Hi. My name is caroline burckle.

As an Athlete, Performance Coach, Artist, & Entrepreneur, I have spent my life understanding my physical and emotional experiences and how they are interconnected.

When I decided to transition from being an Olympic athlete, I continued to chase that high - the validation, the “enoughness”. I quite literally ran my body into bouts of depression and unnerving injuries. It began to dawn on me that my mind and body were incredibly interconnected - our physical performances are largely impacted by our mental health. I thought, “there must be a better way to do all of this”. “This” being a deeper understanding of how athletes operate on a somatic level. What depths do they go to mentally and emotionally? How can we optimize their brains for sport AND life? How can athletes build a mental health support system during their career? How can they succeed AND take care of their minds? So, I went and secured my Masters in Sport Psychology. I grabbed a shovel to dig up my own patterns in therapy. And I then started an 8-year long business with the incredible Olympic Medalist Rebecca Soni, where we had a team of elite athletes helping youth athletes improve their mental wellness in sport. When we decided to move on from that, I took some time off, and dove into working with high performers with Finding Mastery.

While this nutshell version could never summarize the intricacies of my journey, I hope it can provide some context for why I am here, and why I believe we can truly rewrite the script where humans fire on all cylinders - physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally.

I believe:

  1. Feelings are information, not a prescription. If you learn how to understand what your feelings are telling you in both your body and mind, you can work with them and not against them.

  1. The goal isn’t only to become something great, the goal is also to know who you are when you become it.


As my path continues, my work continues to center around helping people heal their bodies and their minds together. It blends creativity, empathy, and movement to reveal my passions and help others uncover theirs.

I am happy you are here.
