Meet Crystal

Performer, Health and Performance Coach

I spent over ten years as a professional dancer across stage and screen. For six years I performed as an ensemble dancer and Sarabi cover in The Lion King, before stepping out of the West End to pursue a career in health and performance coaching.

I know…

  • What it’s like to feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and burnt out

  • The guilt and shame you feel for feeling anything other than grateful because you have a job in a show that most performers dream of

  • How confusing it feels to have lost your passion for something you wanted your whole life

  • The isolation that you feel because there is so little support in our industry

  • How exhausting it is trying to find another way on your own

But I also know…

  • That it absolutely doesn’t have to be like this!

  • How amazing it feels when you build a lifestyle that supports your performing career

  • That it is completely possible to rediscover your joy and passion for the stage, and get back to loving what you do

  • That with support, you feel unstoppable, energised, and confident in your decisions for your career

  • How coaching opened my eyes and gave me the tools I needed to build a healthy and sustainable performing career

Since sharing more about my own experience, I have realised how many performers struggle with burnout, overwhelm and exhaustion, while suffering in silence.

This is why I am committed to supporting performers, because it IS possible to build a lifestyle that helps you avoid burnout, perform your best, and thrive on and off stage!
