SENIOR COACH K

Kaye Remi Hope is the founder of Restore Human and the force behind a growing movement to reimagine physical education, health, and human potential. He brings thousands of hours of hands-on coaching experience, combined with the mindset of someone who has led in high-stakes environments and remained curious through it all.

Kaye didn’t begin with physical confidence. He came from a background in computers and design, spending much of his youth sedentary and disconnected from his body. That personal discomfort eventually became a catalyst. Knowing he wanted a different life, he joined the Australian Army, where he served for seven years across three deployments. Over that time, he led a sniper team in Afghanistan, served as second-in-command of an infantry section in Timor-Leste, and worked as a lead scout and combat first aider in Iraq.

These roles demanded discipline, long-term thinking, and calm under pressure—qualities that now underpin his approach to coaching and leadership. After leaving the military, Kaye didn’t just retrain. He redefined himself. He began an intensive, self-directed learning journey, studying under some of the world’s most respected coaches and movement experts. Rather than follow trends or institutions, he chose to learn from those who had proven their methods through real-world results.

In 2016, he founded Restore Human with a clear purpose: to help people regain agency through their bodies and reconnect with nature. What began as one coach working with a few clients has evolved into a scalable coaching model built on physical literacy, trust, and long-term health outcomes. Restore Human now includes a team of professional coaches, a formalized training methodology, and an internal education platform called Restore Human University.

Kaye is a builder and a connector. He is deeply focused on culture and long-term impact, both within his team and for the clients they serve. His approach combines system thinking with intuition, high standards with playfulness, and evidence-based practice with care for the human in front of him.

At his core, Kaye is a Wilderness Connector, someone who helps people return to their natural state of vitality by building physical capacity, emotional resilience, and a deep bond with the living world. He believes that physical literacy is not just about movement or fitness, but about reclaiming agency, improving mental health, and making better decisions for ourselves, our communities, and the planet. Through Restore Human, Kaye is creating a path for others to reconnect with nature, rediscover their strength, and move through the world with clarity, confidence, and care.
