About Your Guide
My story: From Corporate Burnout to Zen Adventure Guide
My journey to becoming Chiang Mai's leading breath coach and cold therapy guide began in the most unlikely of places - a high-stress corporate job in the tech industry. As a software consultant, I was constantly on edge, burning the candle at both ends. My health suffered, my relationships strained, and I felt disconnected from any sense of purpose.
Everything changed when I stumbled upon breathwork and cold exposure therapy during a much-needed vacation. The immediate impact was profound - I felt alive, clear-headed, and truly present for the first time in years. This spark of transformation led me on a quest to dive deeper into these practices.
I trained with world-renowned experts, including Wim Hof himself, and became certified in various breathwork and cold therapy techniques. As I integrated these practices into my daily life, I witnessed a complete transformation. My stress levels plummeted, my energy soared, and I rediscovered a zest for life I thought I'd lost forever.
Inspired by my own transformation, I left the corporate world behind and moved to Chiang Mai, drawn by its perfect blend of natural beauty and spiritual tradition. Here, at the foot of Doi Suthep, I found my true calling - guiding others to discover their inner strength and connect with nature's wisdom.
For the past five years, I've been combining my technical precision from my software days with my passion for holistic well-being. I've guided over 1000 people through life-changing experiences, helping them push their boundaries and discover the incredible resilience of the human body and spirit.
My Zen Adventure is the culmination of this journey - a unique blend of invigorating physical challenges, mindful practices, and cultural immersion. Join me, and let's explore the hidden wonders of Chiang Mai while unlocking your own potential for transformation.

I normally HATE cold water, but thanks to Jason, I managed my first ice bath! I feel so energized and fresh afterwards!

Felt calm as a cucumber, exactly what I needed in the chaos of the city. This is a perfect spot to really connect with your breath and self.

After 1.5 years of Jason's workshops, I'm amazed at the results. Not only are the sessions rejuvenating, but they've taught me to manage stress effectively in daily life. It's incredible how this practice trains your brain to react better over time. You'll walk away invigorated, focused, and feeling great!

Jason is an exceptional breathwork instructor. His clear guidance creates a deep connection within the group. The breathing exercises brought total peace, relaxing my whole body. During the ice bath, Jason's calm motivation was invaluable. If you want to push your limits in a supportive environment, I 100% recommend this experience!

Yes, our ice baths are completely safe when done correctly. As an expert cold therapy guide, I closely monitor each participant and provide thorough instructions. We start with shorter immersions and gradually increase duration based on individual comfort levels. The water temperature is typically between 5-15°C (40-60°F).
No prior experience needed! Whether it's ice baths, meditation, or hiking - we welcome beginners and guide you through everything. The most important thing is your willingness to try something new.
The experience is designed to be accessible to most fitness levels. The hike to Wat Palad is about 1.5 km with some uphill sections, but we take a comfortable pace with breaks. Most people with average fitness find it manageable.
Wear comfortable clothing and sturdy shoes for the hike. Bring a change of clothes for after the ice bath. We provide towels, water, and mats. We also have a bathroom with shower.
We've had a range from 1 to 7 people joining - giving you personalized attention and a more immersive experience.
We meet here at Zen Strength HQ - our location near Doi Suthep's base. We can help arrange transportation from your accommodation for an additional fee.
While we respect and draw inspiration from established practices like the Wim Hof Method, our Zen Adventure offers a uniquely local experience. Instead of a classroom setting, you'll practice breathwork and cold exposure in nature, followed by a hike to one of Chiang Mai's hidden temple treasures.
Our intimate group size ensures personalized guidance, and the combination of wellness practices with cultural immersion creates an experience you won't find elsewhere. Plus, as we're based at the foot of Doi Suthep mountain, we can offer this transformative journey at a fraction of the cost of formal certification programs.
This isn't just a workshop - it's an adventure that blends modern wellness practices with ancient Thai spirituality, all while surrounded by Chiang Mai's natural beauty.
Full refund if cancelled 24 hours before start time. We understand plans can change when traveling.
