"Fantastic, I’m hooked. I loved the community and meeting new people. I loved how we are all supporting each other when we are in there (the ice bath) and how it is all mind over matter. I went on a lot longer than I thought I would so bring on the next one!"

"I found the morning meditation an excellent way to begin each new day during the busyness of the Festival and holiday time. It was just the tonic I needed after what was a very stressful year for me both on a personal level and also my work in Adult Education. Our facilitator, Rachel, is excellent at what she does. Bridget was also very friendly and helpful as well. I thoroughly enjoyed and benefitted from my morning meditation- I feel more relaxed and grounded now. Thank you all"

"We attended the recent Sneem Festival Move, Breath, Swim, Eat event at White Strand beach. All information beforehand was well communicated. The event itself was wonderful, relaxing, invigorating, informative and fun. Our instructor John was friendly and very knowledgeable, we came away wanting to learn more. The food at lunch was tasty and healthy, and we met a lovely group of people. We would highly recommend this event, and we are looking forward to attending further events when they are in our area. Thank you."

"I feel brilliant. Actually it’s funny, after about a minute and a half in the ice bath you actually start to warm up and you feel like you could go another two minutes easily. It was invigorating, I do a bit of sea swimming and the breathwork is bound to have helped."

Wim Hof Workshop - Duagh

"I would be used to the cold water exposure to a certain extent so it’s nothing that I haven’t witnessed before even thought I haven’t used ice until recently. It was still a bit cold but I felt fine, I felt good. After the first minute I got control of my breathing and it started to become more comfortable and more bearable. It was fantastic. With the breathwork – that’s what I will take most from this. We had three or more sessions inside, I found in the last one that I was really relaxed. I went to a place that I’d never been before; it was like I was semi-conscious. I never knew that the breath could bring you to those places. It was just fantastic and I’m hoping to carry it on."

"On taking part in method Hof Method Workshop in Ballybunion, breathing exercises were excellent enjoyed each part of the 3 hour workshop. Final part was the ice bath anyone that has an injury, I would recommend the Wim Hof Method. It was very relaxing. Will be continuing the Wim Hof Method, just after purchase of an ice bath will look forward doing it going forward."

My kids (10 & 8) had the Best time! The booking experience was extremely easy and painless, It was great to meet Bridget and her brother, Liam. Both of them are lovely people, very attentive and extremely helpful. I would highly recommend Quest and Thrive as a business to follow and would strongly suggest getting involved with their very professionally run events, which are just brilliant. I was really very impressed with the set up, the instructors and Bridget and Liam themselves, who obviously put in an awful lot of time and effort to ensure their clients get the best possible experience. Five star service, I will be watching out for other events to get involved with for myself and my family.

I learned the basics of Oxygen Advantage while practicing movement on the beach. The swim was wonderful after the exercise. The delicious lunch that followed gave all participants the chance to chat and connect. Like-minded people connecting over shared activities. I highly recommend Quest and Thrive and look forward to future events. Website is very informative. Great day all round.Mary McAuliffeMary McAuliffe ★★★★★ I would absolutely recommend Quest and Thrive - I worked with Bridget McAuliffe, co-founder of Quest and Thrive, who was co-organiser, along with myself and Owen O'Shea, of the Kerry Civil War Conference in Feburary 2023- The standard of organisation and attention to detail which Bridget brought to conference made it the standout experience of Ireland's Decade of Centenaries for the speakers and attendees. Refered to as a 'ground-breaking event' in the media there is no doubt this in due in no small part to Bridget's work as na organiser.Should you need a gold standard event organised, I can highly recommend Quest and Thrive.John MurphyJohn Murphy ★★★★★ Great experience, very well organised, event started right in time, personal attention given by Quest and Thrive staff, would highly recommend this company.Frankie DalyFrankie Daly ★★★★★ A Superb morning in Ballybunion in glorious weather organised by the very efficient and friendly team at Quest & Thrive .The Breathing workshop led by John was excellent and managed to be both relaxing and energising , this was followed by an exhilarating dip in the Atlantic waves which we all managed like pros with our new breathing techniques !

We also collaborated on a book on the history of Kerry's role in the Easter Rising 1916 and have worked on several other publications and projects. Bridget is a skilled event planner and coordinator and has excellent communication, administrative and organisational skills. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend hiring Bridget and Quest and Thrive for your group or event if you want an experienced, capable and innovative event organiser.js_loader
