Erica Brandell

Hi, I’m Erica! I’m the founder and Mental Performance Consultant (MPC) behind Behind the Curtain Consulting.

My journey started in the performing arts, specifically classical ballet, where I spent countless hours training, rehearsing, and performing. From the outside, it looked like I was doing everything I needed to succeed. But behind the curtain, I was battling self-doubt, perfectionism, pressure, and the mental challenges that so many performers and athletes experience. At the time, I didn’t realize my mind played such a significant role in my performance and career aspirations.

Today, I help other athletes and performers of all ages unlock their potential by understanding the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and performance. Together, we build the awareness, confidence, and mental skills needed to navigate challenges, perform with purpose, and become the best version of themselves both on the field, stage, court, or studio, and beyond.

Because great performances don't just happen when the spotlight comes on, they're built behind the curtain.
