A truly memorable experience. Jack provided the right amount of information to understand the many benefits of The Wim Hoff method. The breathing exercises provided a very powerful experience made better by being in a group setting. I felt very safe and in professional hands. Jack was very sensitive to group members needs and was exceptionally skilled at supporting participants during the ice bath experience. I would highly recommend Jack and thank him for his first class instruction.

JACK WITTS
WIM HOF METHOD INSTRUCTOR / BREATHWORK BIOHACKER
For over a decade, my focus has centred on researching the optimisation of mental and physical health. As an accredited Wim Hof Method instructor and Breathwork Biohacker, I seamlessly blend these teachings with various practices, custom-tailored for individuals or groups. My ultimate goal is to implement practical methods that harness the body and mind, fostering the transformation of both physiology and psychology, ultimately leading to a happier life.
In my early 20s, navigating a tumultuous upbringing and battling PTSD and depression, I was on a trajectory to nowhere good. However, discovering fundamental techniques triggered a paradigm shift, revealing that I held the reins to my destiny. Faced with a choice between a destructive path or the longer, winding road of constructing a life aligned with my aspirations, I chose the latter.
Emerging from rock bottom, I embarked on an incredible journey, mastering the art of turning challenges into wellsprings of strength and new opportunities.
With a personable, step-by-step approach, I empower individuals to transform their focus, mindset, and habits, facilitating a truly fulfilling life.
