I Know What It Feels Like to Perform Under Pressure.
For over 20 years, I performed and competed internationally as a professional pairs figure skater, training and performing at the world level across 22 countries.
From the outside, it looked exciting and glamorous.
But behind the performances, competitions, and pressure to constantly perform at a high level, I experienced the same struggles many athletes and high performers face every day:
- Imposter Syndrome
- Self-doubt.
- Performance anxiety
- Fear of failure.
- The pressure to be perfect.
- Body dysmorphia
The mental exhaustion that comes from constantly trying to prove yourself.
Those experiences ultimately led me to a new passion; understanding the psychology of performance and helping others develop the mindset tools needed to thrive under pressure.
I know how important having the right mindset tools and skills are to be able to perform to your best confidently, consistently, and be able to reach your potential.
Today, I Help Athletes and High Performers Build Mental Resilience.
As the founder of The Anti-Fragile Mindset, I work with athletes, teams, business professionals, and artistic performers to help them strengthen confidence, manage pressure, improve resilience, beat imposter syndrome and perform at their highest potential.
My coaching combines real-world elite performance experience with evidence-based mental performance training, helping clients develop practical tools they can apply both in competition and in life.
I’ve worked with:
- Skaters competing at national and international levels
- Competitive and elite athletes from multiple sports
- Coaches, teams and parents of competitive athletes
- Business professionals and leaders
- Organizations and performance groups
My Background
In addition to being a Skate Canada Certified Coach since 2002, I have continued my education in:
- Mental Toughness Training
- Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
- High Performance Coaching
- Life Coaching
Throughout my skating career, I had the privilege of:
- Performing internationally in 22 countries
- Competing at the World Professional Championships
- Placing 2nd at Brian Boitano’s American Open
- Performing alongside world and Olympic athletes
- Appearing in productions including Blades of Glory
- Coaching athletes at national, international, and Olympic levels

Beyond Performance
I’m also an author, speaker, podcast host, and lifelong student of human performance and resilience.
My book, Glitz & Grit: Beyond the Spotlight, shares the realities behind elite show performance, motherhood on tour, personal growth, adversity, major career transitions and finding identity when the curtain closes.
Because true confidence isn’t built by avoiding pressure.
It’s built by learning how to grow through it.
A Little More Personally…
At the core of everything I do is a genuine passion for helping people realize they are capable of more than they think.
Whether I’m coaching athletes, speaking at events, or working one-on-one with clients, my goal is always the same;
to help people build confidence, resilience, and the mindset needed to navigate challenges in sport, business and in life.
And outside of all the coaching and performance work, I’m most proud to be a mom to an incredible son.
