Hello and welcome to M.B.C. (Mind Body Connection Orange County)! My name is Lauren Hess and I am a Resilience Trainer focused on helping people link the connection between one’s mind and body in order to enhance performance and fine tune specific aspects of one’s performance. Mental skills training is not something that is limited to individuals, but may also be utilized in a team or group setting to build cohesion and target different traits or specific situations unique to a team. This encourages individual/team performance at its highest potential while managing adversity.

Our mission is to help individuals or teams develop strong mental skills that will continue to grow and evolve into a solid foundation. Much like muscle memory developed through physical skills and repetition, mental skills are important to continually practice in order to quickly adapt to adversity and manage various levels of competition. The mind and body link is vital to performing at the highest level and maintaining a continuous level of play. Once combined both the physical and mental skills will aide in resulting in optimal performance and life success.
