Embodied Empowerment & Breath with Benny Berry

Embodied Empowerment & Breath — with Benny Berry In this deeply resonant episode of the Helsi Show, Sebastian welcomes Benny Berry, a former underground Search & Rescue team leader, firefighter, and lifeguard, who has transformed a life of service into a path of holistic healing and breath-led transformation. After chronic pain disrupted his career and way of life, Benny redirected his energy inward, uncovering the healing power of breathwork, movement, and cold exposure. What began as a personal health journey became a lifelong mission to empower others to reclaim their bodies and their peace. Benny now works full-time as a breathwork and cold exposure facilitator, drawing from his accreditations in the Wim Hof Method, Oxygen Advantage, and the Paul Chek Institute. Through thousands of Breath and Ice workshop participants, Benny has shown how tools as simple as the breath and the cold can unlock deep physical healing, emotional release, and a profound sense of presence. This conversation explores how pain, purpose, and embodiment intersect: and how tuning into the body allows us to become better leaders, parents, and humans.
