Hello friend, Call me Rae
I’m a fairy of many trades: A well being educator, sports scientist, artist, international baddie, medicine woman…
But at the heart of it all, I hold space for people to nourish their mind, body, and playful spirit so they don’t mash up their nervous system in pursuit of big dreams.
Back in the day (I’ve earned the right to say that, ok) all I knew was sport.
I was a 2x NCAA All-American, inducted into my alma mater Sports Hall of Fame (shout out McKendree), became an S&C coach and eventually moved to London to play and coach as well. Sport opened many doors for me.
BUT the gag of it all?? Sport also left me burnt the fuck out. I’m talking crispy!
I was overtraining with an eating disorder and living with chronic pain. My menstrual cycle was kicking my ass and I was facing panic attacks that were suffocating me… dare I say, literally.
Even with a MSc in health and sports science, I felt lost when it came to understanding what health felt like in sport… in anywhere really.
So, I went crawling back to the creative passions I sidelined for sport and immersed myself into the world of holistic health to heal myself and better support my clients.
It’s here I discovered two things
First: Me and a crap ton of other athletes were riding the same struggle bus — experiencing the aftermath of being led down a path that didn’t match our true wellbeing needs in sport.. especially women’s sport… but what else is new.
Second: The worlds of sport and art have so much wisdom to offer each other! Combining these two worlds is the key to unlocking SUPER SAIYAN POWERS in sport and life (you an anime fan?)
I returned to sport development in Ghana where I worked water safety and aquatic sports. I ran coaches and athlete clinics where I finally got to share the knowledge and integrate the lessons that came from my athlete crash out.
Now, I’m currently based in San Diego.
I teach interdisciplinary wellness practices to support diverse communities in developing the skills and courage to listen to their bodies for healing, longevity and freedom.
If you’re the holistic-thinking, athlete leaning, creative-loving, curious type who wants to send glorified burnout culture back to the pits of hell… I’d love to support you.
