Our Method

The MATIO Method is the difference.

The MATIO Method is the difference between a child simply complying with treatment—and a child feeling ownership, choice, and power in their healing process.

It restores confidence, builds resilience, and strengthens outcomes—one child at a time.

We were by ourselves. It was nice to get connected with the MATIO community and find out about the support that is available and that we’re not alone.

We’ve entered a powerful new chapter.

Our organization has a new name:
MATIO – Martial Arts Therapy. Inside & Out.

While our name has changed, our mission is stronger than ever. We remain committed to empowering children and families through evidence-based, non-pharmacological care rooted in the principles of martial arts.

Thank you for being part of our evolving journey!
