Empowering athletes to take agency over their health because awareness only opens the door. Integration gets you through it.
In this age of glorified burnout, athletes are overtrained, under-recovered & stressed tf out..
So let’s shift “athlete well being” from catchy buzzword to integrated wellness practices for healthier & longer athletic careers.
Most athletes aren’t taught anything about their nervous system or how to recover effectively…even when this is the stuff that makes or breaks careers.
They’re finding it harder to focus, experiencing chronic pain and injury rates are abysmal (sorry to pull out such a serious word… but it’s serious stuff!)
I support sports programs in developing holistic performance strategies that will meet the evolving needs of athletes for sustainable careers in sport.
If you’re ready to to align your recovery with the hustle and creativity with routine, get in touch!

Between the competitiveness, perfectionism, intense highs and lows, and evolving demands of sport, athletes face unique pressures. I’ve been there and support athletes where they’re at.
These sessions offer a chance for athletes to align with their internal compass and fill in some of the gaps of their training. Together, we’ll work towards creating balance between sport, life and well-being.

“ The support Arela has given my daughter, [Kemi] is incredible! I wanted a coach to work with my daughter when I noticed her confidence, mood, and fitness declining. After meeting with Arela, we haven’t looked back. Kemi looks forward to their [mentoring and training] sessions every week and refuses to miss it. I can see how much her confidence has transformed in all areas. Rae and Kemi have in-depth discussions about many things, not just sports and I know she is in good hands. "

“Rae has done an amazing job with my netball team and I can see she inspires the girls to be the best athletes they can be. She incorporates visualisation during training and since we’re in a very competitive league and I’ll take whatever edge we can get. I’d recommend Rae to any competitive sports programme”

“Arela has acted like an older sister to me the last two years. Training is intense, but I’ve enjoyed every second. I didn’t think I would like lifting at first, but now I love it. I see how my stamina and focus have improved when competing [in field hockey]. Our mindset sessions also helped me a lot with my stress over Covid and school exams”

“ Being a part of the Mindful Athlete Mentorship Programme with Rae, Dan and Herman have been really helpful to both my basketball performance and dealing with everyday life. I really appreciate the care and time they put into this programme and helping me stay on track with my goals in basketball.

“My son loves his rugby and has had a keen interest in lifting weights. [As parents] we wanted to make sure he was learning the right things and Rae was recommended to us. His confidence in rugby has skyrocketed! It’s a really cool thing to see how a bit of extra mentorship and training can make a difference. Getting a 12 year old boy awake and in the gym on a Saturday at 9 AM almost seems like an impossible task, but I haven’t heard a complaint from him yet.“
