"Max was open, honest and relatable in sharing his story. He delivered the workshop with a quiet confidence and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. So much thought was put into the workshop environment and making everyone feel comfortable. When it came to plunging in the ice baths it was clear that some attendees were going to battle. Max had a subtle but effective way of making everyone feel cared for and supported. It was great to see people achieve something they had a true fear about. Everything combined to make a great workshop experience that has stayed with me since - I feel grateful I took the plunge.”

“Thank you for your workshop on Sunday. To be honest I didn't know what to expect but I was blown away by my experience. I am a solid realist and as a result have never been overly spiritual. The breathing component of your workshop really elevated me somewhere I'd not been before . It truly was unlike anything I've experienced. I felt such a solid focus and connection to my body - this was next level. Having your guidance throughout was so reassuring. I found the experience really powerful and look forward to applying this to life in general and any challenges I meet. Thanks again Max, my life is forever changed”

“Robbie and I both loved the workshop. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and knowledge with us. The way you spoke and delivered everything in such and an open and gracious manner was really lovely. It felt like a very safe, informative and inspiring space I thinks it's probably the best thing that has happened to me personally since cocky was egg".

"As I sit at the terminal about to board a ferry to the Great Barrier Reef (with my sons), I felt inspired to message you. A week on and I'm doing really well. Within myself there has been a huge shift. Not once during this trip have I felt overwhelmed, out of control or stressed. Life seems to flow easier. I messaged my sister who has supported my emotional dysfunction for many years and she said 'I can tell as there's been no stressed messages from you. Be proud. Good on you ♥️♥️' Max thank you. You have changed my life. I know it's still early days, but I can see a huge difference, as can others💜"

"Gday Max, Just wanted to drop you a quick note after doing WHM for 4 or 5 months now. Every winter up until now I would normally get a cold/flu at least a couple of times, and blow my nose through most of the cold months, but have barely blown my nose this entire time and have felt great the entire time. I did a fitness event at the end of June and the deep breathing learned through the WHM was a massive help in completing the endurance event. I have given up Instagram as well (I’ll check it like once a week) which prior to WHM I felt like I was checking every 10 minutes. Combining this with the benefits of doing WHM my mental health has thrived over these last few months and now I consider it my super power. It even helps greatly dealing with the effects of a hangover. Thanks again and keep up the great work".

The Wim Hof experience was by far my highlight for the weekend. It had a profound impact on me.

Over the last 16 years I hadn't had a 12 month period without suffering a nervous breakdown. The continual breakdowns ate away at me, leaving me a shell of my former self.

I have always actively tried to help myself, trying numerous therapist's, therapies and medications. I have made breakthroughs in the past, returning to work and a functional, healthy state. However, I was only ever able to maintain this for a short period.

I have been regularly practising the Wim Hof Method ever since (for over 5 months now). My life has changed dramatically.

I have a new found calm, confidence. I'm off anti depressants.

I've reconnected with wonderful friends, who I've learnt, never stopped caring about me.

Life is joyful again!

Max, you enabled me to initiate a fundamental change, which is flourishing into something beautiful. I can now genuinely say I have worth. Deep down, at my core I didn't feel I had any value. Everyone else's needs were always far more important than my own.

I have learnt to love myself, and be more assertive with boundaries, in order to self protect. I still love helping people, but I'm more conscious of self care. In the past I would destroy myself, desperately attempting to please others.
