Performance mindset coaching helps performers manage nerves, build confidence, and feel focused before stepping on stage. Whether you’re an aerialist, pole artist, or creative performer, this tailored approach supports you mentally and emotionally — so you can perform at your best.

“I was so nervous before performing, however working on my mindset using performance mindset coaching techniques made such a difference. I learned a breathing sequence I could use before and during my routine, and having my personalised deep relaxation track helped me get into the zone. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, I felt focused and ready to enjoy being on stage.”

Aerialist-Turned-Coach: How I Used Performance Mindset Coaching to Win Gold

I know what it’s like to stand backstage with sweaty palms and a racing heart. I was in my late 30s when I said yes to my first aerial showcase — and it was terrifying. But the rush and pride I felt afterward? Unmatched. That moment sparked something in me.

Fast forward a few years, and I was competing at Pole Dance Ireland as one half of the hoop duo IMOJEM. We won gold.
Not because the nerves disappeared — but because I had the tools to manage them and perform with presence.

Now, I combine my two passions — aerial performance and solution-focused hypnotherapy — to help other performers do the same.

Why Performing Can Feel So Mentally Tough

Even the most skilled performers experience nerves. It’s not about ability — it’s about mindset.

Common challenges I support with:

• Fear of forgetting your routine
• Adrenaline spikes during physically demanding sets
• Perfectionism in practice or performance
• Anxiety about judgment, comparison, or making mistakes
• Feeling pressure to “get it right” every time

How Solution Focused Practices Helps Performers

This approach helps your mind work with you, not against you. You’ll learn how to:

• Build confidence and self-trust
• Calm your nervous system before and during your routine
• Reduce overthinking and “what if” spirals
• Stay present, grounded, and connected to your flow
• Bring joy and freedom back into performing
