ABOUT The Embodied Approach
It is a philosophy that emphasizes the union of psychological and physiological elements. As athletes, we cannot simply rise above our own consciousness -- the body and mind are intertwined, interrelated, and mutually influential.
All athletes are different! I want to work cooperatively with you to create a program that will benefit you according to the experiences and knowledge you bring with you.

I have worked with athletes and coaches since 2015 in improving their mental performance through sport psychology.
I apply my experience as an elite athlete as well as my experience coaching athletes to my consulting practice.
Competing internationally at a competitive level, I can relate to the different factors that competition demands from athletes. Competition is unique and is highly difficult (if not impossible!) to mimic. I acknowledge that different sports, skill levels, and abilities involve different needs. I am passionate about understanding what aspects of your sport influence you and your performance.
My research specializes in social media's affect on athletes' performances
