My name is Jacob W. Pathuis, certified Wim Hof Method Instructor and founder of Frozen Memory — a place where breath, cold, and awareness melt away the noise of daily life and bring you back to the calm, powerful rhythm that is already within you.

After more than 25 years in international business, I know how easily we lose ourselves in the constant rush — meetings, deadlines, children, relationships, and the endless hum of social media. The days blur, energy fades, and somewhere along the way, we forget how to breathe simply. I used to think that was normal. It isn’t.

In 2023, during an advanced training in Przesieka, Poland, I encountered the Wim Hof Method for the first time. The breath, the cold, and the stillness broke through the layers of tension I had built over the years. In that moment, I remembered what peace feels like — even amid intensity. From there, the journey deepened: the Aurora Winter Expedition in Finland (2025) and the Wim Hof Method Academy Module III (2025) helped me understand that we can all transform stress into strength, fear into focus, and exhaustion into quiet power.

Today, I bring that understanding into my Fundamentals Workshops, created for people like you — people juggling work, family, love, and time. People who long to feel present again, to breathe fully, to sleep deeply, to wake up with energy instead of hurry. My workshops are not about performance. They are an invitation to pause, to reconnect with your body, and to rediscover trust in its wisdom.

Beyond the workshops, I live an active and adventurous life as a 1st Dan full-contact karate teacher, diving instructor, and endurance athlete. These practices remind me every day that growth happens when you let go — when you meet the cold, the breath, and yourself with openness.

Through Frozen Memory, I help you remember what you were never meant to forget:
strength is not something to achieve — it’s something to return to.
