ABOUT JAKE JOHNSTONE
PMBIA L3 CERTIFIED INSTRUCTOR | WILDERNESS FIRST RESPONDER
MENTAL HEALTH WILDERNESS FIRST AIDER
Hi, I'm Jake (He/Him), owner and lead coach of The Mind Mountain. I'm passionate about mountain biking, personal growth, and helping others have more fun on the trails.
In my early days as a PMBIA Instructor & Guide on the 'North Shore,' I loved seeing small tweaks transform a rider's control and confidence. But when I encountered a mentee with a mental block from a past injury, no amount of technical skill training alone could help her overcome it on the trail.
This led me on a journey into sports psychology, mental training, and embodiment through facing my own challenges. Along the way, I've been fortunate enough to learn the tools to help riders work through mental barriers in ways that do not increase their likelihood of crashing or injury. Now, as a regular rider who’s been there, I’m excited to help you unlock your full potential!
