About Coach Mimi:

I'm a Master Certified Life Coach with a specialty in anxiety and I LOVE this work!

In my youth, performance anxiety was the main reason I eventually quit band, orchestra, choir, and theater.

I was told things like:

And while those pieces of advice are better than nothing, I have since learned skills and concepts that are much more powerful and helpful.

My path to coaching:

When my youngest child started pre-school, I went back to college to finish my degree
Life with 6 children revealed lots of areas where I "didn't know what I didn't know" and needed outside help and information
My degree, plus this search for answers, inadvertently put me on a path to now being in my 9th year as a coach with over a dozen certifications
I've worked for 4 different coaching programs, accruing 10,000+ coaching sessions with adults in over 50 countries
My clients all wish they had known these powerful coaching tools decades earlier; their lives would have been so much easier.
During my son's last marching season, I had the opportunity to help one of the soloists with his nerves. The experience planted a seed in me to distill my coaching experience and tools down to some simple but powerful help for performing arts students. That's where Performance Anxiety Ninja was born.

A Little More Personal...

I struggled for years with infertility AND I'm a blessed mom of 6 amazing kids. It took 18 years to get them all here.
Throughout my childhood, I was OBSESSED with horses.
I've given birth to twins AND a baby over 10 lbs.
I have 6 grandchildren AND a teenager.
I am an awesome cook AND I don't really like to cook anymore.
I received my first college degree when I was 48!
I REALLY wish I didn't like chocolate. I especially wish I didn't like brownies.
I never imagined I could love a career as much as I love life coaching!
