Why Bring in a Specialist?
Because When Athletes Are Rooted in Self, Performance Flourishes
You already have a strong system—coaches, trainers, sports psychologists, staff. My role is to integrate seamlessly into what you're already doing by offering:
​
-
Trauma-informed support through EMDR & Somatic Experiencing
-
Emotion-focused work rooted in Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
-
Holistic healing through Transpersonal Psychology
-
Lived experience in the high-achievement space—balancing excellence and internal well-being
​​
This is the kind of care that helps athletes stay connected to their purpose in sport while building a deeper, more rooted sense of self—supporting whole-person development and emotional endurance in high-pressure environments.

​Performance matters—and so does the person behind it. My work helps programs build lasting systems that support both. By providing athletes with tools for emotional regulation, identity development (in and out of sport), and inner resilience, we create sustainable success from the inside out. This isn’t about choosing wellness over performance—it’s about recognizing that long-term excellence depends on whole-person care. When athletes are grounded, connected, and supported, peak performance becomes not just possible, but repeatable.
Lived It. Studied It. Now I Help Others Move Through It.
Why Me?
Hi there, I'm Eike Daube
I specialize in working with athletes and professionals who are battling invisible stress: trauma, perfectionism, burnout, and identity confusion.
​
My approach blends clinical expertise with lived experience, offering grounded, non-traditional care that’s deeply effective. I know how to walk the line between performance culture and authentic wellness—and I bring that balance to every team I work with.
