Hi, I’m Meghan, founder of Stride, a private practice dedicated to helping athletes and performers unlock their potential and train a critical component of their performance toolbox: their mind.

Before mental performance consulting, I competed as an athlete first. I grew up on the ice and in ice hockey rinks around New England. I also found joy on the soccer field, golf fairway, and dance stage. Each experience shaped my understanding of sport and competition in a variety of ways, while pushing me to develop both physically and mentally.

My primary sport of ice hockey led me to the Maine seacoast where I attended the University of New England and played varsity ice hockey for the Nor’Easters. During my time at UNE, I soon found a passion for psychology, the intersection of the mind and body, and how our mindsets play a critical role in our ability to adapt to adversity, thrive under pressure, and perform our best when it matters most. I graduated from UNE with a B.A. in Psychology, with minors in Coaching and Public Health.

Following undergrad, inspired by my keen interest in the “athlete’s mind", I pursued a M.A. in Sport and Performance Psychology at the University of Denver in Denver, Colorado. The two years I spent in CO fostered an even deeper connection to my personal athletic potential. I explored various mountain ranges, hiked countless miles, and learned to ski, all while pushing my mental fortitude in the classroom and within various consulting spaces.
