Unlock Your Potential. Build Your Resilience. Improve Your Life.
You serve, protect, and lead — but that strength doesn’t come without sacrifice. High-stress environments, long hours, and constant demands take their toll on your body and mind.
Rise is here to take our guardians to another level by improving your focus, energy, and well-being.
Through wellness workshops, retreats, and resources, we provide the tools for military, veterans & first responders to recharge, rebuild, and rise.
The Essential Pillars
Sleep, Nutrition, Exercise, and Mindfulness aren’t just buzzwords — they’re the proven foundation of a thriving lifestyle. And everything we do in Rise was designed specifically for guardians like you.
SLEEP
Fuel for Your Mental & Physical Edge
Sleep isn’t a luxury — it’s your secret weapon. And there’s a massive impact of good longterm sleep habits & achieving true rest. Quality sleep is the cornerstone of:
Laser-sharp focus
Emotional resilience
Faster recovery from stress
Rise helps you develop real-world strategies to improve your rest, so you can wake up ready to tackle anything the day throws your way.
NUTRITION
Eat for Strength & Performance
Food is the fuel that powers you up. Don’t miss out on the benefits of eating meals packed with the right nutrients:
Sustained energy
Mental clarity
A stronger immune system
Rise teaches you simple, effective nutrition strategies so you can feel stronger, think clearer, and stay on top of your game.
EXERCISE
Strengthen & Stretch Your Body & Your Mind
Fitness is more than physical: it’s how you build mental toughness and resilience.
Relieve stress and boost confidence
Improve energy and mood
Build strength and endurance
Rise helps you create a fitness routine that works for your life and goals, whether you’re chasing peak performance or looking to get back in the game.
MINDFULNESS
Find Your Focus to Master the Moment
Mindfulness gives you the tools to stay calm, sharp, and in control, no matter the circumstance. Simple practices like meditation and breathing exercises help:
Manage stress
Navigate tough situations with clarity
Feel more connected and in control of your life
Rise shows you how to make mindfulness part of your routine, so you can thrive under pressure—and enjoy the quieter moments, too.
Put Your Mask On First
Your role as a guardian often focuses on others — but when was the last time you put your own oxygen mask on first?
Prioritizing your health & well-being doesn’t make you weak — it makes you unstoppable.
Through Rise, we help you build productive habits and routines so you can face every day & every challenge with confidence.
Our Events
You’ve always been there for others. Now it’s time to show up & take care of yourself.
Everything we organize is free for you: we cover the logistics & the costs. All you need to do is block out the time to make it happen — a challenge on its own, but well worth the effort!
Many of our events are offered online via Zoom, so just join from wherever you are.
