"Mia gives you wings." - Cecilia M. -
“Mia understands movement better than almost anyone I’ve spoken with in my eleven years of climbing. She combines this with strength training knowledge and having wisdom beyond her years to provide intelligent and effective coaching support. In just a few months of working with Mia, I’ve come to understand movement patterns and the biomechanics behind climbing at an advanced level, as well as how to employ mental strategies to show my best self on the wall.
My strength and skill set have broadened greatly since I began working with Mia, improving from having sent one V7 indoors last year, to sending V10 outdoors this past week. I was initially hesitant to work with a coach virtually (as I live several states away), but Mia’s dedication to my process and ability to implement tools like video analysis proved my hesitation unnecessary. She’s been pivotal to breaking into advanced bouldering grades, as well as me finding enjoyment in climbing again, now in my forties after a several year hiatus from climbing.
I recommend Mia endlessly for those seeking climbing improvement, whether you’re in Colorado or elsewhere. She has a true gift with providing professional, engaging support, no matter your climbing level, experience, or age demographic.”

“Coach Mia is incredibly thoughtful and detailed, strategically introducing new exercises that refine my skills while building confidence and commitment. Beyond our sessions together, she has created a highly-individualized plan that targets mental growth, addresses strength-based weaknesses, and systematically improves technique.
Thanks to her expertise and dedication, I’ve seen measurable improvements in both my technique and mindset. I cannot recommend her more for anyone wanting to improve their climbing!”

“Having Mia as my coach has been one of the most helpful and fun experiences I’ve had in my climbing career. Her positive and encouraging attitude is infectious and her love for the sport of climbing is inspiring. Her years of experience competing is evidenced by her depth of knowledge of movement and technique. She has a real gift for communication as well — she takes complex movement and breaks it down in a way that’s super easy to understand and apply. Her cues really just click.
She’s especially great at coaching dynamic movement and coordination climbs and has a sharp sense of body positioning. I always feel like she knows exactly when to push me and when to scale things to keep progress feeling smooth and motivating. Her style is clear, encouraging, and really effective, and I highly recommend her coaching for any up and coming or experienced climbers looking to expand their skill set and improve their climbing.”

“Working with Mia has been such a wonderful experience for me! I was looking to improve my technique, become more knowledgeable, and be a more efficient climber, and Mia has helped tremendously! She is quite skilled and my technique has noticeably improved since working with her. Mia has really helped me understand why certain body positioning and techniques work well and why others may not be as efficient/effective. She is personable, professional, and patient, not to mention very passionate about what she does. She is great at explaining the reasoning behind things, and makes it easy for me to understand.
If you are looking for a climbing coach to teach you how to climb effectively and efficiently - whether you climb competitively, outside, or as a hobby and are looking to improve - I highly recommend reaching out to Mia!”

“Mia is an unbelievably dedicated coach, climber, and athlete. Her commitment to both improving her own craft and the skills and confidence of the athletes she coaches is inspiring, and something I hope to implement in my own life a bit better. Anyone who has had the pleasure of working with Mia knows that she will never leave you with an unsatisfying or under-detailed explanation of exactly how you can improve and how she is going to support you. To anyone considering Mia’s services, know that you’ll be in good hands.”
