My Story
​
Embarking on a Journey
​
My journey began with just six letters written on the back of an envelope. I'm John Whitaker, an artist, and a level two Wim Hof Method instructor, deeply intertwined with the conscious community. When I moved to San Francisco Bay Area, I witnessed a speaker succumb to stage fright, literally unable to find their voice. They were advised to regain control over breath and confidence and search term to begin the journey was the name Wim Hof.

Unveiling Personal Growth
​
Intrigued, I did my own research. The answer it seems, is right under your nose. Conscious breathing—a practice that would later unlock a wellspring of energy and health and wellness benefits. This conscious breathwork revealed a newfound inner strength within me, revitalizing my understanding of the mind-body connection and enhancing my physical endurance.

The Unthinkable: Cold Exposure Training
​
As I delved deeper into breathwork, it paved the way for an unthinkable adventure: cold exposure training. This transformative experience marked the beginning of an incredible inner journey. I embraced regular ice baths as a part of my daily life and even wove an ice bath into one of my art performances, blending the worlds of art and wellness expressing the possibility for transformation.
​
Becoming an Instructor
​
My passion for the Wim Hof Method grew exponentially. After attending an advanced training in Beverly Hills and meeting the man himself, Wim Hof, I felt an undeniable calling to become an instructor. Today, I proudly hold the title of a level 2 instructor. This year, I'm honored to join Wim on the annual "Polish Expedition" up Mt. Sneska.
