High demand environments push us to be our best—but they don’t always leave us room to be human and make mistakes. The weight of everyday demands and expectations—whether in sport, work, or life—can be overwhelming. I’m Dani Kerr, a former NCAA D1 athlete turned therapist, facilitator, and speaker. I know what it’s like to thrive under pressure, but I also know what can happen when your identity is deeply tied to performance. At KerrFitMind, I help athletes, high performers, and anyone at a crossroads navigate the messy, awe-inspiring work of being human, whether in sport or life.
I have experience in athletes, burnout, career shifts, invisible illness, performance, injuries, chronic pain, TBI, ADHD, ASD, life changing diagnosis, (dis)ability, and sudden change. I am a proud Queer, Neurodivergent, Maltese-Canadian, and work with individuals to embrace their identity, find deeper meaning, and lean into what makes life most purposeful.
I take a meaning centred, experiential approach, drawing heavily from existential theory, coherence therapy, narrative therapy, and attachment theory. Choosing a therapist can be overwhelming. Feel free to book a free 20 minute consultation to meet the human behind these words. Wishing you health and wellness moving forward. In service and care- Dani
