      Hi

      I have worked with all sorts of athletes…Recently I have worked with a triathlete who was nervous about an Ironman competition he was doing. I also have worked with two mixed martial artists (like Ulitmate Fighing Championship style), several golfers who wanted to improve their focus, a horse-rider who had been injured and was nervous about riding. I also work with people who do lots of exercise, but who arent professional or competitive athletes – to help them stay motivated to their exercise and keep on challenging themselves and setting new goals.

      I have also worked with obese teenagers and children, helping them be more motivated to do sports and exercise.
