For people whose body has been the career.

Why This Group

Trained to push through, which stops working.

You have spent a life doing the thing that hurts and getting a result for it. That method is extraordinarily effective on a body and unhelpful on a mind, and most athletes discover this the hard way, usually several years later than they needed to.

There is also the visibility. Being assessed constantly, publicly, by people with opinions and no information. And the specific loneliness of a competitive environment where admitting to difficulty can be read as a weakness that costs you a place.

So a great deal gets carried privately, for a long time, by people who are otherwise very good at asking for help with technique.

What People Bring

Injury, identity, and after.

Injury, which is not only a physical event. It removes the routine, the team, the daily proof of who you are, and it does so with no notice.

Anxiety that has been reclassified as focus. Sleep that never fully settles in season. The flatness that arrives after a result that was supposed to be the point of everything, and the disorientation of finding it was not.

And retirement, which arrives earlier here than in any other field. The end of a career is a genuine loss, and it deserves to be treated as grief rather than as a scheduling problem or a rebranding exercise.

How We Work

Somatic, direct, and not soft.

You already have an unusually detailed relationship with your own body, which is an advantage here. We use it. I will often ask where something lands physically before we talk about what it means, and athletes tend to answer that question better than anybody.

I begin every session with conversation, taking time to meet and hear from you, and use a short guided practice when it helps. Meditation is the gym and mindfulness is the sport, which is a distinction athletes usually recognize immediately: what you build in training is spent under pressure, and neither part works without the other.

I will be direct with you. I will tell you plainly when I think something is worth trying and when I think it is not, and I will not move faster than you have said yes to when the material is old.

Practical

How the work runs.

Sessions are 60 minutes by secure video, anywhere in North Carolina, which works around training blocks and travel. Most people begin weekly. Availability is Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

Adults 18 and over, most of my clients between 30 and 75. The fee is $180, and the free consultation is a sensible way to test the fit before committing to anything.

I do not treat addictions or eating disorders. In sport both are common enough that I will say it plainly: if either is the primary concern, I will refer you to a specialist rather than work at the edge of my competence.
