Interview with Adrian Hill
I began my life as a dedicated sportsman and partygoer before embarking on an alternative lifestyle full of travel and adventure
Instigated by personal tragedy, and a desire for 'something more', I left everything behind, hitch hiking and volunteering for many years with a hammock to sleep in and no electronic communication
I travelled mindfully, in the search of health and happiness, learning about the world and myself from interesting people, cultures, the natural environment and holistic health practices
The most profound being the Wim Hof Method. A powerful technique designed to awaken and optimise the human spirit.
A consistent daily practice grew to a desire and determination to share with others.
I now coach others using intuitve insights from various personal life experiences, combined with scientifically proven mind body techniques, designed to implement change, maintain change, and ultimately take control of your life.
How did you decide to become a Breath Service Provider?
Breath training has had a powerful impact on my personal mental and physical health. I have studied various breathwork techniques and like to combine breath training in my overall teaching of holistic health. Breath practices are a terrific place to start for lifestyle change and generating awareness of what is going on internally.
What was your previous work before becoming a Breath Service Provider?
Health coach, nutritionist, tour guide, sled dog tour guide, waiter, maintenance groundskeeper, electrician, gym personal trainer.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
Training for ironman, working as a tour guide, trail running, road biking, swimming, surfing, reading/study, cooking.
What guiding principles inform your work?
Holisitic health, wim hof method, whole food nutrition, 'ancient athlete' training principles (80% low intensity 20% high intensity)
Can you tell us more about your specialties?
My specialities stem from personal experiences. I used breathwork practice to overcome post traumatic stress. This helped me understand my body and mind on a deeper level. This awareness transferred into all areas of life which led to physical performance and a focus on the physical body from a holistic standpoint.

Can you tell us about your work with clients?
I provide one on one coaching and group workshops. One on one is focused on goal setting and achieving. The client tells me there ideal lifestyle and I help them bring it into reality by careful planning and gradual behaviour and lifestyle changes. With groups I guide Wim Hof Method workshops.
What will our first session together be like?
Awareness and goal setting. What is happening right now? What do you want to change? Why do you want to change? Whats getting in your way? How do we remove the obstacles? What is the first step you want to take? Make a plan.. Get in touch with the breath to release emotions, stored energy, and access the sub conscious. We will do a few rounds of deep breathing combined with cyclic introspective focused breathing. Discuss any emotions that arise or just feel them in the body. What does your ideal life look like? What can you do today to make it happen.
Are there any books you often recommend to clients?
Biology of belief, becoming supernatural, breathe, think like a monk, mans search for meaning, power v force, a new earth.
How can I prepare for our first session?
No preparation required, just be yourself, be honest.
