I am a highly trained Master Mental Game Coach.  

 

I have coached, mentored, and instructed over 5000+ sessions with clients worldwide. I have trained with the best, as you can see below in detail, with the certifications I have completed and am currently taking.  

 

I believe in taking a holistic approach to your mental game. You are great exactly where you are; if you want a different result, we can work together to accomplish it.  

 

Working alongside some of the greats in golf, studying applied sports psychology, life coaching, physical therapy, trauma, brain health, and more has allowed me to develop my own unique system to maximize your results in golf and life.

 

Most golfers believe their skills are holding them back, but I love helping them discover the mindset preventing them from stepping into their greatness on and off the course.

Personally, my sports background started in dance. I was on the Appalachian State University Dance Team and Appalachian Dance Ensemble, performing ballet and modern pieces. After college, I started playing golf. My husband and I enjoy playing together and traveling the world to play on some of the most iconic golf courses, such as St. Andrews - The Home of Golf, Old Head, Tralee, Whistling Straits, Adair Manor, Royal County Down and Portrush, Pinehurst #2, and many more.

Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) Double-Goal Coach® Coaching for Winning and Life Lessons. This certification focuses on two goals - winning and learning. The most important thing is learning.  

 

U.S. Kids Golf Certified Coach 1 & 2.  

Certified Coach 1 is the foundational training that lays out basic principles in assuring coaches understand the nuances and six key elements specific to coaching young golfers. Coaches attaining this level of certification have a basic understanding of how to overcome the common challenges of coaching kids, the principles of games-based learning, the importance of proper club fitting for growing golfers, how to plan a successful program, and the best way to make learning fun for new students.

 

Certified Coach 2 is the advanced education offered by the Coaches Institute. Coaches learn how to motivate and inspire students based on their different personality traits, have a more structured program and curriculum for each student’s journey, and how to better communicate with parents that will show marked progression for their investment, which keeps their kids enrolled in the program for longer time periods.
