STRONG, HAPPY AND HEALTHY through THE WIM HOF METHOD
Use the Wim Hof Method to influence your immune system and your mental strength quickly and positively. It is simple and effective. The method consists of three elements: Breathing technique, cold exposure and focus exercises. Cold strengthens the cardiovascular system, reduces inflammation and depressive state. Exposure to cold simulates stressful situations as you encounter them in your everyday life. You experience your reactions consciously and learn to control them. You can call up this experience in decisive situations and behave more calmly and purposefully in all situations in life.

WIM HOF IN The BUSINESS CONTEXT: HEALTH AND TEAMBUILDING
Becoming cooler in stressful (business) situations: a Wim Hof workshop lets you experience the potential of resilience, mindfulness and team spirit on your own body. And a large-scale study shows that cold water is not only good for ourselves, but can make our superiors happy:
In the preliminary discussion we define the framework and the balance between practical exercises and scientific background information. Would you like to round off your team event with a suitable professional lecture? Then I recommend the Incentive Speach on courage and change by Lorenz Wenger. Interested? contact me here.

Wim Hof Private Coaching
Perhaps the dates of the group courses are not ideal for you or you would like an individual introduction to the Wim Hof method? Then a one-to-one training is a good alternative. A one-to-one training is also a good option if you are already using the Wim Hof Method and would like to deepen your knowledge.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM A Wim Hof Course?
In a workshop you get to know the simple and effective Wim Hof method and experience how breathing and cold positively influence your body. You will gain a theoretical insight into the processes that take place in our body when applying the method. You will have the opportunity to take a bathe in cold water and feel how your mental focus and breathing change your sensations. All in all a strong lasting experience, which you can recall in everyday life and which helps you to behave more focused and purposefully in stressful situations (see also testimonials below).
The five week course enables you to learn the Wim Hof method step by step and integrate it into your everyday life. In five weeks you build up the necessary physical and mental abilities and you can quickly benefit from the positive effect. We meet once a week for breathing, cold exposure and meditation. During the course you will repeat some exercises on four more days at home.
All my Wim Hof Courses cover aspects of functional breathing as taught by the Oxygen Advantage method.
Is the Wim Hof method suitable for me?
The Wim Hof Method is suitable for you if you have a healthy physical constitution and enjoy a fresh challenge - regardless of your age. You will discover new possibilities to support and challenge yourself physically and mentally. Together we will find the right challenge for you. The Wim Hof method might also be used in case of illness. There are many success stories of people who have been able to alleviate their symptoms or recover thanks to the Wim Hof Method - especially in autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and MS or in Lyme disease, depression and burnout syndrome. If you are ill and would like to try the Wim Hof method, consult a doctor before starting.
