In March 2022, Matt Krug was diagnosed with stage 3c colon cancer. After having colon resection surgery, Matt researched the effectiveness of the recommended adjuvant chemotherapy and determined it was not a viable option. Instead, he chose a holistic approach to healing. Unfortunately, A CT scan revealed a recurrence of cancer a year later in April 2023. Despite the dismal news, Matt examined his holistic protocol and realized he had not fully understood his cancer, as well as missing the key spiritual and emotional sides of healing. In light of this new awareness, Matt has taken new measures to address the mind, body, and spirit in his healing journey. Since his cancer recurrence, Matt has become a new group leader at HealingStrong in Greenville, South Carolina and looks forward to helping others in their healing journeys.

Holle is a HealingStrong friend and currently a therapeutic instructor. Holle was integral in helping shape the structure of HealingStrong, which in part, helps in guiding group leaders with policies, procedures and processes. She came into therapeutic movement through the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® in 2005 with an injury. Beginning a GYROTONIC® apprenticeship at Body-n-Balance in Alpharetta, Georgia, she began to teach while rehabilitating her shoulder.⁣

She is certified as a Gyrokinesis instructor and a Pre-Trainer authorized to teach students beginning on their own path to instructorship.   ⁣

Holle attended her first therapeutic course with Paul Horvath and Uwe Herbstreit in 2007, and the direction of her work refined towards holistic, comprehensive resolution of bio-mechanical pain patterns.  In working with people struggling through chronic pain, she recognized a frequent connection to situations of stress and backgrounds of trauma. Combining the beauty of art and nature, the kinship of supportive people, and the empowerment of movement, she started facilitating retreats for women to restore hope and foster healing.⁣

To more fully help people bridge the divide between movement potential and current restrictions, Holle gained her licensed massage therapist designation in 2020, and shortly after began personal mentorship under 5 time Olympic team massage therapist Benny Vaughn.

Gayle is a new HealingStrong Group Leader for Kentucky and a breast cancer thriver! In July of 2019, she was blindsided with an invasive ductal carcinoma diagnosis. She had known for years that if she was to ever be diagnosed with cancer, she would not do the conventional chemotherapy, radiation, surgery. She had heard about alternative treatments when her mom was going through a cancer journey in 2015, so after her own diagnosis, she decided to spend time in prayer and get direction from the Lord, so the first week after my diagnosis that is what she did. No research, just time in God’s Word and in prayer while spending time with her family on vacation. She rewatched a cancer series, where she heard about Chris Wark, and from Chris Wark, heard about HealingStrong. She got on the HealingStrong website and searched for a group and knew this was an organization that she would be connected with for years. What Gayle loves about HealingStrong is the community and the individual relationships. It’s a place where you know you can trust being heard and understood without criticism. Gayle says, “We all have a different journey to walk through, and the goal is to get all the information we can and seek God for the direction we need for our individual healing.”
