Our personal coaching services are for anyone! Regardless of injury status, career field, or how active you are (or aren’t), we’re ready to work with you!

We work with athletes, performers, tactical personnel, and other active individuals who:

• feel “stuck” or stalled, whether in their recovery, improving their athletic performance, or pursuing their life’s goals: “Something’s not right but I don’t know what it is”

• experience recurring injuries to the same body part: “I’ve just always had problems with my (knee/ankle/back/etc.)”

• tend to have injuries or other physical impairments frequently: “If it’s not one thing, it’s another!” or “I just can’t catch a break!”

• feel disconnected from their identity, their body, and/or their team, especially during their injury recovery process

• were overlooked, dismissed, or unheard by prior traditional medical approaches

• are returning to activity following an injury

• want to gain an “edge” in their performance

We also work with fellow medical professionals ready to take control of their entire human experience, improving their well-being beyond just their clinical self-identity.

Each of our services for medical professionals focuses on clinical applications of somatic sports medicine concepts. Whether you’re looking for advice about a specific case or you want to integrate Polyvagal Theory and Somatic activities into your regular practice, when you work with us, you’ll learn the concepts and the techniques central to our approach so you can begin applying them in your clinical care right away.

Ways to work with us:

Case Consultation: Invite us to collaborate in your patient care! When we consult on a case, we learn the specifics of the case and your goals for your patient’s recovery. Then, we teach you relevant concepts and somatic tools tailored to your patient’s needs. We discuss progressions and answer any questions you have to set you up for successful resolution of the patient’s case. Our unique approach to clinical care is especially helpful for your “frequent flyer” patients, your patient who just isn’t progressing like you expect, or your patient whose physiological response to treatment is either excessive or non-existent.

You can schedule a one-time case consultation with us, or we also offer ongoing/long-term case mentoring packages to assist you throughout a patient’s full rehabilitation and recovery journey.

Professional Mentoring: Work with us one-on-one to learn the concepts and techniques of our one-of-a-kind approach to patient care. Our mentoring empowers you to begin applying the concepts of Polyvagal Theory to your clinical practice while you receive ongoing support and feedback. You’ll learn how to identify patients who will benefit from these techniques, select appropriate interventions based on your patient’s presentation, how to include these techniques in your patient homework/HEPs, how to progress/regress to meet your patient where they’re at on a given day, and so much more!

Personal Coaching: These sessions address all aspects of your life and place a special emphasis on critical components of being a medical professional, including:

• honoring your needs while serving in a helping profession

• refining your boundaries related to work

• addressing the impact of vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue

• healing from an imbalanced, unhealthy, or otherwise toxic work environment

• understanding the unique traits and circumstances that lead us to the medical field and also place us on the path to burnout — and how to stay engaged in our profession without losing ourselves

Our engaging workshops help you transform your organization’s approach to injuries, recovery, performance, and leadership. We tailor your workshop to the unique challenges you face, whether you’re a sports team, dance company, military unit, sports medicine department, coaching staff, professional association, or other group in Human Performance. Every workshop equips your group with actionable tools you can implement immediately.

Sample workshops for athletes, performers, operators, and patients:

• Overcoming “stuckness” in training and performance

• How to Actually “Listen to Your Body” (and Improve Your Recovery and Performance)

• Optimize Your Performance through the Immense Power of Your Nervous System

Sample workshops for coaches, managers, and staff:

• Somatic Practices to Enhance Your Team’s Recovery and Performance

• Understanding the Physiological and Environmental Factors Contributing to Your Team’s Successes and Challenges
