Helping MT performers thrive on and off stage
“No one said doing 8 shows a week would be this hard!”
Are you a performer who is…
🛑 Exhausted, depleted, overwhelmed, and struggling to get through each performance week?
🛑 Doing all the right things but your performances are still not improving–in fact, they're getting worse?
🛑 Constantly struggling with illness and injury?
🛑 Struggling to find your confidence?
🛑 Wanting to find your joy and passion for the stage again?
🛑 Ready to create a healthy and sustainable career on your own terms?
My mission is to help MT performers master the tools they need to thrive on and off stage, so they can get back to loving what they do.
I get it. I’ve been there. And I would LOVE to support you in creating a healthy and sustainable performing career on YOUR terms.
When working with performers I use:
Evidence-based principles from performance nutrition and dance science to increase energy, stamina, and recovery, and reduce injuries
Mental skills to manage stress, build resilience and boost self-confidence
Coaching to set and achieve performance goals
The science of behaviour change to create and implement healthy habits
Over 10 years experience as a professional dancer

“I now know how to prepare my body for the best outcome through food and exercise and I've learned how to reprogram my brain to approach everything with a positive and grounded energy regardless of the outcome and I can tell you things have changed! I have never auditioned so much and received such good feedback in the entirety of my career in the UK. So if you're looking for a coach that will help you put your best foot forward look no further because SHE IS IT.”— Maria León, Actor & Singer
