Named after the Greek god of winter and the north wind, Boreas Healing combines optimised breathing and awareness strategies with cold therapy to promote wellbeing and facilitate positive change. The sessions are hosted by Daniel Beckitt, a certified Wim Hof instructor, who is clearly passionate about his practice and helping others to become happier and healthier. The method stimulates certain physiological processes necessary for adapting to extremities, which reawakens the body’s inner power. Boreas Healing aims to harness this inner power to facilitate a transformation into ‘the most powerful you’.
I felt slightly nervous upon my arrival to my first ever Boreas Healing session. However, any worries dissipated as I was greeted by the friendly, reassuring demeanour of Daniel and his partner, Heather Saint. Throughout the Transformation Day experience, I was provided with detailed information about the science behind the method. My questions were genuinely welcomed with follow-up discussion encouraged.
