Biography

Marcos Jarvis is a dynamic speaker, retreat leader, and certified Wim Hof Instructor (Level 1), committed to helping individuals and organisations unlock their full potential through resilience, mental fortitude, and well-being. In 2019, Marcos faced a life-altering diagnosis of advanced, incurable cancer. After 35 rounds of chemotherapy, he turned to holistic healing practices, including a vegan diet, tai chi, acupuncture, homeopathy, and mastering the Wim Hof method and cold exposure. His recovery, against all odds, has inspired thousands, and he has been cancer-free for over three years.

Marcos’ signature talk, “Awaken the Warrior,” offers a powerful message for businesses and teams: through adversity, we can discover untapped strength, creativity, and resilience. His story goes beyond personal inspiration; it’s a testament to how facing challenges head-on builds the mental and emotional resilience necessary for thriving in high-pressure environments. Audiences leave equipped with actionable strategies that enhance their well-being, focus, and performance.

As the founder of the “Warrior’s Breath” retreat, Marcos leads immersive programs that help individuals reconnect with their inner power, using breathwork, cold immersion, and mindset techniques to reduce stress, improve mental clarity, and boost productivity. He also actively supports the Wolo Foundation, a local cancer charity, by giving back to those facing similar battles, making him a powerful advocate for community and corporate responsibility.

"Marcos was invited to talk at an event I hosted for my clients. Our theme for the event was legacy. Marcos's story was a really powerful way to round out our programme. Marcos has an infectious personality, and his energy and passion really help him to connect with the audience. Whilst his story and his battle with cancer are impressive, what I believes helps Marcos to connect is his deep understanding of how mindset, and taking control of everything that is within your power positively impacts our results. This lesson is relevant for anyone, in any walk of life with any challenge we face. Hearing from someone who took this principle and applied it to his own life in the most traumatic of times is a powerful testament to the power of the mind. I would wholeheartedly recommend Marcos to share his story at any event." Haydn Bratt, Mindset Leadership LLP
