SPORTS PSYCHOLOGY + MINDFUL ATHLETICS

Whether you’re a recreational athlete looking to bring more motivation & focus to your workout routine, or a competitive athlete looking for the mental edge, or if you’re experiencing an injury & looking for support during the healing process, I offer services to support you. From visualizations to breathing exercises to intention setting.

MINDFUL MOVEMENT + NATURE WALKS

We know moving the body & being present with our experience – thoughts + emotions + body sensations – is beneficial for both mental & physical health. Let’s get down to basics together. The formal mindfulness practice of the mindful walk & informal practices such as mindful running & hiking are great activities to start integrating into your wellness routine. I can support you in intention setting, health routine building & we can go on a mindful nature walk to give you the skills to do this nourishing practice regularly in your day-t0-day life!

NUTRITIONAL PSYCHOLOGY + MINDFUL EATING PROGRAMMING

When talking about the body it’s hard to have a conversation that doesn’t touch on how we fuel the body! The focus of both mood + food therapy & mindful eating programs together involve education & practice with regard both HOW & WHAT you eat!

Nutrition Psychology assessment includes a 3-Day Food Journal for Mood (3-DFJM), which is a tool that allows simple assessment of the impact daily dietary intake is likely having on mood. Based on the results of the 3-DFJM, a method of nutritional remediation called Macronutrient Mood Therapy (MMT) can be applied.

Mindful Eating practices can be added to or explored separately in individual therapy, online group, in home meal prep format, or in person group format.

Who pays for services? //

Private psychological services & dietetic services are not covered by Alberta Health Services. However, for many people the cost of accessing psychological & dietetic services can be offset through employee benefits or additional insurance coverage. Payment can be made by cash, cheque, etransfer or credit card. At the end of each session, clients are issued a receipt for psychological counselling services that may be used to obtain reimbursement from employee benefits or insurance company.

How many sessions will I need? //

How many sessions you’ll need depends on the presenting concern, complexity, severity & duration, as well as your personal motivation for dealing with presenting concerns. For some issues people can experience significant improvement in only a few sessions. Together, we can work together to estimate how many sessions you’ll require. However, ultimately, it’s your decision as to how many sessions you need, & clients are free to withdraw from services at any point.
