Mental Health with Training & Recovery

There is an unspoken need of focus on mental health and holistic wellness in the process of healing, building self-worth in training, and developing a healthy balance of both perseverance and gentleness in recovery. As a former Division 1 rower, my own relationship with athletics and wellness has evolved through experience with injuries, Physical recovery and then intrinsic healing. The power of embodiment awareness and clinical therapy skillfully connected can be transformational to to an athlete's performance, efficacy of mind-set, and vitality of emotional health after injuries. 

Connection with athletes or coaches, team or fitness leaders, will all benefit from trauma-sensitive approaches for group or personal growth. Mental health awareness is pivotal in these elite physically and emotionally challenging environments, as are strategies to maintain, regulate and nervous system support through embodiment practices from internal and external stressors.
