In 2021 I attended a mindset workshop that Ana kindly offered to host for adult Irish dancers who were, for the first time, competing at the US National Irish Dance Championships. With the pressure of wanting to dance well, and the reality of the challenges brought by the pandemic, I had become increasingly nervous that I would tank on stage. Knowing that mindset can really make or break a performance, the opportunity to attend a mindset workshop was a timely blessing for me. Ana's workshop helped lift me out of the rut I was in, and provided me with tools to use on competition day to tap into my confidence, and love of dance. Just before stepping on stage, I used one of the mindset exercises Ana taught. I felt so much joy dancing that day, and am proud to say I placed fourth in the Adult Traditional Set Competition. Thank you, Ana!

Ana is amazing at what she does. She has a set curriculum to enhance one’s competition mindset that includes meditations as well as brainstorming exercises. She also is so easy to talk to and eager to learn what aspects of competition mindset one struggles with so that the entire experience felt really tailored to my needs. I left our sessions feeling so confident in myself, which is huge as I used to suffer greatly from nerves!
