ABOUT EVIE
Why sport psychology?
Evie has a genuine love and respect for physical activity and sport; with a career in health and fitness journalism
for over 20 years prior to delving into an MSc in Sport
and Exercise Psychology in my mid-30s! Evie loves triathlons and competes in Age Group races, and open water swimming and running events.
"My lightbulb moment came after observing my father, Roberto, who in his late 40s started to use exercise as a coping mechanism for high levels of work related pressure and stress. As he aged, not only did Roberto become trimmer, stronger and fitter physically - he became more confident, and more adventurous and mentally resilient than ever before. That was it for me - I witnessed the cause and effect between physical exercise and mental health and wellbeing; and the positive impact that movement, and sport can have on all facets of life.
​
Sport psychology can make a huge impact on performance - yet it can also prompt self-awareness about how you think, feel and behave in your sport. I feel privileged to be able to offer sport psychology services on the Gold Coast, Brisbane and greater regions."
