At Project Valkyrie, we are dedicated to supporting veterans on their journey to wholeness and resilience. Our comprehensive program integrates physical wellbeing, mental optimization, neuroscience, and nature immersion, guided by elite special operations veterans and the top experts in the science of mind and body connection.
Through science and training in meditation, movement, mobility, breathwork, and community bonding, we provide veterans with the tools they need to rebuild their strength and well-being in a tranquil and supportive environment.
Objectives
Physical Optimization
Give veterans the pathway to recovery through their own physical bodies, creative power, and individual drive.
Natural Recovery
Give veterans Neural Pathway Therapy to recovery through their own physical bodies, creative power, and individual drive.
Mental Resiliance
Integrate the power of mind, heart, and body to give veterans the mental freedom to overcome anxiety, depression, and addiction.
Partnership With Neural Science Institute
Since the recent war, thousands of Israeli reservists and combatants have returned with deep invisible wounds, PTSD, anxiety, sleep issues, and more. Israel's Defense Ministry reports over 22,000 new rehab cases since Oct 7, with 58%+ mental health-related, and expects 10,000 more by 2026.
We're raising funds to provide life-changing treatment to as many of these warriors as possible. Your donation funds this project.
Our team has personally experienced this innovative, non-invasive neuromodulation approach—and we've seen meaningful, lasting results. Unlike many other methods we've tested, it's scalable, safe, FDA-compliant (non-medical device category), and often reimbursable through insurance.
Neural Pathway Therapy helps rebalance the brain, reduce symptoms, and improve overall well-being. It's been studied and used successfully for over 15 years in top medical centers worldwide, includin
-
Harvard Medical School / Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (Boston, MA)
-
University College London (UCL) (London, UK)
-
Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore, MD)
-
Massachusetts General Hospital (Boston, MA)
-
Mayo Clinic (Rochester, MN)

-
Cleveland Clinic (Cleveland, OH)
-
Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin (Berlin, Germany)
-
KU Leuven (Leuven, Belgium)
-

Meet the Team
Project Valkyrie was born out of both personal experience and a shared calling to serve those who have served.
Co-Founders Pearce Cucchissi and Connor Wasson have been close friends since childhood. Following Pearce’s service as an Army Ranger, he returned home focused on his own healing, reintegration, and search for renewed purpose in civilian life. During this same period, Connor was immersed in his PhD training in clinical psychology. The two found themselves in constant conversation — often spending hours on the phone discussing the therapies, modalities, and healing frameworks they were each being exposed to through their respective paths.
As their discussions deepened, so did their awareness of the gaps in veteran care. They began to recognize systemic shortcomings in how veterans were being supported through transition, recovery, and long-term reintegration. Connor’s prior experience working within a government-funded program serving at-risk youth had already instilled in him a belief in the importance of direct, community-driven action rather than waiting for institutions to solve complex human problems.
What began as conversations between friends — exchanging ideas, research, and lived experiences — evolved into a shared mission. Project Valkyrie was founded as a proactive response: an organization built to create innovative, psychologically grounded, and community-centered healing experiences designed specifically to meet veterans where they are and help guide them toward resilience, connection, and renewed purpose.

Founders Message
In Norse mythology, a Valkyrie is a figure who guides fallen warriors from the battlefield to Valhalla, a warrior's paradise. This ancient myth is not only captivating for its vivid imagery, but it also reflects timeless themes of courage, sacrifice, and transformation that have shaped human stories for centuries.
Before returning to civilian life, ancient and native warrior cultures have always emphasized the importance of immersing their soldiers in practices and environments that heal, restore, and optimize their bodies and psyche after battle. A defined period of integration.
At Project Valkyrie, we draw upon the wisdom of these traditions, along with the best of contemporary science to guide the path to recovery, resilience, and empowerment.
We know that our tribe has much more to give to the world, and our goal is to get them setup to maximize their health and potential.
Join us as we walk in the footsteps of legends, and forge a future where ancient wisdom meets modern possibility.
We thank you for your kind and generous support as we strive to help veterans heal and transform.
With Gratitude,
Company
