Break mental barriers and perform at your best.
I help athletes through...
Personal Training
I meet you where you are—physically, mentally, and emotionally—and take a collaborative approach to help you reach your goals. I understand that progress isn’t just physical—it’s also mental. With a Master’s degree in Sport and Performance Psychology, I bring a deeper understanding of motivation and mindset to our work together, guiding you toward sustainable changes and measurable results.
As a dancer and professional aerialist, I also specialize in flexibility and mobility. Whether you are working on your splits, preventing injuries or aiming to feel stronger and more mobile, I will help you get there with a customized program that fits your schedule.
Evidence-based Sports Psychology
I offer 1:1 performance psychology sessions designed to enhance your ability to perform at a high level—consistently and confidently. Whether you are an athlete, a performer, or an ambitious individual striving to grow, these sessions are tailored to help you develop the mental skills needed to overcome obstacles, manage pressure, and stay focused on your goals in your fitness journey and your daily life.
Workshops
I provide interactive workshops for performance companies, sports teams, and coaches on topics such as resilience, confidence, focus, and stress management. These workshops are designed to enhance both individual and team performance by equipping athletes and performers a strong mental foundation on mental toughness and growth mindset.
Workshops can be delivered in-person or virtually, and are suitable for a variety of settings—from studios and gyms to professional training environments. Email me for more details so we can start the conversation!

Testimonials
“Aretha is super sweet, understanding, and considerate!”
Full testimonial
Aretha has been incredible at working through athletic challenges that I didn't realize were impacting my performance.
She’s super amazing to work with and I still use many of her tips when I compete! If you struggle to keep calm during tournaments or don't know how to deal with the stress that comes with being a student athlete, I recommend speaking with Aretha.
She is super sweet, understanding, and considerate. I even got to Top 8 for my most recent Nationals!

“She is the type of person everyone wants in their corner.”
Full testimonial
I genuinely can’t speak highly enough of what Aretha has helped me achieve. I put in the work, but if it wasn’t for her, I’d still be where I was three years ago thinking I didn’t have it in me to get up and do the dang thing.
She’s encouraging, knowledgeable, and willing to push you to always give 100%. But she also reminds you that rest is important and that self care looks different depending on your journey. She’s the type of person everyone wants in their corner.
She helped me get from not being able to run for 5 minutes to completing 7 spartan races! I’ve lost 30lbs and gained muscle I thought I would never have. Having someone like Aretha by your side to help motivate you makes it a heck of a lot more enjoyable.

“I have grown in confidence as much as in ability.”
Full testimonial
Aretha has helped me to design routines that work with my lifestyle, training goals, and ability. As a dancer, it has been so helpful to have customized exercises and challenges that are developed specifically with my professional development in mind.
Aretha is always responsive as my interests, resources, and schedule change to find the best workout fit for what is going on in my life at the moment.
I have grown in confidence as much as in ability, and been empowered to explore the kind of movement that is fun and accessible to me.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does online coaching work?
We will communicate primarily through a user-friendly app that keeps everything organized and accessible. After a free consultation call—where we talk about your goals, preferences, and challenges—I will take care of the rest! With a personalized training plan designed just for you, you will know exactly what to do for every workout. We will check in regularly (almost daily!) to keep you accountable, and we can schedule Check-In Calls if you need extra support or guidance.
Do you offer in-person coaching?
Yes, I do! If you’re in the Greater Denver area, we can absolutely train in person. Just like with online coaching, we will start with a consultation call to understand your needs, then create a plan that works for you. In-person training packages are available—feel free to reach out for details!
How do sports psychology sessions work?
My sessions are tailored to your unique needs, so sessions vary based on each individual. We will first understand your goals and challenges through assessments and discussions. Then we will work together to create a game plan to address the impediments. I will equip you with mental skill techniques that work for you to optimize your performance. Sessions can be held in-person or virtually. If you have an upcoming event, we can even meet at your training space to put those skills into practice!
Is nutrition coaching included?
Yes! Nutrition coaching is available as an add-on service. Your eating habits play a key role in your overall progress, and I am here to support you with simple, effective strategies to help you build a healthier lifestyle. While I’m not a Registered Dietitian and cannot diagnose or prescribe, I can provide guidance and recommendations to help you fuel your body in a way that supports your goals.
