This Isn't Corporate Wellness. This Is Real.

I grew up in my dad's convenience store and amusement arcade in Scotland. By the time I was a teenager, I could read people — what they wanted, what they were avoiding, what they actually needed. I didn't know it then, but that skill would define my career.

Fast forward to 2020. I took a four-day Strategic Intervention life coaching course — built on the work of Tony Robbins and Cloe Madanes. It gave me a framework for something I'd been doing naturally my whole life: helping people see what's really going on and figure out what to do about it.

Then came the Wim Hof Method.

I practiced on my own for three years. Breathing, cold showers, cold plunges — the whole thing. I thought I had it dialled. Then I attended my first proper workshop.

I'd been doing it wrong. The entire time.

That workshop changed everything. The proper technique unlocked levels I didn't know existed. The breathing was more precise, more powerful. The cold exposure was deeper, more controlled. I walked out thinking: everyone needs to learn this the right way.

In September 2023, I became a certified Wim Hof Method instructor. I moved from Scotland to British Columbia's Slocan Valley — right across the lake from Valhalla Provincial Park.

That's where the name comes from. Valhalla isn't just a park I can see from where I teach. It's a philosophy. The Norse warriors didn't earn Valhalla by choosing the easy path. They earned it by showing up, doing the hard thing, and refusing to quit.

That's what this work is about. For everyone.
