Mental skills training and psychological peak performance coaching and consulting for sport, business, performing arts, and wellness.
We are a bespoke mental performance consulting service that caters to individuals, teams and groups seeking that missing edge over their current performance outcomes. At AURA PPC we use an eclectic approach in our mental performance services by using scientific underpinnings of performance psychology and integrating other complimentary modalities such as mindfulness, biofeedback and hypnotherapy. This allows us to address both the process involved in developing a performers’ mindset' – using knowledge, skills and abilities – and the execution of these performance-based tools to enhance peak performance states. Our services support clientele in the areas of sport, business and performing arts, as well as those seeking personal performance guidance to improve their overall health and wellbeing. We are here to help empower the psychological and behavioural change needed to optimize your personal performance outcomes, while creating a stronger foundation for future performance needs and overall wellbeing. WHAT WE DO:
At AURA PPC we understand, assess and manage the psychological, cognitive, emotional, behavioural and psychophysiological inhibitors of consistent, excellent performance. We are uniquely specialized to engage in a broad range of activities including the identification, development and execution of the mental and emotional knowledge, skills and abilities required for excellence in various performance domains. Additionally, we address the improvement of performance environments to facilitate more efficient development, consistent execution and positive experiences for performers, athletes and/or business personal.
