The Path to Brainspotting and Performance Coaching:
“Despite being active in the things I was pulled to do, something inside just felt “off;” something was holding me back. I thought I could take some deep breaths and just “get over it,” or that something was wrong with me - queue in the cyclic negative self-talk.
Instead, these instances accumulated little-by-little and made things worse over time. I was anxious, fearful, tense, and would get so nervous some ailment would suddenly surface; performance declined, then the cycle would start over. I began to lose confidence in myself in the sport and musical areas I had always loved doing.”
Discovering and becoming aware of her own - past and current - performance anxieties, traumas and blocks around: competitions, auditions, recitals, instrumental solos, injuries, and public speaking, took years. Once these realizations surfaced, she became fascinated with sport performance psychology and healing energies; how to strengthen the mind through mental performance skills, meditation, and Reiki. She stumbled upon Brainspotting while on a bike ride with The Cycling House. She and another guest were chatting; He happened to be a Brainspotting practitioner, which opened her eyes to the Brainspotting realm. She was immediately intrigued with the practice and dove in head first; her mission took off from there.
