From Wheelchair
Basketball to Beyond
When Arey transitioned to adaptive golf, he was presented with new challenges, especially in mastering the game’s mental aspects.
Golf requires the ability to remain present, calm, and focused — to find and maintain flow amidst the competition’s pressures and personal expectations.
Arey uses Healium’s virtual reality and biofeedback tools to achieve the flow state necessary for peak golf performance, such as mindfulness, visualization, and stress management.
“When I’m playing golf, I don’t have time to practice or learn mindfulness techniques.
Healium gives me a practical way to practice the exact skills I need at those crucial moments on the course.”

Healium is designed to support athletes like Arey in their quest for mental fitness and competition readiness. This preparation is critical for performing at the highest levels and ensuring that Arey’s approach to golf and competition is healthy and sustainable.
“Healium helped me rehearse the necessary skills to remain composed when faced with frustration during high levels of competition.”
Arey’s journey
Arey’s journey underscores the message that being game-day-ready involves more than physical training; it requires a commitment to mental health and developing strategies to manage emotions, focus attention, and enter the flow state for peak performance.
“Becoming an elite athlete requires the perfect storm of mental fortitude, high tolerance for discomfort, and athletic ability- like muscle response and body awareness.
Those things alone require an immense output from your entire body. And we’re never really taught how to recover after a practice or competition.”
“Healium allows my entire body to perform a full reset.
Its immersive nature is unlike any other when it comes to disconnecting my mind from my body.”
