    Before — The Challenge

    What Karen came to me with

    Had already
    An elite athletic career, a thriving mountain bike camp for kids, and the desire to guide people out of a state of stress and overwhelm and into the space of lightness and ease.
    Didn’t have
    A brand and website that presented her coaching and mentoring practice to her ideal client.

    The substance was already there. Karen had years of work as an elite athlete and pro mountain bike racer behind her. She’d built Vail Valley RIDE — a kids’ summer mountain bike camp — into a community institution. And now she was ready to guide people through the kind of internal work — nervous‑system‑led, athletic‑identity, healing‑centered — that doesn’t show up on most coaches’ websites.

    1 Marketing strategy for Vail Valley RIDE

    Built a comprehensive social and email marketing strategy that set up the summer 2024 launch of Vail Valley RIDE. Resulting in the most successful launch in its 8‑year history, generated record‑breaking signups.

    2 Brand & website design for coaching practice

    Developed the brand identity, messaging, and content for Karen’s coaching and mentoring practice. Named her ideal client as athletes navigating the internal work of being a person inside a body that performs. Positioned her at the intersection of three things: endurance sports, emotional intelligence, and deeper healing. Then built an online presence that reflected it.

    3 Content development to increase visibility

    Collaborated on the creation of both short and long‑form content to showcase Karen’s teachings and work.
