About Reed
My name is Reed Walter, and I founded Rise Mental Fitness Studio.
Through six years of leading awareness events and being unsatisfied with the resources I found, I learned many platforms were unable to scale to meet today's needs. I watched people leave mental health facilities due to absurd wait times when most of the time, they simply wanted to talk with someone.
Following a successful round of therapy and being effectively discharged, I realized how hard it is to actively improve and maintain your mental health outside the realm of treatment. I also wasn't able to find many offerings outside of meditation and journaling.
Imagine if you didn't go to the dentist until you had a cavity. Well, that's what it was like for me when I first went to therapy. I had gone years without addressing some underlying issues that were in the way of my life.
I began having a fundamental shift in the way that I understood our mental health system. What if I had been training proactively and learned to pick out those things along the way? How can we reshape the culture around mental health and help people understand mental fitness, similarly to how one views their physical fitness?
I wanted to create an environment where we can all talk about what we're experiencing and have accountability to keep ourselves healthy.
I'm excited to meet you and facilitate meaningful conversations!
Thanks for being here.
