Helping clients achieve personal excellence through collaborative, supportive and creative counselling services in sport and performance psychology.

Hi everyone

I’M KATIE

I am a Mental Performance Consultant and Professional member of the Canadian Sport Psychology Association based out of Canmore Alberta. I graduated in 2017 with a Masters in Human Kinetics, Specializing in Intervention and Consultation from the University of Ottawa.

With an elite performance background competing in multiple high level sports and now coaching the sports of Cross Country Skiing and Biathlon, I bring a unique understanding of the psychological demands and skills required to succeed in the performance arena.

As a consultant, my goal is to provide clients with a safe, encouraging and supportive environment from which to cooperatively explore the skills of sport and performance psychology. Helping performers of all ages and levels work towards their own personal excellence is what brings me the greatest joy in this profession.

Kind Words

“After working closely with Katie for the past few years, I can say with total confidence that her expertise were pivotal for me as a high performance athlete competing for Canada on the international stage. Following my season in 2016, I found I was able to perform exceptionally in my training environment, but I struggled to translate those performances into competition. I reached out to Katie to help me with this project and she was my quarterback in identifying where I could improve, developing a definitive strategy to progress in all areas, and consistently creating a personal ruler-stick of how success in these areas would be defined. I’ve since come to overcome challenges such as performance anxiety, finding consistent race day focus, and refining my mental space to be a positive one that experiences pressure confidently. I can say with certainty that I am a more well-rounded athlete, and find much more purpose in my athletic pursuits both on and off the water after working with Katie. I highly recommend her services as a mental performance consultant for anyone looking to shift gears in their mental performance.”
