Private Coaching and Mentorship:

This is personalized one on one embodied performance coaching for dancers who want to strengthen their mental and emotional skills alongside their physical training.

In each session we work with what is present for you right now. Performance anxiety, fear of failure, inconsistency under pressure, overthinking, or difficulty staying focused. We use tools informed by neuroscience, EFT, and somatic awareness to help reduce emotional and mental patterns that interfere with performance.

By integrating mental skills, emotional processing, and somatic techniques, dancers learn how to work with internal stress responses so they can access their training more consistently under pressure.

Why it matters

At higher levels of training and competition, talent is not enough. Pressure, expectations, and constant evaluation can impact confidence and performance even when technique is strong.

One on one coaching provides tools, accountability, and support to manage stress, stay mentally present, and recover more quickly after setbacks.

Sessions may include

• Guided emotional processing
• Tools to work with fear, doubt, and perfectionism
• Nervous system regulation and somatic movement
• Focus and performance preparation strategies
• Visualization and intention setting

This is a good fit for dancers who

• Want to perform more consistently under pressure
• Are preparing for auditions, competitions, or major performances
• Struggle with nerves, overthinking, or confidence dips
• Want mental training that supports physical performance

For dancers under 18, a brief parent conversation is required before booking. Sessions are recorded for continuity and accountability.

Embodied Performance Coaching Group

This is a small group coaching experience for dancers who want to strengthen their mental and emotional skills, reduce performance pressure, and build confidence in a supportive and growth focused environment.

In this group, dancers explore common challenges such as perfectionism, comparison, fear of mistakes, confidence, motivation, and managing nerves, while learning practical tools they can use in training, auditions, and performances.

The group format is powerful because dancers quickly realize that many of the struggles they thought were personal or unique are actually shared across all levels of training. This helps reduce isolation, soften comparison, and create a healthier mindset around growth and performance.

Each session includes guided discussion, performance focused teaching, and simple somatic and regulation techniques to help dancers better understand how stress affects their body and focus, and how to work with it instead of fighting it.

This is not group therapy. It is structured performance coaching that supports both mindset and physical performance.

Commitment and Structure

Groups run in 3 or 6 month cycles with the same dancers throughout the program. The first three weeks serve as an adjustment period. After week three, participants commit to completing the full program to protect the consistency and safety of the group.

Groups meet weekly and are kept intentionally small to allow for meaningful discussion and personalized guidance.

This group is a good fit for dancers who

• Feel pressure, nerves, or perfectionism impacting their performance
• Struggle with comparison or confidence in competitive environments
• Want mental training to match their physical training
• Value learning in a supportive group rather than alone
• Are willing to commit to consistent growth over time

For dancers under 18, a brief parent conversation is required before joining.

EFT (emotional freedom techniques)

is a clinically supported stress-reduction technique that involves tapping on specific acupressure points while focusing on a thought, memory, or emotion. This process helps regulate the nervous system, reduce cortisol levels, and create new neural pathways—making it easier to shift limiting beliefs and improve emotional regulation.

Applied Neurology

Applied Neurology is the study and use of how the brain and nervous system influence our behavior, movement, emotions, and performance. It helps individuals understand how their brain processes stress, challenge, and growth—so they can intentionally shift patterns, improve regulation, and optimize performance.

Rather than focusing on mindset alone, applied neurology looks at how the nervous system drives our responses—and how greater awareness of those patterns can lead to lasting change.

Spirituality

in understanding that dancers are more than just bodies in motion—they're souls in motion. I incorporate spirituality and intuition as tools to help dancers reconnect with their true identity, find deeper meaning in their journey, and make decisions that align with their inner truth.

Testimonials

“My experience with Chelsie was very healing for me. She was professional while being understanding. She is easy to talk and open up to. She helped me talk through and change my perspective on some personal trauma. I would highly recommend working with Chelsie.”

Abigail -Age 17
“ Working with Chelsie was absolutely pivotal for me in healing some things that were holding me back. I now feel so much more authentically me and able to show up in a calmer more confident way. I was able to get to the 3rd/Final day of Rockette auditions!!”

Eliza -Age 22
“Working with Chelsie completely changed the way I show up in dance—and in life. I used to struggle with perfectionism, self-doubt, and constantly comparing myself to others. Through her coaching, I learned how to understand my emotions, reframe my mindset, and reconnect with who I truly am as a dancer. I now feel more confident, grounded, and free in my movement.”

Lindsey -Age 18
“I didn’t realize how much my mindset was affecting my dancing until I started working with Chelsie She made me feel seen and safe right away, and helped me understand the deeper reasons behind my anxiety and pressure to be perfect. Her guidance has helped me not only feel better in class and on stage, but also more connected to who I am outside of dance. It’s honestly been life-changing.”
