Having grown up with Ankylosing Spondylitis (a hereditary auto immune condition), I understood how chronic pain can greatly affect one's wellbeing. I've seen the progressive condition worsen in my father over the decades as his doctors never advocated for any treatments aside from medication. I inherently knew there had to be other ways of treating the condition and spent my entire life post diagnosis finding solutions.
As I looked for the missing piece, I began realizing there was no single thing that made a significant and sustainable change. It was an accumulation of many lifestyle factors - stress, sleep, exercise, mobility, social environment, mental patterns, etc. However, one modality that stood out above the rest was the Wim Hof Method.
I am now highly interested in sharing the Wim Hof Method with those who are also seeking tools for their own needs. I've seen the dramatic benefits its had on myself and the many I've met along this journey. Please feel free to reach out if you're interested in stepping deeper into yours!
