Overcome DNFs, build race-day resilience, and crush negative self-talk with 1:1 mindset and mental wellness coaching.
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in PA who wanted to be able to work with ultrarunners all over the U.S., so I built a coaching business.
Coaching is non-clinical, so it’s not medical or counseling advice.
My mental wellness information is from evidence-based research, coming from several thousand hours of continuing education, and from my personal experiences of using it for years.
I've been a runner since 2010 and an ultrarunner focusing on the 50+ mile distance since 2016.
I'm also a mom. Sometimes my daughter is interested in going on a run together.
Here are a few topics, strategies, and approaches that I do with people (full list on my website):
- Improve day-to-day mental wellbeing.
- Build better habits.
- Incorporate mindfulness
- Learn emotion regulation strategies for stressful situations.
- Set challenging, yet attainable goals.
- Discuss motivation
- Address body image thoughts or concerns.
- If you feel concerned that you have an eating disorder, let’s discuss it, so you can find help. I am informed on eating disorders. I cannot treat ED via coaching.
- Talk about you! Who are you, besides a runner? – parent, sibling, entrepreneur, community member… What else do you do, and how does it impact training for races or vice versa?
- Coping with injury and setbacks.
- Managing disappointments, like “Did Not Start” and “Did Not Finish”.
- Self-beliefs
- Juggling priorities and time management.
- Are you actively trying to find a mental health professional? I can assist!
- Are you searching for a running coach? I can provide pointers on how to go about finding someone who’s a good fit and what questions to ask the coach when interviewing them for fit.
- Mental strategies and mindset for racing.
- Positive affirmations or swearing during races? Both?!
- Training and race day visualization.
Hopefully, this paints a picture of the good stuff that we can cover.
