Mind

You know your mental game can make or break your performance. Learn how to access the full power of your mind for success.

Our beliefs lead to our thoughts, our thoughts guide our behaviors, and our behaviors determine not only our performance, but our lives.

Until we can explore the inner chatter of our mind we are often on autopilot and we cannot achieve our highest potential. Mindful Attention Skills combine traditional mindfulness practices with Energy Psychology techniques for you to unleash past blocks and patterns.  You will move into a new level of confidence, ease, and performance.

ATHLETES

I work with athletes to better understand themselves in order to overcome limiting beliefs, re-frame negative thought patterns, reduce sabotaging behaviors, increase confidence, and hone motivation. We then create both mental strategies and physically boosting pre-game routines for use in the toughest of times! This work results in less stress, more fun, and improved performance!

COACHES

Athletics is about team work and as such I work closely with coaches in order to support their vision and if needed, to help them understand the mental and emotional state of their athlete. By gaining insight into learning styles, emotional motivators, and how the mind and brain interprets input I can help coaches turn their athletes’ Fear into Fight, turn negativity into positive action, and improve feedback, communication and success.

PARENTS

Parenting a competitive athlete, especially one not living at home, is not always easy, The pressures of academy, college or post-graduate life are magnified with training, traveling and competing. I am able to provide the professional insight and support needed for athletes to not only manage but to thrive allowing parents to feel confidence in their child’s well being.

Testimonials

“Throughout my years working with Skye, I have transformed my mental game. Although there’s always work to be done, Skye has helped me improve my life through learning skills to better myself as an athlete and person. With her help, I have learned so much. I am more aware of my thoughts, especially when they are negative so I can change them in order to be productive in both training and life. I now have tricks that help me to be confident, get me pumped up, or simply center me when I’m frustrated or down. As an athlete you are constantly dealing with obstacles. In dealing with frustrating injuries, Skye helped me to stay positive and work through the various emotions that can affect your confidence. With her advice and abundance of information, I have been able to strengthen my mental game and make the best recoveries possible.”
