Erika Alvarez

Early Childhood Assistant

Erika’s journey into the Waldorf community began in 2011, when her daughters started Kindergarten.

Originally from Querétaro, Mexico, she was raised in a deeply holistic family, where she cultivated a lifelong passion for alternative practices such as yoga, nutrition, meditation, astrology, and ancestral traditions—all of which remain central to her lifestyle. She has a BA in Marketing from the Universidad de Valle de Mexico.

Over the years, Erika has participated in numerous workshops, events, and festivals focused on holistic education and spiritual growth. Her Waldorf training includes studies at Escuela Waldorf de Cuernavaca in Mexico. Professionally, she has served as a substitute Spanish teacher and Kindergarten assistant at the Austin Waldorf School, and more recently, worked for almost 5 years at Raphael Springs LLC.

Erika is also a passionate astrologer with nearly 40 years of experience. She currently divides her time between spending quality time with her teenagers, teaching, offering astrology workshops, and enjoying her favorite hobbies: swimming, yoga, and gardening.
