BIO
I am an IT specialist and a mother of two. Wim Hof Method entered my life when needed it most without even being aware of that need - I found huge benefits for my emotional and physical health in practicing it on a daily basis. Soon after I decided to become a WHM instructor in order to have a firm ground to inspire people - not just sportsmen, but whoever wants to change their life or is curious to explore. A year later i was certified for the level 2. Since then I have been having a variety of activities - organising my own WHM events, having collaborations with other disciplines, being invited to give workshops to companies. In June 2023 I was invited to assist Wim Hof in one of the few events led by him - a summer expedition in Spain.
I am eager to continue this work - both locally here in Lithuania and internationally. My goal is to inspire people on one hand and to help institutions and businesses to develop more healthy environments and/or systems in their fields.
VILNELĖS PANKAI
Community is a very important part for me while practicing the Wim Hof Method. After I started going dipping in the Vilnelė River on a daily basis in 2019, a group of like-minded people soon gathered, and since then we have been supporting the daily rhythm of WHM in Vilnius waters and inspiring many people to try this method.
Anyone can join Vilnelės Pankai community. More about us: https://www.facebook.com/groups/997687803921364
THE FACTS
-
My children go to a forest kindergarten and school - seeing every day how nature nurtures, strengthens and inspires my children in any season, I wanted that for myself
-
My grandmother was a pediatrician, nonetheless she was always keen on exploring all kinds of holistic methods to stay fit, one of them was a movement of women, gathering for daily dips in her hometowns' lake.
-
My mother's aunt, a famous doctor Filomena Taunytė, already treated her patients' health problems with the cold water method 20 years ago. Following her advice, my mother has been walking in the snow for several decades and takes an icy shower daily
-
Besides healthy habits as cold and movement, I give huge importance to sleep and eating - for į years I eat only plant-based food and can only recommend such a diet not only for the environment and animals, but for your own well-being.
-
I’m an IT professional and I really like pragmatic explanations, so WHM seems to me to be a great mix between spirituality and science-based technique.
COLLEAGUES
I love working in teams and am always open to coollaborate with WHM colleagues and professionals from other fields.
