Both Radek and Charlie are certified Wim Hof Method Instructors and specialise in delivering WHM Workshops and Retreats near their hometowns in the Peak District, UK and in the Czech Republic. With a lifelong interest in health, wellness, nutrition and over 30 years teaching experience between the two, both Radek and Charlie have developed a passion for teaching more holistic ways of enhancing both the body and mind. In addition to Breathwork and Cold Exposure Sessions, they have developed and deliver a unique ‘Mindset Coaching Course’ to enable people to face their fears, push beyond their current ‘comfort zone’ and work towards bigger and better future goals - whether these be personal, health, relationship or career focused. “It often starts with a single breathwork session, and then, like the flick of a switch, the mind is open and ready to seek more, to do more, to experience more and, ultimately to accomplish more. We love to see the whole journey people make with their own wellbeing, which is why we enjoy guiding people for multiple day events. “Through practising the Wim Hof Method ourselves, we began to explore our world with a different perspective. We feel connected to nature more than ever, we seek adventure at every turn, we face our fears and take more risks and we have learned to think really ‘BIG’ in terms of our goals. More importantly, we have made it our mission to pass on our knowledge of the benefits of the Wim Hof Method and everything else in our teaching toolbox to as many people as we can reach, so that everyone has the chance to pause, to reflect and to reconnect with themselves in this fast-paced world”. Charlie, a qualified Modern Foreign Languages Teacher & Fitness Instructor, who worked in State Secondary Schools for 17 years, also has a background in performance sports - mainly cycling, running, skiing and swimming. Her personal interests now focus more on the physiology and the neurology of effective breathing, cold exposure and sleep for optimising overall health as well as for improved sporting performance. These days she likes to move more in-line with the mind by doing yoga, hot yoga, balance work and calisthenics.

Radek, as a trained Martial Artist and now Fitness Instructor and Nutritionist, learned from an early age about the importance of the relationship of breathwork and movement. BUT… as a lifelong sufferer from asthma and with multiple allergies, he felt he was held back in many areas of his life. Practising the Wim Hof Method for Radek finally enabled him, (after nearly 40 years) to learn to control this inflammatory disease, which, like many other western diseases, are on the increase despite our advanced medical techniques. Radek is particularly drawn to the benefits of cold exposure, to the powerful role of the mind and of expectation and how stress and even the way in which we think can affect our bodies both positively and negatively. “The Wim Hof Method for us, has really allowed us to connect on this journey together. Through working as a couple, we aim to inspire people to focus and build on their connections - not only with themselves as individuals, but also with their partner, their family members, their children, their closest friends and even their colleagues. “We are always still learning to face our fears and push ourselves above and beyond… but we’re having a great time doing it!”.
