Ballet Based Movement & Pilates for Mental Performance
As part of my mental performance training, I incorporate Ballet-Based Movement and Pilates to enhance body awareness and core strength. This approach helps athletes develop a deeper connection between mind and body, making movements more efficient and controlled.
Benefits for Athletes:
-
Increased Body Awareness: Helps to execute movements more precisely and effectively.
-
Core Power and Stability: Strengthens the core to improve balance, agility, and overall strength.
-
Effortless Movement: Teaches how to engage only the necessary muscles, reducing fatigue and the risk of injury.
-
Enhanced Speed and Strength: Optimizes movement patterns for quicker responses and more powerful actions.
-
Improved Mind-Body Connection: Reinforces the link between mental focus and physical execution.
-
Situational Awareness: Supports moving with accuracy and confidence in any competitive setting.
This combination of mental and physical training makes the approach unique, providing athletes with tools to perform at their best.

Coaching Philosophy and Values
I serve powerfully and listen deeply, not only for the words that are spoken, but those that are unspoken: expressions, body movements, pauses, and silent moments. As a curious person, I pose questions to help discover what's behind the initial responses.
Expect to be challenged to step outside of your comfort zone and explore sides of you as a human, parent, leader, colleague, team member, or business owner that you might not have explored before. I work with all parts ... MIND, BODY, and SOUL.

Public Speaker
I am a passionate and uplifting speaker, who lights up any space and gets positive energy flowing. My specialty is presentations and simple interactive workshops on Burnout and Depression Prevention.
An online or in person workshop to help identify signs of burnout or depression and provide simple tools to help stop the burnout cycle is absolutely effective.
Here is an example of a recent online workshop on FOCUS.
This is what Julie Muskat said about the Focus Workshop:
"The Focus Workshop was exactly what I needed to start the year off: a chance to hone in on what is important to me and identify/develop specific tools to stay focused on my goals and values throughout the busy year. Every workshop with Paula is a chance to learn something new, grow my 'toolkit,' meet wonderful people, and walk away feeling equipped, refreshed, and inspired!"
Six Key Elements of Confidence
Confidence is key in creating big visions and setting goals. Dreaming big. Courage is needed to start taking action that will lead to making your dreams a reality. With Confidence, you are better prepared to take uncomfortable and courageous action.
Growth happens from taking uncomfortable action!
Journaling
We all have the power to decide and choose how we react or respond to external situations and other people. In order to truly take hold of this power it is important to create some distance between your inner self and the thoughts you produce in your mind. Journaling is a powerful tool to start creating that much needed distance and space. Change your perspective through writing things down!
Visualization
The practice of visualization gives you focus and clarity on not only what you want to aim for in life (short and long term), but through visualizing how you want to feel at some point in the future, after something you desire has actually taken place. You can start to enjoy the vision coming true already in the process of getting there. Find joy along the way. The essence of life is enjoying the entire journey.
Gratitude
Practicing gratitude is like the magic pill to lift your spirits. It is truly a super power, which takes you from feeling down to instantly feeling lighter and more positive. We all have so many things to be grateful for each and every moment, and reminding ourselves of what we are grateful for is like removing the dark clouds blurring our vision sometimes.
Forgiveness
Forgiving yourself is comparable to letting go of burdens that you carry with you at all times, things from the past that you cannot change. It’s a process of allowing yourself to move on and making peace with yourself. Through forgiveness you make space for new positive experiences or lessons of growth in your heart and mind.
Energy
Everything is energy! What type of energy do you bring to the table? The choice is yours and you have full control over the level of energy and the type of vibration you project from within in all situations. Realizing this power is step one and taking charge and control over your personal energy is next.
Humor
Humor is the spice of life. Laughter and even a smile has the ability to change the energy in a space and lighten everyone up. Try just being silly or cracking a stupid joke and see the positive effects this has on you and everyone around. When was the last time you laughed at yourself? Those are the best times.
Recognize
Recognizing your current place and state of being is the foundation for any change in any direction.
envision
Envision simply means dreaming and knowing the desires of your heart, visualizing where you want to go and how you imagine yourself at a point in the future.
shift
Shifting is taking concrete steps to change your perspective and taking responsibility for your thoughts, actions and emotions.
transformation
Transformation happens as you follow these steps … it is not necessarily an end result, but a gradual process that takes place throughout the REST process.
REST Steps
But Don’t Just Take It From Me! See My Client Reviews Below...
I decided to participate in Paula's 7 Week Transformation Movement group coaching program because I felt that I needed to change something. So far, I accepted changes and tried to cope with them, but I never managed to change something on my own volition. I realized that I needed to do something if I wanted to evolve and improve. And this happened! The small steps that I learned in this program are fully implemented in my life and they help! Sometimes I still feel overwhelmed and I have decided to continue with the personal coaching program to have her support in this journey. Thank you Paula!

The 6-week challenge is giving me what I want. It’s changing my thinking. It’s changing everything about me. I’m really enjoying the course. It’s giving me more ideas and more views on what I think and see things. I really love the course. The lectures, my God, are really good.
It’s helping me a lot. It’s changing everything.

Learning how to reflect about myself more stuck with me and applying reflections and thoughts during the challenge to real life. Open mind, perspectives, reflecting. The TIM This Is Me Mentoring program has been so valuable and is what makes our Pre Professional Program different and better than all others.
The daily activity was very helpful to think deeper and allow time for yourself to reflect sometimes finding time during the day to do the challenge can be hard but when you do find that time it is worth it and relaxes you and your mind in a way.

The TIM Dancer Experience for Individuals and Dance Schools
Our programs combine various philosophies and commonly available tools and methods to raise the level of self-confidence and find new perspectives. We have tried and tested these and many other methods and ways to work ourselves, and have adapted them to work specifically in the world of dance.
We want our programs to work especially for young dancers, dance students and dance teachers, which is why all finished programs have been and continue to be co-created together with groups of young dancers and dance students as well as dance teachers, using their continuous feedback and personal wishes as guidelines to what is included in the programs.
