports women navigating life transitions—empty nesting, menopause, career shifts, or simply feeling stuck. She helps them clear the mental clutter, reconnect with their purpose, and rediscover joy.
