I'm former World Duathlon Champion, Professional Triathlete and now a Specialist Mindset and High Performance Coach supporting athletes to unlock their potential and achieve their sporting dreams.

I am passionate about athlete retreats based on my experiences. After a big race I would feel lost, experience the post race blues and immediately sign up for the next event without pausing. I recognised a gap. Where was the space and time to reflect, to learn from the race and training, to really consider what do i need and desire next?

Athlete retreats provides time and space to really think and pause. Each day we journey using tools and concepts to unravel our habits, sustainability of training alongside work, life and family. I kept repeating the same mistakes because i didn't pause and reset after races. Rest so you avoid struggling with injury season after season, feeling exhausted and overwhelmed and move to smart, sustainable, aligned training.

I used the tools and mindset exercises firstly on myself and then with individual athletes i coach. The results amazed me so i include them in the retreats and courses to help more athletes avoid the mistakes i made.
