Heidi began her athletic career as a figure skater at the age of five. Since that time she has remained passionate about sport and fitness and has seen first hand the ins and outs of competitive athletics. As both a competitive athlete and coach Heidi has developed a keen awareness of the significant role the “mental game” plays in ones performance and life experience. Heidi believes that sport is an excellent metaphor for life’s challenges and can serve as a framework from which to strengthen oneself both as an athlete and an individual. Heidi holds a masters degree in Counseling Psychology and is certified as a Mental Game Coach. As a professional, she has worked extensively with adults and children struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma and athletes with eating disorders and has over 10 years experience coaching figure skating. Heidi also has extensive experience running groups, delivering presentations and facilitating workshops on issues related to wellness and personal growth and development. As an athlete, Heidi competed through sectional level as a Junior Lady in figure skating prior to pursuing her academic goals. Over the past year Heidi has become actively involved in both the cycling and triathlon communities here in Arizona. Heidi has a passion for health and fitness as well as growth and personal development. Heidi hopes to use her skills to inspire others to fitness in mind, body and spirit.
