I coach ultramarathon runners who want to strengthen their mind, improve their running, and overall mental wellbeing all over the U.S.
I mostly work with:
Anxiety; Depression; Burnout/Fatigue; Perfectionism; Highly knowledgeable in trauma and eating disorders.
The people I work with (my clients are awesome, by the way!):
Are ready to make changes; Willing to learn and try new things (your old ways of going about things may no longer be serving you); Understand that there is some time commitment involved. About 15 minutes to three hours per week; Completes resources and worksheets that I send (at least some of it).
My Background and Approach:
Improve day-to-day mental wellbeing; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) strategies; Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) strategies; Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies; Build better habits; Incorporate mindfulness; Learn emotion regulation skills; Set challenging, yet attainable goals; Discuss motivation Address body image thoughts or concerns; If you feel concerned that you have an eating disorders, let’s discuss it, so you can find help. I am informed on eating disorders; 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”; Narrative Therapy; Juggling priorities and time management; Are you searching for a running coach? I can provide pointers on how to go about finding one; Mental strategies and mindset for racing; Positive affirmations; Training and race day visualization; Generalized anxiety and race day anxiety; Happiness. What is it? How to get more of it; What might you do if you encounter a problem during a race; Building trust with yourself; Improving self-care, self-esteem, and self-compassion; Knowing when to push yourself and when to be kinder to yourself; Why’s and meaning behind what you do. Passion. Using that as support and drive; The unique situations and challenges that women face in sport. Being a parent, pregnancy, miscarriage, dealing with periods during races…
Phew!!! … I need to sit down, where’s the chair?! Hopefully, this paints a picture of the good stuff that we can cover.
