SPEAKER PROFILE: IAN KIRK
IAN KIRK
Mindfulness and Wellbeing
Ian Kirk is the founder of Inner Alchemy, where he blends ancient wellness practices with modern science to help individuals reclaim health, resilience, and vitality. His journey into holistic health was shaped by personal experience of chronic stress and inflammation, leading him to discover the transformative impact of breathwork, cold exposure, and plant-based nutrition. He is a certified Wim Hof Method instructor and draws further inspiration from Dr. Sebi’s alkaline, plant-focused principles.
Ian specialises in delivering structured Wim Hof Method programmes that integrate controlled breathing, mindful cold exposure, meditation, and anti-inflammatory nutrition to enhance immunity, reduce stress, and build mental clarity and confidence. He also offers breathwork sessions, immersive retreats, and one-to-one consultations, all designed to address root causes rather than symptoms.
Based on the Isle of Man, Ian’s philosophy is simple: true health is wealth. Through practical, natural tools, he helps clients cleanse body and mind, reduce inflammation, boost immunity, and cultivate a calmer, more empowered life.
Ian works with an exceptional calibre of clients, including professional athletes, elite military personnel, and senior leaders across the public and private sectors. His private roster includes Premier League and Rugby World Cup winners, Paralympic gold medallists, Isle of Man TT riders, and the Isle of Man national football team. Corporately, he is trusted by organisations such as Zurich International, Microgaming, Games Global, Terra Firma, BEST, Isle of Man Financial Services Authority, Manx Care, and IQEQ.
Whether the goal is peak athletic performance or sustained corporate excellence, clients are drawn to Ian’s bespoke, results-driven programmes.
