“I empower people to live better by helping them increase their self-awareness and recognize that they have the ability within themselves to create change in their life.”

Arianna Martignetti, Ed.D., is a mental performance consultant who works with individual athletes, weekend warriors and teams at all levels, including competitive youth, high school, and collegiate levels, as well as recreational athletes.

As a lifelong learner, Arianna is motivated by connecting with others and engaging in activities or conversations that fuel her natural curiosity. Having experienced injuries and mental barriers as an athlete herself, Arianna wants to be the mental performance consultant for her clients that she was not able to have when she needed one.
