Instructor Level
Mike is a lifelong athlete dedicated to sport, growth, healing and improvement. His curiosity for improvement in pursuit of these passions led him to the Wim Hof Method. Unbeknownst to him at the time this same method would save his life. Dramatic? Yes!! And 100% true as well. While Mike loves be outdoors on a bike or a board, he also is a husband and father to three children one of whom has special needs. His home environment while beautiful and full of love, is also extremely chaotic and stressful. It is not uncommon for long term exposure to stress to manifest into to physical symptoms. His symptoms which included blurred vision and a numbness to the left side of his body left him unable to train or participate in any of his favorite activities. The symptoms also compromised his ability to be present for his family and to perform all the functions necessary to manage the household. In 2015 Mike was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Faced with a choice between daily steroid injections or trying to heal himself through diet and lifestyle changes Mike chose the latter. Fortunately, Mike had also already begun practicing the Wim Hof Method to improve his ability to surf in the frigid waters of New England in the winter. Little did he realize that his daily dedication to the WHM combined with those other lifestyle changes, would completely alleviate his symptoms of MS. Inspired by these remarkable results he decided he must work to earn the certification so that he could share this powerful tool with others. Now that Mike has become a certified instructor, he can fulfill this promise to share his experience and to try to help people to find their own inner strength. The daily stresses of modern-day living are real and can be quite harmful to the mind and body if not properly addressed. The Wim Hof Method is a tool which can make us happier, healthier and stronger both physically and mentally. Come to one of Mike’s workshops to learn more about what the Wim Hof Method has to offer.
