"Kevin Rose"

As a manual therapist, Kevin helps people understand stress and
how to counterbalance it. After a 24 year career, he has
discovered consistencies in treatment protocols that allow him to
lower client stress levels instantaneously. Using a very simple
technique, he can help you enjoy peace of mind in seconds and
learn to remain calm in any situation. On September 11, 2001,
Kevin knew our country was going to war, so he began creating a
program, The CATalyst, to help combat veterans reintegrate home.
To say, “welcome home and thank you for your service” is nice,
but empty. He believes if you are going to ask someone to
sacrifice their life you must also be prepared to help them
integrate back home smoothly. The military trains men and women
to be on high alert, all the time, to protect themselves and
their comrades. The challenge is the military doesn’t teach how
to turn down the high alert when men and women complete their
service. As a result, people return home from war amped up, still
ready to fight.  The CATalyst is a human-animal interaction
that helps people recognize and counterbalance stress in seconds.
The kicker, the people learn to calm themselves while face to
face with tigers (through fences, of course). The program works
in conjunction with a private animal rescue sanctuary and is free
to combat veterans.  Testing The CATalyst program, Kevin
worked with hundreds of “civilians” before he offered the
experience for free to combat veterans.  After collecting
data, the results showed significant stress relief in all
demographics, from 18 to 80 years of age, not just the veteran
community. Teaching people to counterbalance and re-pattern the
fight, flight, freeze response is their mission and is incredibly
effective in lowering stress levels. Today, they fund the free
combat veteran programs with paid private sessions to the public
and the generous help of donors. In May, Kevin completed a book
with international best-selling author, Graham Spence called, The
CATalyst Experience; How Rescued Tigers Heal Trauma-Scarred
Souls.
