What to expect
This isn't a cold plunge party. It's a structured, science-backed workshop that prepares your mind and body before you touch the ice.
Beyond the hype. Understand the physiology: how oxygen, CO2, and cold create beneficial stress on your nervous system. No mystical nonsense.
~60 minutes
Deep immersive breathwork sessions. Multiple rounds of guided Wim Hof breathing with real-time coaching on your technique.
~60 minutes
Mental preparation for the cold. Learn to recognise your stress response and train yourself to find calm within discomfort.
~45 minutes
Guided ice bath immersion. By this point, your body and mind are prepared — the cold won't feel like an attack. It'll feel like a reset.
~45 minutes + lunch & debrief
Your instructor
Certified Wim Hof Method Instructor
For over 20 years, I lived in the high-stakes world of high-growth tech companies — as CTO, COO, and CEO. I understood peak performance, but I also experienced the consequences: complete burnout and depression.
Discovering the Wim Hof Method was the first time I viscerally understood that I could consciously control my internal state, regulate my nervous system, and build resilience I'd never known. It put me on a completely new path — and now I teach others to do the same.
The facility
A professional health and wellness centre with a dedicated ice bath facility, heated studio space, and everything you need for a safe, comfortable experience.
15 minutes from Amersfoort, 10 minutes from Baarn. Free parking on site.
What people say
It was a very powerful session. I really enjoyed the breathing and the ice, and the theory provided food for thought. I liked the fact that Jan didn't present it as a hype or as a form of magic, but rather a well considered augmentation to your daily life.

I had been doing breathwork and ice baths for some time, but Jan was able to bring me to the next level with his coaching. He is able to bring the science down to an understandable level to help you understand how your body responds to the changes in O2, CO2 and the cold.

Amazing experience. Jan is a great instructor who makes you feel safe and guides you through the workshop in a professional way. Highly recommended.

Wat een waanzinnige ervaring! De ademsessies brachten me in een diepe ontspanning die ik nog nooit eerder heb ervaren. En dat ijsbad? Een enorme mentale overwinning! Ik voel me nu, dagen later, nog steeds energiek en gefocust.

Questions
Yes. I follow strict physiological protocols as a certified instructor. My job is to keep your nervous system in the growth zone, never the panic zone. You have full control at every moment — we never force anything. This is about mastery, not ego.
No. This is not a workout — it's a reset of your nervous system. My participants range from 18 to 80. If you can breathe, you can do this.
Absolutely. Cold exposure can be great for hormonal balance, but your body has different cycles. We listen to your body and adapt. No pressure, just flow.
Safety is my priority. If you are pregnant, have epilepsy, or have serious cardiovascular conditions, this workshop is not suitable for you at this time. For everyone else, we have protocols to keep it safe.
Just a towel, swimwear, and comfortable clothing. Everything else — mats, water, ice, and lunch — is provided.
A cold shower and an ice bath are completely different mirrors. The ice bath shows you how you react to deep stress. I'll teach you to switch off the panic response and find your calm centre. By the time we reach the water, your body and mind are so well prepared that the cold doesn't feel like an attack — it feels like a reset.
Maximum 12 participants. Small enough for personal coaching through the ice bath, large enough for group energy during the breathwork.
Full refund up to 7 days before the session. Within 7 days, you can transfer your spot to someone else. Booking and payments are handled through the official Wim Hof Method platform.
