Meet Karelle
Karelle Edwards-Perry, LMHCA, CMPC
I am a former professional 100 meter-hurdler and a 5-time Team Canada member. My journey has been far from linear. A back injury took me off the track for 3 years. Although I made a successful return to the track, I experienced performance anxiety and self-doubt, struggled with low-confidence and developed a fear of reinjuring myself. Because of the “toughen up” culture in sports, no attention was paid to the mental aspect of my recovery. Mental health is an integral component of success and performance. I became a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate and Certified Mental Performance Consultant® to normalize taking care of our mental health and to help people overcome mental barriers to their well-being.
As a professional athlete who has experienced both the empowering and oppressive aspects of sports culture, I have a particular interest in helping women find their voice and learn to trust their instincts.
