Cold Water Immersion is a great way to activate the body’s natural healing powers, and to make it able to relieve symptoms of various medical conditions.

Testimonials

“I had a breath-work session with Anita and she explained thoroughly beforehand how she uses her breathing work. I have asthma and Anita kindly talked me through how to use my breathing and adding a magical space between the out and in breath. She taught me how to control my breathing and for different forms of breathing. After the session I felt totally relaxed and full of energy. It was an amazing experience I highly recommend to everyone. Also she is an amazing inspiration herself with her healthy living passion, fitness and personal training knowledge. I have learned a lot from her. I will definitely be back for more. Thank you Anita”.

Happy Clients Say ...

I initially contacted Nigel for intrinsic biomechanics to help fix a chronic achilles problem (which he managed to cure!) but it was through our work together I found out about his Primal health and Soma breathwork programmes. He has helped me change my diet to manage my SIBO/leaky gut symptoms caused by endometriosis which I had struggled with for years; the change has been transformative. I have worked with both Anita and Nigel and am now a regular attendee of their Soma breathwork meditations. In the past I have struggled with meditation as I can be an over-thinker so when someone says stop thinking or let the thoughts pass, my brain goes into overdrive. Focussing on the breath really makes sense and works for me and this has become an important part of my self-care routine, particularly during the last 12 months of the pandemic. Nigel and Anita are extremely professional and at the same time very supportive and encouraging. They work by attuning to the individual’s pace and understand the importance of allowing people to come to change in their own time.

I have worked with Nigel for about 4 years now and what I have achieved in that time is way beyond what I had dreamed of. Nigel created a training and eating plan which I followed religiously on the run up to the London marathon. My diet went to almost carb free, allowing me to burn fat for longer periods of time and not bonk mid event. I ran the Marathon in my expected time and injury free. 3 months later I had booked an Ultra Marathon! I cannot thank Nigel enough for the time and patience he has given me.

Kirsten Sadler

I already was working with Nigel as a PT so had spoken to him about the fat adapted lifestyle. I was a bit daunted at the thought of the initial 21 day challenge as it seems like all my favourite things are complex carbs! Nigel framed it as a challenge which fired up my competitive side and it was so much easier than I thought it would be. I kept a food diary and at first had lots of questions about what I could and couldn’t have but Nigel was happy to answer my many texts and keep me right.
