HOPE ACTIVATED

RECLAIM STRENGTH.
REDISCOVER HOPE.

A 30-day strength and recovery experience rooted in Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) — designed to help restore what cancer tried to take.

WHAT IS HOPE ACTIVATED

MOVE BETTER, FEEL STRONGER, LIVE FREER

Hope Activated is a 30-day recovery experience built specifically for individuals impacted by cancer — those currently in treatment or navigating life after.

 

It starts with three personalized Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) sessions (a $600 value, offered at no cost) and expands into simple, supportive practices that restore energy, movement, mindset, and breath.


But it’s more than just a program — it’s personal.

This program was born out of deep suffering. In April of 2025, my daughter Hope was born with a terminal illness. She lived just six days — days that forever changed the way I see pain, love, and what it means to be supported. During that time, my wife and I were carried by our community — through prayers, meals, presence, and care.

That experience ignited something in me: a desire to create a space where others facing unimaginable difficulty could feel that same kind of support.

 

Hope Activated is my response to that calling. It’s a space for those who are walking through cancer to feel seen, supported, and strengthened. To reclaim a sense of control and hope in their bodies.

Whether you’re in treatment or living in the aftermath, I want you to know this: you are not alone, and there is still strength waiting to be activated within you.

WHAT IS MAT

BRING MUSCLES BACK ONLINE

Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) is a hands-on neuromuscular therapy focused on identifying and correcting muscle inhibition, the root cause of muscle tightness and pain. By addressing these underlying issues, MAT aims to improve the body’s overall function and performance, offering a more effective solution than simply treating symptoms.

Cancer and its treatments — like chemotherapy, radiation, and extended periods of inactivity — can take a major toll on your muscles and nervous system. It’s common to feel weaker, less stable, or disconnected from your body, even long after treatment ends.

Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) helps restore that connection. By reactivating muscles that have become inhibited, MAT improves stability, reduces discomfort, and helps you regain confidence in your movement during recovery.
