Created by Darci Ecker-Popiel, certified mental performance coach and founder of EPOPS Performance.

I help people who are ready to push past limitations and grow—from athletes and entrepreneurs to anyone seeking personal or performance growth—through mental skills coaching and somatic (body-based) coaching. My approach combines the science of the brain, the nervous system, and personalized guidance to create lasting results.
I’ve spent my career reshaping how athletes approach performance by tapping into the body’s innate ability to succeed. While my background is rooted in equestrian sport, where I’ve represented provincially, nationally, and internationally, my work extends to anyone on a mission to grow beyond their current limitations. I have worked with teams and individuals from local to international levels, bringing decades of experience: certified Mental Performance Mastery (MPM), CHA-certified coach, and educator (BEd) to guide your journey with expertise and insight.
Working with me isn’t about short-term motivation—it’s about lasting change. Using both mind and body techniques, we help you:
If you’re ready to unlock your nervous system, step beyond limitations, and grow, you’ve found your path. Together, we’ll make your next level feel possible.
I love mental performance 🧠✨ — but the tools only work when your nervous system is regulated.

Traditional coaching often focuses on mindset alone. But real transformation happens when you address the nervous system—the command center of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
Our methods are rooted in polyvagal theory, neuroplasticity research, and somatic psychology. We don't just help you think differently—we help you feel and be different.
This isn’t just coaching—it’s a system for transformation. If you’re ready to step into your full potential, this is your path forward.
