Unlock Your Potential in Sport, Business, and Life

Nathan is one of the rare mentors with genuine insight into the deep connection between our rich inner world and external performance. Play Awake presents a clear and actionable framework for understanding how elite athletes both perceive and create in the highest-pressure moments

Teaming up with Nathan Healey has been so much more than just finding a tennis coach; Nathan is my life coach! The Play Awake philosophy works on every aspect of life and the more we work on ‘turning around’ any negative or stressful beliefs, the better person I become. Additionally, the more peaceful and content my life becomes, the higher level of tennis is produced. Knowing everything I know now, I wouldn’t want it any other way.

“I feel safe and nurtured with Marnie, whose profound compassion and trustworthiness shine through. A passionate spiritual practitioner, she has deeply engaged with The Work of Byron Katie as both client and facilitator, alongside other meditative traditions. Her dedication to self-work is admirable and essential for a facilitator. Marnie is a beautiful person and exceptional guide — I wholeheartedly recommend her!”

I’ve known Nathan for 15 years, meeting at a silent retreat where we playfully tossed a tennis ball, sparking a lasting bond. We’ve collaborated at the Omega Institute and share ongoing voice texts and ideas. Nathan’s passion for his spiritual journey and helping others shines as he blends Byron Katie’s work, my “whole human athlete” concepts, and his experiences as a top tennis player, coach, dad, and husband into his unique “Play Awake!” framework. His authentic energy lights up coaching, on-court work, and conversations. Having read his upcoming book and workbook, I admire how they guide reflection and awareness in a fun, impactful way. I highly recommend Nathan’s “Play Awake!” approach to navigate challenges or embrace daily life with presence.

“I was first introduced to the work in 2011 by Marnie and have been doing The Work facilitation sessions with her now for 14 years. I find that Marnie holds such safe, expansive and non judgmental space that I have been able to clear out cobwebs in my brain that no amount of therapy could ever help me with. Marnie has helped me grow and transform and heal in the most profound ways from her facilitation of the work with me. If you have the opportunity to work with her, please do. It will be a gift to yourself. “

“Nathan Healey was not only an incredible tennis coach but also a powerful mentor who guided me far beyond the court. His rare ability to combine sports with spirituality created a transformative coaching experience unlike any other. Grounded, insightful, and deeply intuitive, Nathan empowers you to grow not just as an athlete, but as a person.”

I’ve known Nathan for most of my life. He’s supported me through countless roadblocks and, without Play Awake, I doubt I would have been able to face many of the challenges I’ve encountered. Play Awake helped me manage anxiety and depression, and — importantly — to keep showing up even when I didn’t want to. Nathan has given me confidence I never expected and practical tools to reach for when I feel like disappearing. It’s been a privilege working with him, and I’m excited to see the person I’ll become

Nathan is not a coach, he is a passionate friend who wants to see his friends grow in tennis and in life. Play Awake is a philosophy for life, it just happens to assist in producing a consistent and proficient tennis level. Nathan has grown so much throughout his life, I’d wager his old self might not even like his current self all that much! Through this growth Nathan understands that what people are does not limit what they can become, embodying this allows him to tap into the potential we all have inside us!
