My athletic background began in the equestrian sport of Three Day Eventing. I was fortunate enough to compete nationally and internationally successfully for more than 20 years and I also coached riders of all ages and levels during this time.
Since retiring from equestrian sport I developed a passion for running. I’ve raced the 800m through to ultra trail events and almost everything in between.
As an athlete and a coach, I was always fascinated by the psychology of well-being and high achievement. My interest regarding the power of the mind to impact an athlete’s performance and overall experience moved me to complete an undergraduate degree in psychology, and then a Masters in Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania. Positive psychology is the science of human flourishing and high achievement, and offers a wealth of resources from which I draw to help athletes find the careers and the performance they are seeking while active as athletes, and when they move on from sport.
My work out of HYPO2 is offered to a wide range of clients, including elite, professional endurance athletes from around the world, and the Division I teams at Northern Arizona University. My approach is science based, philosophical, and spiritual. I draw upon empirical research, my own experience, and the arts to help each individual grow, perform and experience the opportunities within sport to the full.
