Authenticity
Happiness and confidence are a result of accepting who you truly are, and designing your life around your personality, spirit, and character. We strive to help you know yourself inside and out because the very foundation of your success will come from the strength of your self-awareness.
Play
Even therapy should be fun. Just because we dive deep and spend time unravelling the most complex object in the world (our big beautiful brains), doesn’t mean that we should approach it with fear and hesitation. Our 1 on 1 sessions are lighthearted and focus on the relationship between client and therapist first and foremost.
Competition
We believe that life is just a little more fulfilling when some competition is involved. Whether it’s stretching your comfort zone on an outdoor adventure, pushing yourself to improve on your personal bests, increasing the impact of your business, or playing match play with your buddies on the golf course, we learn to thrive by having the opportunity to test ourselves through struggle, heartache, and failure. It makes those victories, and the relationships along the journey, that much sweeter.
Growth Mindset
Lean into discomfort and seek out new ways to learn. From our delicate ecosystem to our most intimate relationships, there is a sweet spot between order and chaos that breeds health and improvement. Complacency breeds stagnation and full-blown retirement kill us quicker. We are beings designed to experience the richness of life by constantly improving the things we invest our time and energy into.
Influencing Others
Mindbuffs was formed with the vision of having sport and performance psychology dramatically impact the ways in which high-performance industries develop healthy, research-informed cultures. These cultures are the breeding grounds of our society and individuals need to have the opportunity to live with authenticity, purpose, and passion within a relationship-focused environment. We believe that sport psychology can pave the way for a more accepting and conscientious society while simultaneously improving the performance of individuals, teams, and organizations.
Education
Whether we are working 1 on 1, in group settings, or have the privilege of being a part of your team/work environment, we absolutely love to teach and educate people about the intricacies of our minds. When you work with us, you will learn how to control your thoughts and feelings, how to hijack parts of your subconscious, and how to enter in and out of flow state. We only ask that you pass the knowledge on!
Body Liberation & Weight Inclusivity
At Mindbuffs, we respect the diversity of body shapes and sizes and believe that health status should never be used with prejudice against the value of an individual. We are designed to thrive when we feel confident in ourselves (and yes, that includes our bodies too)! Our goal is to help you learn to love your body (or even just be okay with it), increase weight inclusivity in our communities, heal social connections, improve self-worth, and bring awareness to toxic diet culture and weight-based oppression.
