Hi, I'm Annie. This is my story

12 years ago I knew I needed a change. So I hopped on a plane to Canada from England ready for a year of adventure in the Canadian Rockies.

The plan was to fly home once that year was over to 'figure things out' but my heart had fallen in love with this wild place (and my now Husband), so I stayed.

Getting on that plane was the best decision I ever made.

I'm proud to call Valemount, BC my home now. I love having coffee with a mountain view and I'm so grateful to be able to play in this beautiful wilderness.

Those first few years I spent my summers as a Raft Guide before becoming a Massage Therapist after my own experience with chronic pain. More recently my personal struggles have been mental.

I cycled in and out of severe depression with anxiety as it's sidekick and struggled to find traditional therapy helpful.

And then I found it...the thing that worked for me...Neuro-Linguistic-Programming (NLP) and Hypnosis.

NLP taught to recognize thought patterns that were holding me back and has given me tools to change the way I think, see the opportunites presented by my challenges, and replace unproductive habits with new ones that serve me.

It has brought a sense of calm to my mind that I had been longing for. I can honestly say it has been transformational and I'm so grateful to continue on this journey of bettering myself.

The best part? I get to share this with you too! 

How we think has fascinated me since I was a teenager. I studied Psychology at Masters level with a special interest in positve psychology. NLP seemed like a natural progression.

I discovered climbing when I was 12 and since then it's always been my biggest passion in life. And now I get to share it with my Son.

But then, in 2016, I discovered something new...armwrestling! I completely and accidently fell into this sport when some armwrestling tables were pulled out at a wedding I was at.

Turns out I had a natural affinity for it and in 2019 I came 9th at the World Championships with Team Canada after winning 4 gold medals at Nationals in the same year.

Tying NLP together with sports mindset just made perfect sense to me.

Sometimes in sport we lose sight of our goals and the joy we once held for it because our mindset is holding us back.

I've made it my mission to help everyday athletes breakdown their mental barriers so they can excel in their sport, whether that's at a competitive level or just living their passion.

I believe that changing your mindset is the key to dealing with any struggle in sport.

I believe that everyone has the power inside them to transform how they think.

I believe you deserve to have nothing holding you back in your sport (and life) and for it to spark joy in your soul.

And I'm here to help you achieve this.
