About Stuart
Stuart Brown Fire Walk Facilitator.
My name is Stuart Brown, rock climber, motivational speaker, fire-walking facilitator. I am married to my wonderful wife Regula and have three fantastic children, Robyn, Jonathan and Mashaba.
I have had a passion for rock climbing for over 25 years, seeking my own personal, physical and mental boundaries on the rock and on ice. Another one of my passions is to teach fellow climbers how to reach their personal limits in the vertical word. In climbing workshops and training camps, I would share the experiences that I have gained from various courses as a SAFS Fitness Instructor, Swiss National Competition route setter and Swiss rock climbing instructor. The desire is always to perfect ones physical abilities.
In 1997 I read an article on fire-walking - and being the down to earth kind of person I am and having the habit of questioning anything out of the ordinary, it was obvious I wasn’t going to fall for this one. “How is that possible? I do not believe this can be done, I want to know how the trick works!” so I took the opportunity and filled out the form at the end of the article and before I knew it I was on my way to my first fire-walk.
The experience that evening was amazing I walked over red hot coals without a problem, there was no trick, it was all in the mind. Soon after my first experience with fire-walking it started to dawn on me that if I could walk on coals, what would the results be if I focused this kind of power on rock climbing. So in 1999 I was once again heading off to do my second fire-walk with the aim of improving my rock climbing. The results were fantastic and for the first time I believed the saying “where the mind goes the body will follow”. Over the next few years my body followed me up some amazing rock routes. This also added a new topic in my climbing work shops and I could satisfy my passion in helping others.
It was always in the back of my mind that one day I would like to help others achieve their goals in life through the fire-walk. At the beginning of 2007, I did my first presentation for Suezette Smit of Performance Development Interactive, as a motivational speaker and used rock climbing and abseiling in my presentations. Suddenly the thought that had been hanging around in the back of my mind shot forward and before I knew it I was on a plane, off to Switzerland to learn the art of a fire-walk facilitator by Franz X. Bühler of the IP Institut Für Persönlichkeitsentfaltung.
It would give me great pleasure to welcome you to one of my power fire-walks or facilitate at your corporate event and share with you this amazing experience, you too can achieve the goals that you have set or make the changes you want to make, it will be an evening to remember.
