Athletic Background

Allie was a three-sport athlete in high school before competing in both field hockey and lacrosse for four years at the Division III level. Her passion for sport—and the teamwork, discipline, enjoyment, and lessons in leadership and resilience it fosters—continues to drive her work today.

She thrives on staying active and competitive, participating in adult field hockey leagues, snowboarding, and hiking, while constantly challenging herself to grow physically and mentally.‍

Approach to Group Work

‍Allie brings a distinctive approach to group mental performance work by blending personalization with highly interactive, engaging experiences. She recognizes that no two individuals or teams are the same, and tailors each session to meet participants where they are, creating space for meaningful connection and growth. Through opportunities for self-reflection, open dialogue, and real-time application, she keeps participants actively involved rather than passively learning. Most importantly, Allie ensures that every workshop translates into action—equipping performers with clear, practical tools and strategies they can immediately apply in their sport, work, and daily lives.
