Programs for Patients

I know it's challenging to send your kid across the country, but there is a very special methodology to what GutMonkey does. They challenge people in a safe environment, and they really challenge you to get out of that comfort zone.

What Pat and his team do brilliantly is break the cycle of trauma through experiential programming. They use rhythms, rhymes, songs, breathing exercises and interactive lessons—all in the name of play. People who have suffered trauma don't realize that GutMonkey is helping connect both sides of their brain to create a more complete experience. They're not just giving you an educational lesson. They're creating programs that change your life and allow you to grow.

GutMonkey's approach is never about putting an end line. It's about challenging yourself, testing the waters, and discovering what you're capable of. I remember hiding behind a wall during my sons' first high ropes course because my own fears were so overwhelming. That's when I realized how much my anxieties had transferred to my children. When they're in GutMonkey's hands—people I trust deeply—they're willing to try so much more.

The experience of a GutMonkey program is just fantastic. The experiential learning, getting your hands into it with Pat and his team, and their ability to get people motivated is unparalleled. It's fun, it's experiential, but the learnings people take back – that is everything. There’s a lot of good facilitators out there, but GutMonkey is unique in the fact that they have the experience, they have the cross-sectional group of people on the team that come from different areas of the world and different backgrounds, and that adds a lot to their approach.
