The Healing House
Hi! I'm Patty. After a “dark night of the soul" experience (a sort of existential crisis), I was inspired by books and podcasts to help other humans. Podcasts had really helped me make sense of what I was going through at the time, so I thought I'd attempt to do the same for others. In this podcast, I explore conversations that blur lines between mind, body, and spirituality to start the healing process. We’ll discuss all human things like psychology, meaning, trauma, meditation, self-care, relationships, health, and simply just existence. I hope to help you find meaning here on this whacky mysterious planet we all are on! Instagram: @mzxpatrisha

The Wim Hof Method was designed by Wim Hof, who broke world records for withstanding cold temperatures via a meditative breathing method. This breathing method is now used all over the world to increase immunity, control heart rate, and help reduce anxiety/depression.
Brandon Powell is a level 3 certified Wim Hof Method Instructor and has trained with Wim Hof personally. He’s also a professional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, fitness & self-defense coach, and the owner of "On PHYR" in North Carolina. He was my instructor for the Wim Hof fundamentals course in Connecticut and I am overwhelmed with gratitude for his wisdom on this internationally known method.
In this episode, we discuss what the Wim Hof Method is, how it works, what physiologically happens in the body, routine, and the importance of connection.
Brandon, Thank You.

Warning - please read carefully:
The breathing exercise has a profound effect and should be practiced in the way it is explained. Always do the breathing exercise in a safe environment (e.g. sitting on a couch/floor) and unforced.
Never practice the exercises before or during diving, driving, swimming, taking a bath or in any other environment/place where should you pass out, a serious injury could occur. Wim Hof breathing may cause tingling sensations and/or lightheadedness. If you’ve fainted, it means that you went to far. Take a step back next time.
The cold is a powerful force. We strongly advise to gradually build up exposing yourself to the cold. Always train without force and listen to your body carefully. If it is not practiced responsible, there is a risk of hypothermia.
Do not practice the method during pregnancy or when having epilepsy. Persons with cardiovascular health issues, or any other (serious) health conditions, should always consult a medical doctor before starting with the Wim Hof Method.
