My Mission
I came across the Wim Hof Method after being diagnosed with stage four advanced, incurable cancer. I used breath work and cold exposure to help with the side effects of chemotherapy and it really helped my body cope.
I continued the method throughout my treatment (two years and 35 rounds of chemo) and completely transformed my body and mind in the process.
In 2021 I received the news I had been dreaming of. My cancer had gone and I have now been cancer free for almost 3 years. See my interview with Wim for my full story.
I am living proof that the Wim Hof method can really help with whatever challenge life can throw your way, however bleak things may look. As a certified level one WH instructor, I can guide you towards a new way of thinking, believing and breathing so you can start living your best life.
Come and join me for a session at The Warrior’s Breath retreat in Hailsham, East Sussex.
About Me.
My life completely changed in 2019. I thought I was pretty healthy, having run a few marathons. I knew my diet wasn't perfect but I wasn't overweight or anything. I started having pains just before the summer, which the doctors eventually diagnosed as Stage 4 advanced incurable cancer, with secondary tumours on my liver.
I know that pretty much everyone reading this will have been affected by cancer, whether it is their own diagnosis or a loved one. When it happened to me, at only 44, I felt like I was the only person my age with cancer. We didn't know anyone else with a diagnosis and felt lost and alone. We are lucky to have amazing friends and family who really helped us.
I will never forget being in the oncologists office, surrounded by nurses. I don't think I really have the words to explain how that diagnosis felt, but with my wife beside me, and son to shortly pick up from school, I knew I had to fight it. It took a while for everything to sink in, we were swept away with hospital appointments and chemo started really quickly.
Over the next 2 years, through lockdown and shielding, I had 35 rounds of chemo and ran over 2000 miles. I changed my whole lifestyle - went vegan, started juicing, meditation, Tai Chi, acupuncture, herbal remedies to name a few. If I came across anything natural that claimed it helped to beat cancer, I tried it. It was around this time my brother-in-law gave me Wim's book to read, and I began the breath work. Cold exposure quickly followed and, for me, these were total game changers. The side effects of chemo are horrible, but the Wim Hof Method really made a difference.
The tumours shrank enough for surgery to be an option, which was successful and I am now cancer free! I'd had visions of walking into the oncologists office, to hear the words "I am pleased to say you are now cancer free," but when I heard it from her, it almost didn't seem real.
Since then, my life has completely changed. I've been helping people all over the world who have found out about me following their own cancer diagnosis, or a friend/family members. I hope to help many more. Please get in touch if you would like to book a workshop or need any help on a cancer journey.
