Core values
Authenticity
My story began at home in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia where I developed as a high performance athlete competing in USports National championships, later becoming a National C Licensed Coach in soccer and a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (Member of CSPA; AASP). My #1 value is authenticity; honing in on my upbringing in a community that was built on grit, character, and sacrifice allows me to foster a no-excuses mentality and an appreciation for being the underdog.
Become the Only exemplifies a desire to be more than the best. Striving to be the only assures that you bring your authentic self to the surface, and put your individual strengths and unique contributions to work first.
Passion
An unwavering passion for sport development, coaching, and connecting with people is what keeps my bucket full. With over twelve years of coaching experience, challenging others to achieve self-defined success is how I try to impact and leave my mark on the world. My mental performance clientele consists of individuals, teams, clubs, and coaching groups across an array of sports including soccer, hockey, figure skating, swimming, and more! Specialities include high performance mindset, confidence building, communication, team culture, leadership development, as well as gender equity/women's empowerment.
Excellence
My third and final core value, excellence, is a daily commitment. This principle underlies the expectations to which I hold myself accountable for my own personal growth and for the betterment of the sport and performance system within which we all seek achievement! My intentions for the future are to
maintain a track record of proven client success, empower youth athletes with resources to experience the full extent of their potential, and to have a direct impact on the accessibility, and quality of sport in Canada from grassroots to elite level athletics.

Who are you? What are your core values? And, how do you define success?
Initial sessions will gauge the client's level of self-awareness, confidence, and perceived potential. My approach is grounded in acknowledging that one's performance is situated within the broader context of their life, and that by using a strengths-based approach, we can identify opportunities and invite challenges!
