Hi. My name is caroline burckle.

I’m an athlete, performance coach, artist, and entrepreneur. My passion lies in understanding how our physical and emotional experiences are intertwined.

When I moved on from my Olympic athlete days, I kept chasing that feeling of validation and "enoughness," which led to some tough times with depression and injuries. That's when it hit me—our physical performance is so connected to our mental health. I wanted to dive deeper into how athletes tick, both mentally and emotionally, and find ways to optimize their minds for both sport and life. So, I got my Master's in Sport Psychology, dug into my own patterns through therapy, and started a business with Olympic Medalist Rebecca Soni. Together, we helped youth athletes improve their mental wellness. We believed that with the right support, people can thrive physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally in both sport and life. It was a wonderful venture.

I now coach high performers to handle stress and pressure in corporate environments with Finding Mastery. I also love creating art that shows the connection between mind and body.

On this site, you will find my artwork, podcasts I’ve been a part of, and some writing I do from time to time. I'm really glad you're here.
