Wim Hof Method Enthusiast!
My journey toward embracing discomfort and maximizing human potential began on the track, where I earned recognition as a National Record-holding Athlete in Track & Field. As someone who understands the demands of athletic training, I intentionally sought high-altitude training in Flagstaff, AZ as a Division 1 Collegiate Athlete, to enhance my breath control and stamina. These experiences taught me the importance of proper breathing, not only for athletes but for anyone facing physical or emotional stress.
Transitioning from athlete training to coaching, I worked as a Health & Wellness Coach to individuals of all fitness levels, athletes in training and hundreds of addicts in recovery, realizing the profound impact of breathwork and holistic recovery practices in everyone I worked with.
The significance of physical and mental recovery became evident not only for athletes but also for those under various physical and mental stresses. Over the years I realized the importance of mindful, functional movement exercises, emphasizing the need for proper recovery methods to prevent overtraining and inflammation. This paired with an anti-inflammatory diet, mindful meditation practices, assisted stretching, and connection to others has been key to helping my clients achieve overall well-being!
This exploration led me to the Wim Hof Method, a transformative combination of breathwork and cold-water therapy. Incorporating this method into my life proved both healing and invigorating, influencing my mood, fitness, energy, and sleep, and immensely improving my overall health. I am committed to sharing what I have learned and am passionate about helping to guide others on their wellness journeys.
