Athletic Mental Fitness

We believe that putting the athlete first, before the sport, is essential for overall wellness and ultimately sets the athlete up to do their very best in training, competition, and life.

Individual and small group sessions are available to help athletes manage anxiety, cope with mental blocks to performing your best, and support athletes in establishing mental wellness and balance related to your identity as an athlete. We welcome athletes of all ages and stages.

Support is available to help athletes cope with the stress of experiencing or recovering from a sports related injury.

Support for Coaches

We recognize and honor the important role coaches play in the lives of their athletes and the influence that comes with the athlete-coach relationship. We also acknowledge that coaches deserve to have support, space, and healing in order to be healthy and maintain a mindset that allows them to meet the many demands that coaches face.

Testimonials

I will always remember winning the regional championships when the team all gathered together at the end and said “Tap it in!” Shannon and Sarah had shared this strategy with our teams a few weeks earlier, and it was so great to see that it had an impact. We all take the journey to mental health in different ways and are all in different places on that path. In just one session, Shannon and Sarah offered strategies and techniques and provided a takeaway for every player on our team (and coaches too!) We look forward to having them back in the future!

Shannon and Sarah have been tremendous assets to our mental health and athletics initiative at Woodberry Forest School. Not only do they bring a wealth of clinical and personal experience to the workshops they've conducted with all of our teams, but they also tailor their efforts with care and attention to what individual coaches, players, and programs need most. They prepare thoroughly, communicate clearly, and respond thoughtfully to exactly what the coaches and athletes need. We are grateful for the powerful impact they've had in promoting and protecting mental health and fitness in our community.
