Get to know me
I’m Pavla, a dedicated health coach specializing in stress management and resilience building through the power of natural resources: air and cold. As the founder of My Heroic Wellness, my mission is to ignite a spark within you – not by uncovering something new, but by helping you recognize the strength and potential that already exist within you.
As a pioneer of Wim Hof Method and SOMA Breath in Malta, I help people harness the power of breath and their environment to cultivate optimal health, vitality, and inner resilience. Whether you’re a high-performing executive, a busy parent, or an athlete, my workshops and sessions are designed to fit your unique needs – because there’s no one-size-fits-all.
Through breathwork, meditation, and holistic coaching, I create transformative experiences that help you break free from self-limiting beliefs, enhance your focus, and build a more intentional, balanced life. My work isn’t about adding more to your plate, it’s about enhancing what you already do, making every breath, movement, and moment more powerful.
As a certified Heroic Coach, I’m committed to building a community of wellness heroes in Malta, where our mantra is simple yet profound: “No pressure, no diamonds.”
At My Heroic Wellness, I firmly believe that the power to thrive resides within each of us. It’s time to unleash it.

Food as medicine
At the PFFA/PHA event at Lija on Thursday 20th Feb 2025, we highlighted a book by Dr Casey Means:
“Good Energy: The Surprising Connection Between Metabolism and Limitless Health” and an interview she gave on the topic of taking ownership of your health.
This video was specifically mentioned.
Casey has a weekly newsletter and this week she highlights the importance of “Place as medicine: How our homes create health or disease”.
One of our local PHA practitioners in Gozo, Beverley Rimmer, a detox specialist, has produced a short Masterclass & Guidebook called Natural Antibiotics from your Kitchen Pharmacy for the February newsletter.
Discover How Natural Antibiotics sourced from your own Kitchen can boost your immune system and Improve your Immune Health, Effectively Preventing Illness and Fighting Off Bacteria, Infections and Flu Symptoms.
