I want to know a little bit about you…

You might be here because…

You’ve experienced the loss—of a person, a role, a relationship, or a version of yourself—and you can’t seem to “mentally lock back in” the way you used to in your sport or career.

You’re grieving, but instead of slowing down, you’ve doubled down on training, work, or control—and now you’re not sure if you’re coping or avoiding.

Your relationship with food, weight, or your body has become more rigid, more consuming, or more secretive—especially as a way to manage stress, performance pressure, or emotional pain.

You’ve gone through an injury, trauma, or high-stress experience, and now your body feels unpredictable—your confidence, trust, or performance isn’t where it used to be.

You’re performing well on the outside, but internally you feel disconnected, numb, or like you’re just going through the motions after a significant loss or life disruption.

You’re used to being disciplined and in control, but food, training, or your body has started to feel like the only place you can exert that control.

You’ve experienced trauma (in or out of your sport/career), and it’s showing up in your focus, your anxiety, your relationships, or your ability to feel fully present.

You’re struggling to return to performance after time away—whether due to grief, injury, burnout, or transition—and you don’t recognize yourself in the process.

You feel pressure to be “mentally tough” or grateful, which makes it harder to acknowledge the grief, depression, or anxiety you’re actually carrying.

You don’t just want symptom relief—you want to understand how your grief, trauma, or relationship with control is impacting your performance and your life, and how to move forward without losing yourself in the process.

Testimonials

"Dr. Natasha Trujillo has a very unique skill set that can be utilized in many different settings.  She was an incredible asset to our organization and served our football program in a variety of capacities.  Dr. Trujillo was able to cultivate an authentic culture within our coaching staff that enabled us to become closely united through discussions based on truth and mutual respect for each other's views. She was also the catalyst for a decisive change in team chemistry that allowed our student-athletes to create a more sacred bond and in turn see increased performance on and off the field. Dr. Trujillo was also incredibly diligent with her time in one on one sessions that facilitated positive change in mental health and physical performance. I highly recommend Dr. Trujillo to any individual or team who is seeking ways to enhance their mental and physical wellbeing."
