HEALTH COACHING

Matt Demers is our Holistic Health Coach and is a co-owner at Rising Eagle Wellness. He is professionally recognized and certified by the International Sports Sciences Association (I.S.S.A.)  as a Certified Personal Trainer, Health Coach and Nutritionist. A graduate of the prestigious Pacific College of Health and Science in San Diego, CA, he also majored in kinesiology at Fresno State University.

Matt is a natural and lifelong athlete: All-Star baseball player, All District middle linebacker, and State Champion wrestler culminating in 5th in the National High School Senior Tournament and earning a full scholarship to wrestle for Fresno State University. 

For over ten years after college, Matt owned and operated On The Level Tile and coached elementary, junior high and high school wrestling evenings and weekends on the Central Valley wrestling circuit; however, during this time, he developed some bad health habits while trying to maintain the persona of a champion athlete and respected coach. The pressures to project success while internally struggling with a low self-esteem and lack of motivation was the lowest point in his life. After taking stock of where his life was headed, he knew he had to make drastic changes in his environment, friends, habits, and outlook on life. So, at the age of 30, that is exactly what he did. Matt moved to San Diego and it was there he found the environment, community, and possibilities he was seeking. He changed his focus from team sports to individual coaching and was part of an elite climbing community that focused on pushing the limits of the human body and mind. This required mental and emotional control through conscious breathing, calculated risk, and a confidence that is only built through many small successes adding up to a realistic understanding of one’s true capabilities. 

This experience motivated him to learn what nutrition, exercise, and mental strengthening techniques were best going to fuel, grow, and provide the motivation and energy needed to climb all day. With this new knowledge, Matt was able to recover quickly from the exertion of climbing and promote the clarity of mind to share and enrich other people’s lives who wish to accomplish their greatest goals and dreams. In 2012 he became a Certified Personal Training through the National Academy of Sports Medicine and helped top athletes meet and exceed their personal goals.

Matt’s 27 years of coaching experience, education and proven track record of client success has evolved into a career that now focuses on longevity and quality of life through rehabilitative exercise, structural alignment, nutrition guidance, behavior modification tools, and aligning his client’s actions with their lifelong goals.
