In our very first episode of From Head to Toe: The Irish Dancer Wellness Podcast, we’re talking about scope of practice, credentials, and why it matters who dancers are taking advice from.

This conversation came from a real question we received from an Irish dance teacher about qualifications in the wellness space. So we wanted to open up an honest discussion around what different professionals are actually trained to do, where the boundaries are, and how dancers, parents, and teachers can feel more informed when looking for support.

Today, Chloey Turner and Dr. Mitch DeSimone, Performance Psychology Specialist, Certified Mental Performance Consultant, and TCRG, chat about the importance of education, lived experience, collaboration, and knowing when to refer out.

It’s a practical and much-needed conversation for the Irish dance world as we continue to bring strength, psychology, nutrition, recovery, and wellness support into the community in a responsible way.
