Mental wellbeing and performance coaching for dancers.
Welcome dancer,
I hope that you can improve your performance potential, mental resilience, and harmony in life through my services.
Research in dance science and dance psychology has shown that employing mental skills and looking after your mental health is just as important as looking after your physical health. Working on and improving one’s mental wellbeing and resilience can be compared to working with your strength conditioning coach on increasing your core strength or improving a specific muscle group. Good mental health and performance coaching can enhance your performance in similar ways.
We go through life with ups and downs, some easier to handle, some harder. Problems onstage and offstage can affect your performance and could increase the likelihood of physical injuries as your mind is occupied elsewhere.
Constantly striving for perfection, daily criticism and corrections from others and oneself, pressure due to high competition for few jobs and promotions, as well as high risk of potential injuries can put extra pressure on the mind impacting the dancer's career.
Injuries often occur if the body is not optimally trained and prepared. The same applies to the mind. Learning strategies and skills for mental wellbeing can equally prevent both mental and physical injuries and heal existing ones.
The aim of coaching sessions is to apply the latest dance science and dance psychology research in order to maximise your performance potential by bringing your mental and physical strength together and make you the best version of yourself.
I look forward to working with you!
