Who is Journey PCC?

Hello and welcome! I’m Jay, and I’m excited to be a part of your journey as you transform your aspirations into achievements. Let me tell you some of my story and how I can help you achieve your personal and performance goals!

I founded Journey PCC in 2024. I have always enjoyed coaching and teaching from a young age and loved seeing others accomplish their goals. This started with teaching friends and family to waterski in my childhood and led me to become a high school coach while completing my undergraduate degree, and continuing to coach when I began teaching at the high school level.

My curiosity and love of learning kept me interested in human performance. I read books and articles and watched documentaries, and listened to lectures on strength training, sports psychology, nutrition, sleep, recovery, and various training methodologies for longevity and sports performance. This led me to a master’s degree in coaching studies, where I was more formally introduced to the world of mental performance. The seed was planted, and shortly after completing my degree, I began looking into becoming a Mental Performance Consultant. I left my teaching career and moved across the country to complete a second master’s degree, this time in applied sports psychology.

With Journey, I can combine my experience and expertise in the mind and body to help you reach your goals. Please explore the site to learn more about my services, or contact me directly with any questions. I look forward to the opportunity to work together and support your journey, wherever it takes you.

The Logo

The logo consists of a pathway winding through the mountains with the sun or moon in the distance. Moving to Vancouver Island in 2009 to start my undergraduate degree and being surrounded by mountains and the ocean are something I am grateful for. The way I approach my work and life is similar to going along a path through the mountains. All journeys will be full of climbing and descending, unexpected obstacles, and various points where more than one path will be in front of you. I try to gain wisdom from my experience and those who have given me their time on my journey, recognizing that in order to enjoy the views at the top, sometimes we need to descend or change course, and to try to embrace the moment as we are experiencing it. The sun, or moon, can be rising or setting, depending on your perspective, and what lies beyond the last mountain remains a mystery, waiting for us to one day reach it.

  • I am proud to be a member of the following organizations:

  • Depending on your needs will determine how the sessions are conducted. Typically mental performance consulting and coaching will be online through a secured video link. Should you want more technical coaching vs creating training plans and checking in, coaching can be set up in-person. Personal training is typically in-person.

  • In an attempt to provide my services more accessible, I offer a sliding scale from $90 to $150. For more detail please see my fees page here. Given everyone is on their own unique journey, I am happy to create unique programming for you and as such have a custom fee structure to go with it. This can be discussed initially in a complimentary info session that you can book here.

  • Life happens! If you find that you will need to miss or be late for a session, please communicate with Jay at your earliest convenience. The sooner you can communicate, the sooner an alternative session can be booked with no penalty.

    A cancellation notice of less than 24 hours will result in a 50% charge based on the cost of the session missed.

    If Jay needs to reschedule, he will inform you at the earliest possible time, and whenever possible communicate this at least 24 hours before the session. 

  • If, for any reason, you do not want to continue working together, I support your right to request referral or termination without explanation or justification.

    If you want to change the program that we are doing, or start a different service, I am happy to support you and shift to the new service together.

    If you decide to terminate service, you can choose to return at any time.

  • Awesome! I'm excited to get started and see how I can help you on your journey. To get started, book your complimentary intro session where you can share what you hope to achieve and we can go from there!
