Performance Enhancement & Development Programs (PEDs)

Performance Enhancement & Development Programs (PEDs) are designed with your goals in mind.  We look at an aspect of your life you wish to improve, for example, an athletic performance.  We would discuss the areas that may be holding you back from the improvement you seek.  What is holding you back from attaining your goals and reaching fulfillment?  So many factors can influence the outcome…

Injury Rehabilitation and Prevention

Is an old injury affecting your body’s ability to function in a balanced and optimal way?  Do you have a tendency to over-train and keep reinjuring yourself?  Injury rehabilitation and prevention are areas which can benefit from PED Programs. 

Performance Anxiety

Do you have performance anxiety?  This is common in academics, athletics, music, dance, vocal and drama, and many other performing and creative arts. The anxiety can have emotional and physiologic origins and can respond well to PED Programs.

Stress Reduction

Two types of problems often occur.  Quite often, our stress release activity becomes stressful.  For example, taking the same single minded extremism into your stress reliever (exercise) will likely just create more stress.  Learning to channel that determination in a positive and healthy way is a critical step.

Also common are the obstacles that prevent you from achieving maximum benefit from your choice of exercise, hiking, fitness/wellness pursuit.   Is the energy flow in your body less than ideal? Is a lack of sleep making your workouts harder to manage? Do you need help with getting proper rest or nutrition?  All of those obstacles often create additional stress.  Zero Balancing, HeartMath, Acupuncture can all help on their own or, when used together, can have a synergistic effect to improve performance.

Take the Steps Forward to Rediscover Your Authentic Self

Lorie has found that these same concepts and skills used to enhance and develop performance in athletics or performing and creative arts are also useful in coming home to a more authentic self.  So many of us are caught up in the rush (and rut) of busy schedules and busy lives with growing kids, aging parents, demanding careers.  It can be difficult to make the time necessary to remember who we are beneath all the responsibilities and all the conditioning.
The PED program can be helpful in developing a practice that helps you get back in touch with these parts of self that are sometimes lost or buried.  Based on your goals, Lorie focuses on the areas that need the most direction and development and provides you with a plan to achieve these goals.
