Performance Preparation • Confidence • Nervous System Regulation

The Performer Mindset Programme is a structured, time-limited programme designed to support performers in building confidence, focus, and emotional regulation in the lead-up to a performance or competition.

This work is not about last-minute fixes. It focuses on developing positive confidence habits over time, so mindset skills feel natural and reliable under pressure.

“In previous competitions, I struggled with intense nerves — jelly legs, my mind going blank mid-programme, and the frustration of knowing what I was capable of but never being able to show it when it really mattered, despite months of solid training.

This time was night and day. When I stepped onto the ice, I had control of both my body and my mind. For the first time ever, I skated a programme that genuinely reflected all the hard work and preparation I’d put in. I felt present, focused, and able to perform to my true potential.

For the first time, I am truly proud of what I put out there — and that feeling is something I’ll carry with me into every future competition.

Jem offers an incredibly insightful and personalised experience. The work was helpful from the very first session, and I’m extremely grateful for the time and effort she put into our sessions. I’m confident carrying forward the tools she has equipped me with.”

Who This Programme Is For

This programme is suitable for performers who want to:

• Perform closer to their true potential

• Reduce performance anxiety or pressure

• Build confidence that carries from training into performance

• Feel calmer, more focused, and more grounded on performance day

• Close the gap between how they train and how they perform

It is particularly suited to performers in disciplines such as:

• Aerial, pole, dance, and movement arts

• Skating and judged sports

• Stage performance and competition environments

How the Programme Works

The Performer Mindset Programme follows a clear, intentional structure:

• Three sessions delivered in succession to support preparation, habit-building, and consistency

• One final session during performance week, focused on confidence, integration, and regulation

This structure allows mindset tools to be practised alongside physical training, rather than added on at the last minute.

Ideal Booking Window

This programme is ideally booked around three months before a performance or competition.

This timeframe allows:

• confidence strategies to be embedded gradually

• nervous system regulation skills to become familiar

• mindset tools to feel automatic under pressure

In some circumstances, shorter-notice bookings may be possible, but earlier booking supports deeper and more sustainable change.
