My educational background and field experience plays a large role in the person and professional I am today. Having experience as a NCAA Division 1 college athlete and a Performance Coach, I understand the demands of performance on both the mind and the body. An advanced degree and training in Sport and Exercise Psychology has enabled me to look more deeply at these demands and understand what strategies are best suited to successfully address them.

I have spent 15 years working in the sport and fitness industry and have seen the impact that having limited coping skills has on a persons ability to work through setbacks, unexpected changes, low self-confidence and high-stress situations. Using scientifically proven HRV (Heart Rate Variability) Training I have been able to arm people with tools they need to help their minds and bodies adapt to stress.

My FEMALE EMPOWERMENT programs are specifically designed to help females, both athletes and not, start to bring awareness to how their thoughts and emotions affect their day-to-day lives and how they can handle the unique challenges they face as females living in today’s society. Once aware, we can develop the skills needed to rewrite our stories and become more confident in our choices and our selves.

One of my core beliefs is that while we may experience moments of weakness and doubt, we have a unique strength within us, always. My mission is to help people find their STRENGTH and harness it into POWER and CONFIDENCE.
