FOUNDER
Rick Trenk
Hello! I am Rick Trenk, the "highly regarded" Founder and Lead Coach at Uplift International. I am recognized as a visionary and leader in my field of work, with a wealth of professional and spiritual experiences that have only enhanced my coaching approach. With over 18 years of experience in health and embodiment practices, 16 years in mindset coaching, and 12 years in leadership, my objective is to empower men and women and foster positive relationships by helping them become the healthiest, most potent, and authentic versions of themselves.
My distinctive background equips me to make a significant impact in the lives of those I work with. My style of coaching takes my clients on a journey of self-discovery, unlocking their full potential and helping them become the best and healthiest versions of themselves. My holistic approach combines modern and ancestral techniques, addressing the mind, body, and spirit. Clients gain a deeper understanding of themselves, along with the tools and skills to navigate life's challenges with resilience and grace.
My approach is designed to empower people, have them connect with their inner strength, unlock their true purpose, and create a life of fulfillment and meaning. I am passionate about this work, offering one-on-one and group coaching, mentorship, facilitation, leadership training, and day/weekend events.
When not working, I enjoy spending time with family, engaging in spontaneous adventure, keeping fit, listening to live music, reading, playing instruments, taking cold plunges, and surfing.
Company
History
HISTORY: Uplift International was established in 2017 as a humanitarian clothing company with the mission of supporting missionary efforts in Malawi, Africa. Over time, our organization evolved, and we realized the need for a more profound and meaningful approach to the well-being of the communities we serve. As a result, we shifted our focus to advocating for men's mental health and personal transformation through the use of energy, mindset, and embodiment practices, and fostering a sense of community among our clients.
Since our re-launch, we have been honored to help hundreds of men overcome self-imposed roadblocks, heal childhood trauma, process workplace and military trauma, begin generational healing, restore broken relationships, establish sobriety, discover their true power, and most importantly, learn to love themselves.
Our approach is holistic, and we refer to our unique blend of practices and techniques as "medicine," as it is both quick-acting and long-lasting. We are proud of the work we do, and we remain committed to continually evolving and improving our approach to best serve the men in our community.
Join us on a journey of self-discovery, personal growth, and empowerment that will help you unlock your full potential and become the best and most authentic version of yourself.
