    After working with Persistence Psych for the last few years, I have found that performance is less stressful, I am less hard on myself and I’m starting to adopt a growth mindset. I would tell other performers to definitely give it a try. It has changed the way I view performing.

    The 1 on 1 consultation with Arianna completely changed my perspective on the mental side of being a dancer, but also most other aspects of my life. If you are looking to find effective strategies for yourself, as a unique individual, to perform to your best ability, I would definitely give it a try.
