Meet Erin Copenhaver

Erin is a Physician Assistant, Certified Health Coach and Co-Owner of Rising Tide Wellness. She is also a student of life, never-ceasing pursuer of growth and mother of two vibrant teenagers. 

After starting her career in allergy, asthma and immunology, her own long-term health struggles led her to a specialty in functional medicine where she truly found a purpose in helping others who were not being heard in the conventional medical system. It became a mission to keep people from suffering like she had.

Once partnering with friend and Nurse Practioner colleague Gene Blake seven years years ago, the two began dreaming of an innovative way to deliver healthcare. Those dreams came to fruition in early 2022 with the birth of Rising Tide Wellness. Through Rising Tide, they and their team have build a community of people all over the state of South Carolina seeking to create health and wellness in their mind, bodies and spirits in order to be able to have each person rise to their own highest potential in service of helping lift those around them. 

Erin achieved her undergraduate education at the University of Michigan and pursued her Masters at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. She is Board Certified by the Institute for Functional Medicine. After living and practicing in New York City in her 20's, Erin moved with her family to Charleston in 2008. Through a separation and divorce in the last 5 years, Erin began the journey of self-discovery that has led to work with energy practitioners, coaches and mastermind groups all over the country. She is an avid traveler, and specifically loves spending time in Austin, Texas. As a Sagittarius and "Manifesting Generator" she is constantly looking for new adventures and horizons!
