Matthew Beckham

Editor

A few years ago, Matthew found himself in the English countryside during a cold spring. A small group of wellness thrhusiasts met first thing in the morning to brave the cold and begin their day with a dip in an unheated outdoor pool. This ritual, known as “Project Hof,” quickly became a cherished part of his routine. The chilly morning plunge served as a form of meditation, helping him kickstart his day with increased attention, focus, clarity, and an improved sense of well-being.

Inspired by the benefits he experienced from Project Hof, Matthew founded the Thermo-Wellness Blog. His goal was to create a helpful resource for those interested in learning about deliberate cold and heat exposure, ensuring they could safely and effectively incorporate these practices into their lives.

Matthew brings a keen sense of curiosity, background in marketing and customer experience, and core desire to help others. Through his blog, he aims to share his knowledge and passion for thermo-wellness, guiding readers on their journey to better health and well-being.
