Hi I'm Karina

… but I started off working with collegiate athletes. . Let me explain. 

I started my Mental Performance Coaching (MPC) journey at Florida State University working with collegiate athletes, coaching them on confidence, motivation, and optimal performance. 

After two years I was offered a job on Joint Base Lewis McChord in Washington state where I worked as a Mental Performance Coach for soldiers in the US Army for 3 years. Thankfully, this is also when I fell in love with the PNW and all its glory. I coached units on how to become highly effective communicators, resilient,productive, and effective problem solvers. 

I help courageous leaders and entrepreneurs chill the f*ck out through badass adventures and Mental Performance Coaching

It was my job to teach these people to become effective soldiers–not effective people. I wanted to teach them how to connect with themselves, with nature, and the world around them. 

As I worked for 10 months to earn my Yoga Teacher Certification at the same time I worked with the Army, I realized how desperately I wanted to combine my passion for yoga with MPC–because, yes, they flow together perfectly. And since I couldn’t easily convince soldiers to practice their downward dog and tell them how much a hike on Mount Rainier would calm them the f*ck down, I knew it was time to put my energy elsewhere. 

I left my job with the US Army to become a Mental Performance Coach for badass female leaders and CEOs. Between the research and science-backed theories I learned in my master's program in Sport & Performance Psychology, two years working with collegiate athletes, three years working with US Army Soldiers, and two of teaching yoga, I now put all my energy into helping people like you be more successful than you could have ever imagined. 

I created the life I’m obsessed with. Now I want to help you do the same.
