Work With Me

My name is Matt Cavender. I am the founder and developer of The Cavender Method. Over the course of my life, I have had the opportunity to teach and work with kids, young adults, aging adults, and what I like to call seasoned adults. My primary focus over the last fifteen years has been working with seasoned adults. I was first asked some years ago to work with the elderly in a retired living community. After a short time, I came to realize that this is exactly what I should be doing! So I developed The Cavender Method for health and better well-being. The three areas I developed programs for are retired living, assisted living, and memory care.
Success Stories
WHAT ACTIVITY DIRECTORS ARE SAYING
Residents who attend classes are happy with the personal attention and encouragement Matt gives individually. His adage, "doing the best you can is better than doing nothing at all," has positive results.

It has been my pleasure to meet and get to know Mr. Matt Cavender. His teachings of the principles of Chi Gong have been well received by the residents here at the Terraces, and his classes are well attended. Matt exhibits a calm, gentle presence and his instruction includes a spiritual element which, I believe, is much sought after by many members of the elderly community.
I send this letter with my highest recommendation for his talents and teaching ability.

I have had the pleasure to work with Matt Cavender since January 2016 at Prestige Assisted Living in Chico, California. Matt's Healthy Moves exercise class offers many health benefits such as; breathing techniques, balance, strength, and mobility.
Since Matt joined our exercise program, the residents have expressed their gratitude and the benefits the class has brought to their health. All of his classes are highly attended, and the residents enjoy his commitment and expertise. The class starts off with breathing and then slowly moves toward balance and mobility. Matt expresses his confidence in the residents' ability to overcome any challenges they may face every day. He has the ability to connect to the residents as well as share his knowledge with them in a clear and understanding approach.
As a Life Enrichment Director, I cannot express enough gratitude for what Matt does for our residents here at Prestige. He has shown commitment, respect and strives to make his class a success every time he walks through the door. It is a relief to see someone so dedicated and passionate about what he does.
Overall, Matt's exercise class showcases his calm personality, patience, knowledge, and passion for his practice.
I believe Matt has many talents and great teaching abilities. I would highly recommend his class and believe he brings many benefits to the community as well as the elderly population.
