Cool as ice

Equilibrium actively promotes health and wellness by creating opportunities for employees to learn and thrive, creating a happy and healthy workforce. As part of their commitment to employee wellbeing, they invited me to share my work and expertise of the Wim Hof Method (WHM) with the team.   

You may have seen Wim Hof on the BBC’s ‘Freeze the Fear’ or heard of his 21 Guinness World Records. For those unfamiliar, he is a Dutch athlete known for enduring extreme cold. Hof believes modern lifestyles have disconnected us from nature, dulling our survival instincts.  

Through decades of self-exploration and groundbreaking scientific studies, Wim developed a method combining breathing, cold therapy, and commitment to reawaken these abilities and unlock our potential. As a certified instructor of his method, I teach these principles to help people rediscover their inner strength. 

Regular practice of breath techniques and cold exposure can lead to benefits such as increased energy, improved sleep, reduced stress levels, enhanced focus, increased willpower, and a stronger immune system.  

Based on my own personal experience and the challenges I have faced; I can confidently say that I have become stronger as a result of the WHM. My teachings go beyond the mechanics of breathwork and cold exposure, delving into how these practices can be harnessed for profound personal and professional growth.  

Within the session with Equilibrium, I demonstrated the power of these tools to support self-leadership as well as taking control of our own lives, careers, and potential. No more excuses, no more limits, just pure, actionable steps to transform our mindset and unleash the power within.  

We began with a breathwork exercise, and those who wanted to push their comfort zones even further had the opportunity to experience an ice bath. This is where they truly understood how mindset and nervous system regulation are key.  

It was inspiring to see team members push their limits in the ice baths. Resilience is built not by pushing harder, but by controlling our minds, reducing stress, and stepping outside our comfort zones. When feeling becomes believing and you see the message is truly understood, it’s simple yet powerful. After all, the only limits we have are the ones we set ourselves.  

It was highly rewarding to provide the team with practical tools to enhance their potential both within the workplace and in their personal lives. Whether leading a team or focusing on individual transformation, this approach offers a roadmap to thriving in both personal growth and corporate excellence.
