Born in the former USSR and immigrating to Calgary, Alberta Canada, with his family as a small child, Natan began a 30 (plus) year journey into Martial Arts. At 15 he took up the sport of Power Tumbling and rose to be ranked #1 in his division in Alberta. Developing his mental training skills, he pursued an education in Medical Hypnotherapy, under the tutelage of Dr. Michael Preston, Director of the Institute of Medical Hypnotherapy, in Phoenix Arizona. After becoming certified in his early 20's, Natan began working with his Team 2000 Olympic Men's Gymnastic team mates, and other artists and elite athletes from Cirque Du Soleil, as a Mental Training Specialist.

Since then, he has developed and adapted 23 Mental, Physical & Emotional drills and exercises to help Peak Performers in all disciplines and walks of life. Working with some of the most successful and challenging individuals and groups, giving concrete and actionable peak performance coaching, is what separates Natan Verkhovsky from others.
