Wim Hof Method

Women’s Empowerment

ABOUT ME

Rachel Babaganov is a Women’s Coach, certified Wim Hof Method Instructor, and wellness advocate with a diverse background in nursing, health research, and a deep passion for holistic health. For far too long, Rachel found herself stifled by the weight of expectations—those of her culture, family, and community. It was a journey marked by struggle, but one that ultimately led her to uncover tools for shedding the layers of conditioning that had held her back.

Her quest for freedom led her to dive deep into science and research, immersing herself in the complexities of the mind. Yet, it was through the wisdom of the body that she found true liberation. The breath, movement, and the cold became her medicine, allowing her to release the burdens that weighed her down and listen more deeply to her intuition.

With a Master’s in Public Health and years of experience as a nurse and researcher, Rachel traveled the world searching for transformative healing practices. It was through the Wim Hof Method that she discovered a path to healing that integrated the body, nature, community, and the elements.

What truly transformed Rachel’s journey was the integration of Wim Hof’s practices with feminine softness and receptivity. Breathwork and cold exposure became rituals of surrender and release. Through deeply intuitive breathwork and a mindful approach to cold immersion, she learned to soften into the experience, allowing herself to trust the wisdom of her body.

Today, Rachel empowers women globally through Wild Woman retreats. Her mission is to help women reconnect to themselves—not only to find peace and stillness but to reclaim their power, voice, and strength. Through her work, she guides women on a transformative journey where they can rediscover their true essence, embrace a holistic integration of mind, body, and spirit, and live a life aligned with their deepest desires.

My Background Story

Born into the rhythms of a traditional household, I found myself straddling two worlds: the modern Canadian lifestyle and the cultural expectations of my family, which emphasized marriage and domesticity for women.

Despite feeling confined by these expectations, I struggled to break free, unsure of where to begin.

In 2014, I took a leap of faith, embarking on a solo journey to India with nothing but a one-way ticket.

It was there, amidst the vastness of new landscapes and cultures, that I finally found the space to connect with my true self. This experience ignited a spark within me, prompting me to trust the whispers of my intuition.

My path led me next to Germany, where I pursued a Master’s in Public Health. Guided by a deep desire to empower others and facilitate more holistic well-being, I immersed myself in studies aimed at understanding the root causes of health issues.

During this time, fate intervened in the form of a chance encounter with a Wim Hof Method Instructor—who would later become my husband. Through the practice of breathwork and cold exposure, I discovered a profound sense of calm and resilience that I had long been seeking. It was a revelation: the missing piece of the puzzle in my journey towards empowerment and authenticity.

However, our journey together was not without challenges. Marrying my husband proved to be a difficult transition, as my family struggled to accept him due to cultural differences. Once again, I found myself at a crossroads, needing to trust my intuition and forge my own path. With the tools I had learned, I navigated this challenging time with grace and resilience, staying true to myself while maintaining love and compassion for my family.

Today, I’m proud to say that we’ve built a beautiful relationship based on acceptance and love—a journey I never imagined possible. It’s a testament to the transformative power of trusting oneself and embracing the journey, even when it leads us into unfamiliar territory.

My journey is a testament to the power of trusting our inner guidance, even in the face of uncertainty. It’s a reminder that our deepest purpose is often found in the moments where we dare to listen to the whispers of our soul and follow where they lead.

My Mission

To help you come home – to YOU.

At the core of my mission is an unwavering love—a love for guiding you on a transformative journey back home to YOU.

In my role as a breathwork facilitator, my approach is deeply rooted in compassion and empathy. I believe in the power of holding space for individuals to fully express themselves, whether it’s through tears of release or through voicing your anger, fear, or blockages. Having experienced my own journey of struggle and transformation, I understand the importance of feeling safe to drop deep enough to feel. I want you, my love, to experience this too.

I want ALL of you to feel seen, heard, and deeply understood.

Together, we will peel back the layers of your heart, allowing you to leave our sessions with a newfound sense of freedom and expansiveness.

Embracing the power of the cold isn’t just about facing discomfort; it’s a journey of rediscovering your sensitivity, and resilience-building.

I approach the cold in a feminine way—a deep ritual, a prayer.

I let go of the fight and embrace the surrender. Through the teaching of the cold, and of mother nature, you’ll not only discover the power of the cold, but uncover a deeper connection to yourself, your intuition, and the world around you.

In a world that races forward, my mission is to guide you to slow down, to observe the subtleties of your being. 

It is within this intentional slowness that we uncover what you truly need.

At the heart of my mission lies love. Love for each individual’s journey, for their light to shine bright, and for their radiance to illuminate the world. Together, we embark on a journey to rediscover your power, creating a stronger, brighter, and healthier world—one empowered individual at a time.

Are you ready to shine your light?
