Performance is more than physical

Behind every performance is a human being with thoughts, emotions, and beliefs that shape how they show up.

I help athletes and teams strengthen the mental skills that drive confidence, focus, leadership, and resilience so they can show up with clarity

- and most importantly -

Enjoy the journey.

New Client Availability

New TEAM and INDIVIDUAL sessions are currently paused through October 2026. I am using this season to focus intentionally on my upcoming AASP conference presentation, continuing education and professional development, and the continued growth of Mindset Behind the Milestone.

Being intentional with my capacity allows me to protect the quality of my work, continue developing as a practitioner, and avoid taking on more than I can meaningfully give my attention to.

Interested in working together?
You can still join the waitlist to be notified when new client availability opens for November 2026 and beyond.

This pause applies to new Elevé Effect clients only. Existing clients with active packages or scheduled sessions should continue as planned and are welcome to contact me with any questions.

About Celeste


As a former competitive dancer, I know what it feels like to chase excellence while struggling with confidence, comparison, and pressure. I earned my M. Ed in Sport and Exercise Psychology and am currently pursuing my CMPC certification through AASP.

Today, I’m passionate about helping athletes and teams develop the mental skills I wish I had been taught alongside the physical skills.

Whether you’re an athlete, coach, or organization, I’d love to learn more about your goals.
