Life is happening now. Let’s make it feel good.

Ways to work with me

Health & Resilience Coaching

Personalised one-to-one coaching to help you understand what is affecting your energy, wellbeing and capacity to cope.

Together, we look at the wider picture including stress, sleep, recovery, breathing, movement, nourishment and daily habits and identify realistic changes that support lasting progress.

This is collaborative coaching, shaped around your circumstances rather than a rigid programme or one-size-fits-all solution.

Personalised Breathwork

Your breathing influences how you feel, respond and recover but the most helpful practice is not the same for everyone.

In a personalised session, we explore your breathing patterns, current needs and goals before choosing practices that may support greater calm, more functional breathing, improved recovery or renewed energy.

Sessions may be restorative, practical or more experiential, depending on what is appropriate for you.

The Elemental Journey

A private two-hour experience combining personalised breathwork, infrared warmth, carefully guided cold exposure and time for integration.

The journey offers space to slow down, reconnect with your body and explore your response to comfort, challenge and change. Every element is adapted to your experience, needs and readiness.

You will be supported throughout, from settling the nervous system and preparing for the experience to grounding and integrating afterward.

Experiential Workshops & Events

Immersive group experiences combining education, guided practice and carefully supported personal challenge.

Available in Malta, these may include breathwork, nervous-system regulation, nature-based experiences and selected cold-exposure workshops, including official Wim Hof Method Fundamentals Workshops.

Whether the emphasis is restoration or stepping beyond a familiar comfort zone, each experience is designed to be supportive, purposeful and safely facilitated.

Workplace Wellbeing & Resilience

Practical, evidence-informed sessions that help people understand stress, regulate more effectively and maintain their capacity under pressure.

Workshops and programmes can be tailored to your organisation and may include stress literacy, breathing and nervous-system regulation, sustainable performance, recovery and resilience.

Sessions are engaging, experiential and designed to provide tools employees can use during the working day not simply information they will forget afterward.

Smiling Through Discomfort

Because life doesn’t get easier. But you can learn to meet it differently.

Would you like to feel calm… even in chaos?
Strong… even when life challenges you?
Alive… even in the cold?

A Wim Hof Method workshop is not simply an ice bath or a breathing class. It is an opportunity to explore how you respond when you meet uncertainty, intensity and discomfort and what becomes possible when you bring awareness, preparation and intention to that moment.

We bring together the three pillars of the method: breathing, cold exposure and commitment. You will understand the science, experience the breathing practice and prepare gradually for an optional ice bath. Some people come for more energy or recovery. Others want to work with fear, reconnect with their inner strength or simply discover what they are capable of.

Whatever brings you there, you may leave with more than you expected.

“Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

Real Stories of Courage & Transformation

Every person comes with a different story, need and starting point. Here are some reflections from people I have supported through coaching, breathwork, workshops and personalised experiences.

Very knowledgeable about nutrition, overall health and a wide variety of techniques for mental wellbeing. Pavla is also very easy to speak to and she is extremely supportive in every way. I really enjoyed my coaching sessions and feel that I have a lot of tools to help me lead a healthier life.

Since I met Pavla about 2 years ago, she has been an inspiration to me on many levels.

Through her passion, determination and support, Pavla managed to change something scary and difficult – cold exposure – into something you can overcome and nearly enjoy.

Daily cold showers and regular ice baths have been life-changing for me. I’ve seen a big improvement in my immune system, especially fighting colds, and in my overall mental health.

Pavla is very knowledgeable in several breathing techniques. Besides Wim Hof breathing, I’ve practiced Soma Breath and Coherent Breathing with her. She makes it easy to learn and knows exactly when and how to use these techniques for healing — emotionally and physically.

Finally, her Hot & Cold Contrast Sessions bring it all together. These one-to-one experiences intensify the benefits because of the personalized guided breathing she offers.

If you are looking for an empowering experience that will transform your life, I highly recommend getting in touch with Pavla. Her passion for self-healing and wealth of knowledge is incredible. I am so glad to have met her.

Dr Audrey Sciberras

Psychologist

I was introduced to your group by my childhood friend. I had never done WHM nor had heard of it so it was a real experience and had been transformative for me. I was fortunate that you recorded the first session I attended so I have listened to this every other day. I have found  enormous physical and mental benefits even in this short time. I have also now listened to your final recording and loved that too. Don’t have the ability to properly explain your impact on me (and clearly on so many others too) to do this justice but I found your manner and style and your ability to connect the WHM to the music you enjoyed was truly magical. I do believe that the combination was tremendous.

I am a psychiatrist and so very interested in mental health and have worked for decades in this field. I did not expect the impact to be so great so quickly (I do regular dance classes and yoga and have tried meditation previously but not really found a way to combat the enormous feelings of stress and anxiety surrounding my work during this Pandemic (I work in the public hospital system where it has been extremely frightening even if, so far we have been lucky in Australia). I wanted to thank you- you are an inspirational person and your ability to share in the way you have was incredibly lovely and I feel lucky that my friend connected me to you. Huge gratitude.

Pavla is a true healer, inspiration and guide. The combination of breathing technique with music and affirmations are unique and powerful. I hadn’t heard about the WHM until being introduced by Pavla almost a year ago. I haven’t looked back since. Thank you!

Prof Jackie Curtis

Director, Mindgardens Neuroscience Network

My private session with Pavla was nothing short of transformative.

The combination of the infrared sauna, guided breath meditation, and healing trypnaural music created an atmosphere of deep relaxation.

As I sweated out toxins in the sauna, Pavla gently guided me through breathwork, helping me focus my mind and release tension.

Transitioning from the sauna to the ice bath was invigorating. Pavla’s guidance and encouragement made the experience energizing — a powerful reminder of embracing discomfort and letting go of fear.

We concluded by grounding on the warm grass, soaking up the healing rays of the sun.

Pavla’s nurturing presence and thoughtful guidance left me feeling balanced, rejuvenated, and deeply connected to myself and the world around me.

I cannot recommend this session highly enough for anyone seeking a holistic approach to wellness and self-care.

Thank you, Pavla, for your wisdom, compassion, and transformative energy.

Roberta Stellini

Founder and teacher, Rob's Swim School

I didn’t really know what to expect from the sauna blanket and SOMA breathwork – but it turned into one of the most relaxing and deeply moving experiences I’ve had.

The heat created a warm internal glow while Pavla’s breath guidance helped me go deep – physically and mentally.

Going from the heat into the ice bath scared me, even after 2 years of cold exposure practice. But after fear came emotion… then release.

It left me feeling lighter, content, detoxified – and I slept so well that night.

Thank you, Pavla. I’m already looking forward to the next session – curious to see what else I’ll discover.

Life & Mindset Coach, Mindset by Daphne

Thank you for the incredible breathwork session you guided me through. I’ve experienced many sessions before, but this one was by far the most powerful. You have a truly beautiful gift – your ability to weave music, words, and intention creates a space for profound release and deep healing.

I’m still processing the experience (I forgot how much hurt I had buried), but I feel lighter with a deep sense of forgiveness and love.

You are a blessing. Thank you for sharing your beautiful gifts so generously with me.

Annette David

Coach and Heroic Workshop Instructor

My top goals were to quit smoking, integrate well-being techniques into daily life, and have more joy.

Pavla helped me achieve these goals with constant support, encouragement, listening to my fears, and providing me with tools and techniques to overcome them.

The biggest change I’ve noticed is realizing that nothing is impossible with will and dedication. Quitting smoking and managing the challenges that followed has never been easier with her guidance.

Pavla is extraordinarily kind, supportive, and very competent in well-being methods. She motivates and encourages you to formulate your goals and work towards them – all while enjoying and appreciating the journey.

I would recommend her to anyone seeking balance, battling self-doubt, or looking for tools to take care of their well-being and sanity in this crazy world.

Amir Wazaz

Research Officer

Thank you for an amazing day. It was calming, uplifting, and deeply positive.

I wasn’t expecting the ice bath to impact me so emotionally. At one point, while I was in the ice, Pavla said to me: ‘You’ve been through a lot – you can do this.’

She had no idea how true that was.

That one split second brought everything back and now those two minutes in the ice have become a symbol of everything I’ve overcome.

Her unique combination of science, philosophy, and psychology convinced me of the life-changing power of this experience.

I’m so glad I decided to come.

In the pursuit of self-improvement, the journey into the Wim Hof Method has been nothing short of transformative. I first joined Pavla’s Wim Hof Method Workshop in 2022, curious to learn a tool for stress management. I had no idea it would change my life on so many levels.

Nearly two years later, the impact of the practice – breathwork, mindset, and regular ice baths – has been profound. With Pavla’s guidance, I built cold exposure into my routine and even started swimming in the Mediterranean all year round!

Most importantly, this method has taught me how to handle life’s challenges with clarity, calm, and inner strength.

I recently attended a Wim Hof Method retreat, and it was truly an incredible experience! Even though I’ve always disliked the cold, Pavla’s outstanding guidance made the ice bath feel surprisingly manageable. Pavla is exceptionally knowledgeable and clearly passionate about her work; the day was thoughtfully structured with an ideal balance of theory, breathwork, and the ice bath itself. And as if all of that weren’t enough, the food provided was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended!

My work brings together health coaching, stress physiology, functional approaches to breathing and years of experience guiding individuals and groups through restoration, regulation and carefully supported challenge.

Before entering the wellbeing field, I worked in economics and finance. That analytical background still shapes the way I work: I value evidence, careful observation and practical application. But I also understand that meaningful change is not created by information alone. People need to feel heard, supported and able to take steps that fit their real lives.
